Decision Maker: Assistant Director - Highways & Infrastructure

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Procure a contract for the replacement of Cayton Carr Culvert under NEC4 Short contract on the CECF 2026 Civils Lot One Framework. Evaluation of Tender will be on a price only basis.

Reasons for the decision:

The culvert needs significant maintenance and will continue to suffer degradation in its current form. A replacement is a more cost effective solution, with a futureproofed design. The aim is to install a new structure that will require significantly less maintenance in the future.

Alternative options considered:

Undertake maintenance of the existing structure, the cost of which would be bordering on the total costs for a replacement. More cost effective to replace. This will require lower costs for any small future maintenance.
