A259\West Street Shelter Hall - BS5618

In 2015 the council tendered for the construction and fit out of toilets as part of the Shelterhall regeneration and highway stabilisation project. The construction of the Shelterhall is nearing completion and the shell of the toilets and servicing has been completed. However, the council is committed to providing high specification toilets with exemplar disabled toilet provision. The  cost of the fit out since the main tender has risen, together with difficult construction issues compounded by cost and delays resulting from Covid-19. The council therefore needs to increase borrowing by £0.420m which includes tender price, project management and contingency. The council will be funded by the increase in the rent revenue which is projected to be over £0.200m per annum higher than expected.

A Variation of £1.500m is requested to the current ‘Workstyles Phase 4’ budget for a dedicated budget to support the ‘Moulsecoomb Housing and Hub’ project which was reported to this committee on 30 April 2020.

Redevelopment of HRA Vacant Garage Sites

The final accounts for the construction of 12 homes at Kensington Street are due to be settled this financial year. These costs were expected and form part of the overall scheme costs reported to date. This was a complex project with a range of issues that caused an increase in scheme costs due to the constrained nature of the sites.

Construction of these homes was completed in May 2020; the final accounts are due to be settled this year following the ‘defects period’. These costs were expected and form part of the overall scheme costs reported to date.

Planned Programme

As reported at Month 2 the planned programmes for this year have been significantly impacted by COVID-19, in addition programmes were forecast to begin later in the year as a result of significant procurement activity on both the planned works contract and major works contracts. Procurement processes for planned term contracts were paused in March 2020 as a result of the pandemic and restarted in June 2020. The procurement is due to be completed in November 2020. Progress is being closely monitored and the council will review budget allocations for 2021/22 as a result of the delays to the programme.

Home Energy Efficiency & Renewables

The planned solar panel installation at the Housing Centre has been retendered with costs approximately £0.040m lower than originally expected. £0.125m set aside for further solar panel installations as part of the new 3 year programme will not be spent as the procurement process is still to be completed. Further delays to the outcome of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funded project have impacted the project start and subsequently the spend of council match funding.

Variance

(708)

Planned Programme

Programme spend is less than budgeted, due to the COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place. This has meant that planned work has not been undertaken over the first half of the financial year. Some programmes are now underway and progress is being closely monitored.
