Decision No: D120015CAB
Date: 7th February 2012
Decision(s) and Reason(s)
Gibson Building West - Replacement Heating Boilers and Circulatory Pipe Work
Minutes
The report presented a Fast Track Capital Plan Evaluation relating to the replacement of Gibson West heating boilers and circulatory pipe work during the summer of 2012. Details were given of the outcome of the heating consultant's investigations, the four options identified and the Management Team's recommendations concerning the most appropriate way forward including a waiver under Contracts Procedure Rules.
The Cabinet resolved that:
(1) the Management Team's view be endorsed that the best way forward is to:-
(a) adopt Option 4 (replacement with centralised boilers and new pipe work through the under-croft creating a four zone heating system with modern controls serving Gibson Building West);
(b) acknowledge that although the principal requirement within the Building Regulations to improve the heating system has been met, further as yet un-costed works to improve the insulation of the fabric of the building may still be required;
(c) acknowledge that the proposed scheme for 2012 is the first phase of what may be an ongoing commitment to replacing other areas of pipe work and radiators depending on system reliability and funding available in future years; and
(2) the waiver approved under Contracts Procedure Rule 13.1 to allow the invitation of tenders from five companies selected from the KCC Approved List of Contractors be endorsed.
Reasons: As set out in the report of the Central Services Director.
