Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

To award the contract for Pinder Canal Bridge, repainting works to Hankinsons Ltd for £91,442.00. The scheme is from the Highways Capital Budget.

Reasons for the decision:

Pinder Canal Bridge carries the A6131 Keighley Road across the Leeds & Liverpool Canal in Skipton. Existing paint coating has deteriorated & the structure is corroding in all areas and will continue to corrode until the paint coating is renewed. The A6131 is a priority route as well as the canal network being nationally important & repairs are considered to be a high priority. A procurement exercise was carried out using the Painting Framework.

Alternative options considered:

Closure of Keighley Road and the canal in order to carry out the work more quickly has been considered and rejected due to the significance of Keighley Road and also the canal.
