Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

GBC ran an open market tender for the following works:

• Reconstruction of Westfield Road
• Reformation of the junction between Westfield and Moorfield Roads, the new Internal Estate Road and the new UKPN (Thames Water) substation access
• Formation of new Thames Water access off the Internal Estate Road
• Resurfacing of a portion of the already built Internal Estate Road

The works are designed to adoptable standards, and will be built to these standards with a view to offering the road for adoption once works and the statutory maintenance period are completed.

Three compliant returns were received. Winvic were the winners of the bid across a combined technical, commercial and legal evaluation.

The tendered sum is £1,363,804. The Pre-tender estimate cost for construction including contingency is £1,615,000. The resurfacing of a greater stretch of the existing IER was not previously allowed for and this is estimated at £183,700 including contingency. Therefore the estimated value of the contract is £1,798,700.

Reasons for the decision:

For delivery of IER Phase 2 works.
