Contract Variation

That the Strategic Director of Housing and Modernisation:

1.  Approves the variation to Daniel’s Road, construction contract with Geoffrey Osborne’s Limited (Osborne).

2.  Notes a drawn down from the contingency budget to cover inflation costs applied between Gateway (GW) 2 approval (March 2018) and contract award (August 2019).

3.  Notes a further call down of the rest of the contingency, reducing the variation to the contract sum.

4.  Notes the decrease of on-costs associated with the contract. On-costs include a number of commitments made to local residents including repairs and improvements to existing communal structures and neighbouring homes affected by the new development.

5.  Notes the unspent on-costs approved at GW2 are utilised to partially resource the increase of works costs.
