Decision details
Heritage Services - Victoria Art Gallery Air Conditioning
Decision Maker: Director of Economy & Growth
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The new air conditioning system will replace
out of date, failing equipment which will reduce maintenance
expenditure.
Decision:
To approve capital project of £225k;
comprising £136k of 2018/2019 existing approved budget plus
this decision to fully approve capital of £89k from the
2019/2020 Provisional Capital Programme.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - do nothing. To do nothing would
mean continued reactive maintenance expenditure. It would also mean
the gallery would not be able to guarantee environmental controls
in order to secure high quality, revenue generating exhibitions.
For this reason the option was discounted.
