(2)  That officers be authorised to appoint the design consultant and to present a project initiation document to the Cabinet at its meeting on 4 January 2019.

 

Decision:

RESOLVED

 

(1)  That £20,000 be released from capital reserves to fund the appointment of a civil engineering consultant to develop a costed design solution for a new vehicle wash facility and associated works at Westhampnett depot, subject to Southern Water’s confirmation that there is sufficient capacity to accept the additional flow.

 

(2)  That officers be authorised to appoint the design consultant and to present a project initiation document to the Cabinet at its meeting on 4 January 2019.

 

Minutes:

The Cabinet received and considered the agenda report.

 

This item was presented by Mr Barrow.

 

Mrs Dodsworth was in attendance for this matter.

 

Mr Barrow summarised sections 3, 4 and 5 of the report and emphasised the several benefits and opportunities this project would secure in terms of services and savings.           

 

Mrs Dodsworth did not add to Mr Barrow’s introduction but answered a member’s question about the cost of engaging a consultant civil engineer.

 

With Mr Dignum’s permission, Mr Oakley (Tangmere), who was present as an observer, sought and obtained confirmation from Mrs Dodsworth that prior to engaging the consultant CDC would ascertain from Southern Water that there would be sufficient foul water capacity in the existing system to take the additional flows from the proposed vehicle wash facility without the need for an upgrade (which would add to the cost of the project).

 

In the light of the foregoing, the Cabinet agreed that the recommendation in para 2.1 of the report should be amended to be made subject to Southern Water’s confirmation that there was sufficient capacity to accept the additional flow from the vehicle wash facility.

 

Decision

 

The Cabinet voted unanimously on a show of hands to make the resolutions below. 

 

RESOLVED

 

(1)  That £20,000 be released from capital reserves to fund the appointment of a civil engineering consultant to develop a costed design solution for a new vehicle wash facility and associated works at Westhampnett depot, subject to Southern Water’s confirmation that there is sufficient capacity to accept the additional flow.

 

(2)  That officers be authorised to appoint the design consultant and to present a project initiation document to the Cabinet at its meeting on 4 January 2019.
