Decision:
RESOLVED that Cabinet
approves the procurement strategy to appoint a main contractor for Phase 1 of
the Queens Buildings Rhyl development.
Minutes:
Councillors
Hugh Evans and Julian Thompson-Hill presented the joint report seeking Cabinet
approval of the procurement strategy to appoint a main contractor for Phase 1
of the Queens Buildings Rhyl development.
Some
background had been provided regarding the acquisition of the site and plans
for its redevelopment (over a number of phases/stages) which was considered
critical to the regeneration and future economic success of the area. Demolition of the site was progressing well
and the next stage required a procurement process to appoint a main contractor
for phase 1 of the development. The
estimated overall cost of delivering phase 1 amounted to just under £11m and
the report related to the procurement of the construction phase only with an
estimated contract value of £4m. Details
of the cost estimates had been included in the report together with the
estimated delivery timescales in order to meet grant funding deadlines. It was proposed to utilise Lot 3 of the North
Wales Construction Partnership and authorisation to commence the procurement
using that methodology was sought with a future report back to Cabinet for
final determination on an approved contractor.
Councillor
Meirick Davies reiterated the importance of preserving as much of the original
architecture/historical elements of the buildings as possible and the Leader
provided assurances in that regard with officers maintaining a watching brief.
RESOLVED that Cabinet
approves the procurement strategy to appoint a main contractor for Phase 1 of
the Queens Buildings Rhyl development.
