Minutes:
Councillor
Brian Jones presented the confidential report seeking Cabinet approval to
undertake the proposed tendering exercise to identify a main contractor to
deliver Phase 1 / Enabling Works Contract for the expansion of the Colomendy Industrial
Estate in Denbigh, including Construction of a Waste Transfer Station (WTS).
Details
of the proposed tender exercise had been set out within the report together
with the outline timescales and anticipated contract value, including how it
related to the proposed WTS (Plot 1) and enabling works to be delivered (Plots
2 – 5). Reference was made to the
ongoing collaborative working on expansion of the site and delivery of the
contract going forward for development.
The opportunities for businesses and economic growth arising from the
expansion were also acknowledged. The
council was leading on the tendering exercise due to the interdependencies
between the plots across the overall site.
Assurances were provided that the project had regard to climate change
and biodiversity elements including protection of habitats, reducing the number
of vehicle journeys for waste collection and installation of EV charging
points, and consideration had also been given to hydrogen technologies in the
future.
Councillor
Mark Young welcomed the collaborative working and benefits it would bring and
he was also keen to ensure local companies had the opportunity to bid. Assurances were provided in that regard and
there was anticipated local interest in the tender with a clear preference to
engage with local businesses where possible within the contract procedure
rules. The contract would also provide
for community benefit and local investment to further support that aim. In response to further questions officers
confirmed that the cost associated with the tender would be solely officer time
given that the tender was issued via Sell2Wales which was a web based
tool. In view of the potential works
value OJEU timescales would apply and the contract award would be subject to a
further report to Cabinet.
RESOLVED that Cabinet –
(a) grant approval to undertake the proposed
tendering exercise, and
(b) note that a further report will be
brought back to Cabinet (via the Strategic Investment Group) for approval of
the subsequent Contract Award following the tendering exercise, which will also
confirm contract management arrangements, tendered costs and contract details.
