Decision Maker: Director of Finance
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
That the Mayfield
Relocation project budget be increased from £70,000 to
£100,000 from the ringfenced Higher Needs SEND capital
allocations, to enable the project to progress and capture
necessary condition works required for imminent occupation.
Reasons for the decision:
An additional
requirement of £20,000 for replacement of the current boiler
has been identified which is needed to enable the site to be
occupied in September. Additionally, to
maintain the project programme, a package of £10,000 enabling
works has been identified.
The project is deemed
to be strategically advantageous and satisfactorily compliant in
terms of feasibility and levels of risk to enable it to progress
with the increased scope of works.
Alternative options considered:
Approval of this
decision enables the project to progress within a controlled
process, minimising the pressures on the repairs and maintenance
budget and maximising the effective spend of the DfE capital
allocations.
Implementation:
This decision will be
implemented immediately.
