The report by the Head of Property & Housing seeks permission to go out to tender and appoint a contractor to undertake planned maintenance works to 8 blocks of flats located within Hawthorn Crescent, Cosham. The works are required to ensure the safety and integrity of the buildings, reduce their on-going maintenance and improve the living environment for residents.

 

RECOMMENDED:

(1)  That approval be given to tender the works based on a budget estimate of £1 million, inclusive of fees.

 

(2)  That following a full tender evaluation authority to enter into contract with the preferred bidder is delegated to the Director of Property and Housing.

Decision:

(1)  Approval was given to tender the works based on a budget estimate of £1 million, inclusive of fees.

 

(2)  That following a full tender evaluation authority to enter into contract with the preferred bidder be delegated to the Director of Property and Housing.

Minutes:

Steve Groves, Asset Manager presented the report on behalf of the Head of Property and Housing which set out the £1 million investment in the refurbishment work to the 76 properties within eight blocks of flats at Hawthorn Crescent.  This would entail the removal of the rotten timber fins (which were large vertical slats) to be replaced with aluminium screening.  This would maintain the asset and eliminate a health and safety issue as well as improving the appearance of the properties.  There had been consultation with residents in March and they had had an input into the design.

 

Councillor Wemyss as Cabinet Member for Housing welcomed this report and thanked officers for this.

 

DECISIONS:

 

(1)  Approval was given to tender the works based on a budget estimate of £1 million, inclusive of fees.

 

(2)  That following a full tender evaluation authority to enter into contract with the preferred bidder be delegated to the Director of Property and Housing.
