Major Projects Status Report

Report of the Director of Property, Business and Regulatory Services

 

How the conclusion in this report fits with the Corporate Strategy

This scheme will impact on the delivery of the following Corporate Aims

Aim 1 - maximising life opportunities - by providing new and/or improved teaching accommodation to be enjoyed by the schools.

Aim 5 - improving services - by providing good quality buildings that enable service delivery.

1. Summary

1.1 This report seeks approval to the addition of funding to major capital projects, at pre contract stage, following the approval of the design project appraisal by the Executive Members' Education and Policy and Resources.

1.2 Appendix 3 shows those capital projects for which an allocation has been made in the Education Capital Programme and where the Director of Property, Business and Regulatory Services is either, or will shortly be, progressing feasibility work for these projects.

2. Completed Schemes

2.1 Since the July 2005 meeting of the Executive Member - Education, schemes at the following schools have been completed and the new accommodation handed over to the Children's Services Department. These schemes remain financially on target:

    SCHOOL COMPLETION DATE

                      Bursledon CE (C) Infant September 2005

                      Droxford Junior School August 2005

                      Wherweel Primary School September 2005

3. Additional Works and Funding Added Post Contract

3.1 The following schemes have had further funding added to the contract for specific additional works.

3.2 The Neville Lovett Community School, Fareham

      Additional funding of £37,642, excluding fees, has been added to the major contract currently on site at this school. The funding has come from the Policy and Resources NDS Condition Fund 05/06 for the replacement of a failed screed floor, re-routing of an electrical cable and the provision and installation of fire curtains in ceiling voids. The scheme commenced on site during early January 2005 and was due to complete in early August, however, due to these additional works and poor contractor performance, the contract will now complete during late October 2005.

3.3 Wherwell Primary School, Andover

      The Executive Member may recall in the March and June 2005 Major Projects Status report details of the discovery of bat roosts at this school during the construction period which caused a delay in the works. The financial impact of this delay has now been resolved and proposals in the Capital Programme Issues report elsewhere on this agenda recommended that additional funding of £71,000, excluding fees, be made from the Education capital programme contingency to meet the additional costs associated with the discovery of bat roosts and the subsequent delay in the building works.

4. Additional Works and Funding added at Pre Contract Stage

4.1 Appendix 1 and 2 provides detailed information for all current capital projects at their varying stages. Included are those at pre contract stage, where additional funding has been added since the approval of the design project appraisal by the Executive Members' Education and Policy and Resources.

4.2 Additional funding has come from various sources including increased Education Capital Programme allocations and inflation and tolerance adjustments; additional school funding for specific additional requested works and Policy and Resources budgets for additional Landlord maintenance items which can easily be included within the overall scheme.

5. Current Position

5.1 This section gives the summarised position of the major projects, which have already been approved by the Executive Members for Policy and Resources and Education. Those schemes with works on site are reported as being financially on target unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this report.

5.2 Alton Community Infant School

      A scheme at the above school to provide a three classroom extension, staff room and link corridor commenced on site in December 2004 and was due for completion during September 2005. The new accommodation was scheduled for completion during September 2005 and the school will have use of the building, however, a delay in the overall works has resulted in the demolition and landscaping works to be completed during early November 2005.

5.3 Lantern's Children's Centre, Winchester

      A major project to provide a new Early Years Centre in Winchester commenced on site during July 2004. The work was due to complete during August 2005, however, due to unforeseen service relocation works at the main site entrance and the impact of poor performance by a key sub-contractor, the work was completed during September 2005.

5.4 Nightingale Primary School, Eastleigh

    A major project at this school to provide permanent teaching accommodation to replace temporary classrooms and to provide a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) was due to complete during November 2005. The new teaching accommodation element of the scheme is progressing well and the new accommodation will be available, on schedule, in early November 2005.

    Due to the location of the temporary buildings on site and the earliest date for their removal is anticipated to be December 2005 following the decant of pupils to the new teaching accommodation, it is proposed to undertake the work to provide a MUGA during the Easter 2006 period. This course of action provides an opportunity to undertake these works at a time of year when the weather is more favourable and which is appropriate for the schools operations.

Conclusion

    The details of the major capital projects outlined in this report will provide greatly enhanced school accommodation and facilities.

Recommendations

1. That the position of the major projects being undertaken by the Director of Property, Business and Regulatory Services be noted.

2. That the additional funding added to the major capital projects at pre contract stage, previously approved by the Executive Members' Education and Policy and Resources at design project appraisal stage, be approved.
