Summary of Decision

The Executive Director for Regeneration, Economy and Planning has approved the variation to the contract sum of £863,378 to include Contract Variations (£346,838), the Hub works (£516,540), an additional Sectional Completion and reduced Liquidated Damages Holiday. This is to be made by way of Deed of Variation in the sum of £863,378.

Reasons for Decision

Including the hub works within the main contract provides the most efficient programme for undertaking these works and minimises the potential for abortive works. Entering into a Deed of Variation and incorporating a new sectional completion for the hub works, formalises the completion date for the hub works in the contract. The reduction in the Liquidated Damages holiday provides greater certainty on the 31 October practical completion date.
