Stanmer Park Restoration HLF

The contractor closed the site for 6 weeks during April and May 2020 due to the Covid-19 Pandemic with key contractor employees diagnosed with the virus. There were difficulties in obtaining materials and critical items causing further delays. Furthermore, during the restoration of the historic buildings and structures additional unforeseen additional work was required. These delays will also incur additional support for professional fees and project management costs. A minimum of £0.250m additional costs has been identified and negotiations with the contractor are ongoing to resolve further costs being incurred. The client contingency sum had allowed a sum for risk element but is not sufficient for the combination of Covid-19 related delays and additional work found on site. The National Heritage Lottery Fund have indicated that they will support any additional costs arising from the pandemic and an application for extra funding is being submitted. Other options being explored include additional Section 106 funding and any shortfall will be met from borrowing supported by the service revenue department.

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 anticipated and form part of the overall scheme costs reported to date.  This was a complex project with some issues that caused an increase in scheme costs due to the constrained nature of the sites.

The Party Wall awards have been delayed as negotiations are still ongoing. This will cause a slight delay to start on site pushing back additional fees under RIBA stage 5.

Construction of these homes completed in May 2020; the final accounts are due to be settled this year following the defects period. These costs were anticipated and form part of the overall scheme costs reported to date.  The variance relates to some unforeseen issues identified as the project progressed such as significant works to the retaining structure behind the new homes.

Variance

Variances of less that £0.100m across the following schemes:

£0.001m - Wellsbourne Development

Housing Revenue Account

 

Variation

336

Oxford Street

Operational constraints imposed by COVID-19 on current work practices and supply chains has caused some delay to this project. Some overspend has been projected due to the profiling of spend between 2020/21 and 2021/22 and additional cost has been incurred due to unforeseen works and as a result of the extended target completion dates.

Variation

325

HRA Adaptations

Demand is rising as people are living longer but with more long-term conditions - in 2019/20 the council assisted 265 households (315 orders completed) compared to 216 households in the previous year, investing £1.450m compared to £1.227m in previous year.

Variation

Car Parks & Garages

Variation less than £0.100m.

Reprofile

(320)

Heating Water Tanks & Boiler Systems

A change in the planned start date for the new heating, cooling and ventilation system for the Housing Centre means that this budget needs to be reprofiled to 2021/22 to reflect the revised spend profile. The aim is to significantly reduce the carbon emissions related to our service delivery activities through this investment.

Reprofile

(130)

Door Entry Systems & CCTV

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 have now started and progress is being closely monitored.

Reprofile

(1,200)

Fire Safety

Consultation with residents has led to changes to the specification for sprinkler installations in two blocks in the city. Further work on the specification is required ahead of running a procurement process and commencing these works. Further significant expenditure is not forecast in this financial year so the budget is being reprofiled to 2021/22. Progress is being closely monitored ahead of works commencing.

Reprofile

(600)

Home Energy Efficiency & Renewables

A low/zero carbon system of ground source heat pumps and new heating distribution system at Elwyn Jones Court will bring benefits to both residents and the environment by reducing the need for fossil fuel use. The existing heating system requires replacement.  There will be no spend this financial year, so the approved budget of £0.600m is being reprofiled to 2021/22.

Reprofile

(3,544)

Home Purchase Scheme

A number of properties have been diverted from the Home Purchase Programme to the NSAP programme resulting in less home purchased under this budget. COVID-19 continues to have an impact on the delivery of homes as well, the lead in time for a purchase and re-let is now six months as opposed to two months prior to the pandemic.

Variance

(100)

Water Tanks

As reported at Month 2 and Month 5 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 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 has progressed well since restarting and is due to be completed in November 2020. Progress is being closely monitored and the council will review budget allocation for 2021/22 as a result of the delays to the programme.
