Issue details
Waste modernisation & improvement programme
A competitive procurement has been carried out
followed by detailed scrutiny and evaluation of tender responses
for the construction of the Pixash, Keynsham Recycling Hub. In
order to secure programme certainty and mitigate risk of further
cost inflation, due to the current material and labour market
forces, a Limited Letter of Intent (LLOI) has been agreed with a
preferred contractor. To protect the council's contractual
position, this creates a financial commitment for advance site
works, design development and discharge of planning conditions.
This provides contractual certainty to commence early activity and
place advance orders for steel (rebar and mesh) and secure
supply-chain orders prior to the full scheme start, anticipated in
March 2022, subject to full budget approval at February Council. In
the event of being unable to enter into contract as planned, the
council has agreed a cashflow spend of £1.1m for specific
interim workstreams and termination costs. The LLOI overall is
capped at £3.9m until March 2022, for the contractor as a
FTSE100 company to comply under General Sox compliance and
auditing.
