Decisions:
Further to Minute No. 217, 5th March 2014, the Director of Environment and Housing submitted a report which sought approval to proceed with the redevelopment of the Kirkstall Road recycling site. The report highlighted how the proposed scheme would provide major enhancements to recycling facilities and services for residents in this area of the city, and which aimed to support a further increase in recycling performance.
The submitted report and the exempt appendix provided Members with details of 2 options: Option 1 included the development of a ‘re-use shop’ within the project, whilst Option 2 excluded it.
Members discussed the updated costings and the factors which had led them to be revised.
Following consideration of Appendix 1 to the submitted report, designated as exempt from publication under the provisions of Access to Information Procedure Rule 10.4(3), which was considered in private at the conclusion of the meeting, it was
RESOLVED –
(a) That the appointment of the preferred contractor, to complete the design and carry out construction of the proposed Kirkstall Road recycling site, in accordance with the details contained within the submitted exempt appendix 1 (i.e. Option 1 - including the development of a re-use shop), be approved;
(b) That a further injection into Capital Scheme No. 16169 of £943k, to be funded through a combination of additional unsupported borrowing and grant, be approved, giving a total approved budget of £5.243m;
(c) That authority to spend up to a total of £5.243m on the re-development of Kirkstall Road recycling site be approved;
(d) That the necessary authority be delegated to the Director of Environment and Housing in order to approve the completion of the contract award, and to take any necessary action associated with the contract and/or contract award.
