Decision details
Manvers Street Remediation
Decision Maker: Director of Place Management
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The Manvers Street Remediation Project aims to
identify and deliver concrete slab and foundation repairs which
will address long-term issues with a key part of Bath’s road
network. The project is funded by £5m of WECA’s
Challenge Maintenance Fund, of which £887k has been used to
cover feasibility and scoping work, identification of a proposed
solution and preliminary design.
The remaining funds require approval in order to appoint a
contractor to carry out final surveys, provide detailed design
services and deliver the works. These monies are provisionally
approved and need full approval so a budget can be created.
Decision:
To fully approve spend of £4.113m to
enter into a contract for detailed design and remediation works at
Manvers Street. This will be funded by WECA’s Challenge
Maintenance Fund CRSTS.
Alternative options considered:
To not proceed with the works at Manvers
Street, resulting in continued deterioration of the road surface
and foundation, requiring ad hoc repairs and regular road
closures.
