To seek to award the tender for the Tin
Footbridge Span 2 replacement.
[The budget for the scheme is £450k, however, it is
recognised that the tender returns may exceed £500k due to
the current unpredictability in tender prices, particularly with
design and build contracts. Therefore a Key Decision may be
required.]
To tender the scheme for the replacement of
Tin Footbridge (Span 2) Design and Build contract.
The replacement of the span is a high priority
scheme The replacement will be difficult, due to the location so a
design & build contract is the most appropriate selection. The
scheme is expected to cost in the region of £500k.
[The budget for the scheme is £450k, however, it is
recognised that the tender returns may exceed £500k due to
the current unpredictability in tender prices, particularly with
design and build contracts. For the purpose of transparency, a Key
Decision is should the budget exceed]
Have two separate contracts, one for the span
design and fabrication and one for the replacement works. This
increases the risk on the council, allowing for errors between the
2 contracts to occur. Having the bridge design and installed under
the same contract, by the same contractor, places the risk firmly
with the contractor and should result in a comprehensive scheme
with a reduced risk in design/installation errors.
