Whitby Maritime Hub |
(Pages 333 - 370) |
|
|
Recommendations
1) To seek approval from the Executive to enter into the construction contract, including any associated project manager and supervisor appointments, to carry out the Whitby Maritime Hub Project on the terms principally contained in this report; and delegate to the Corporate Director of Resources in consultation with the Corporate Director of Community Development and Assistant Chief Executive Legal and Democratic Services to agree the final terms of the contracts, within the established budget.
2) To note the risks highlighted in the report and the potential need for additional funding from the Council as set out in the financial implications section of the report. At this stage it is not possible to identify the value of any potential gap in funding but if Executive approval is given, there is a cost to the Council which represents the regeneration value of the scheme which will need to be met from Corporate resources.
