Decision details

To obtain authority to enter into a contract for Wharf Road Multi Storey Car Park, Grantham Remedial Works - Phase II

Decision

That Cabinet:

1.    Approve the award of a contract to Rio Asphalt & Paving Co Ltd for a value of £298,948.12 exclusive of VAT for essential resurfacing of Level Four of Wharf Road Multi-Storey Car Park Grantham.

2.    Delegate authority to the Deputy Chief Executive and Section 151 Officer and the Cabinet Member for Property to award a further contract for general repair works to all levels of the Wharf Road Multi-Storey Car Park Grantham.

Reasons for the decision

The structure of the car park was deteriorating as evidenced by corrosion of the concrete plank structural fixings below Level 3. Resurfacing with mastic asphalt to Level 3 would prevent water ingress and the existing corrosion would be treated to prevent further deterioration.

Other options considered

Delaying the works further would have meant the car park surface and underlying concrete framed structure would further deteriorate leading to much higher costs in the future.
