OD/23/64 Sheltered Scheme Roof Survey

Decision Maker: Officer Decision

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The Council employed Ridge LLP to survey all of the Council’s sheltered housing sites and homeless family accommodation as well as a sample of 3 and 4 storey general needs flat blocks. A total of 29 buildings were inspected.

 

This has resulted in a recommendation for an intrusive roof survey of a Sheltered Housing Scheme, as a precautionary measure.

 

The Council considers the survey urgent to enable confirmation that the roof structure remains safe and wishes to complete the work within the recommended two-week timescale.

Decision:

To exempt this appointment from Contract Standing Orders to award a

contract to Ridge LLP, to enable the intrusive roof survey at a Sheltered Scheme. This exemption is made under paragraph 3.10.2, as it is a matter of urgency. The total cost of this award should not exceed £8,500.

 

Reason:

Ridge LLP are familiar with the building and the survey results. There is an urgent need to appoint a company to complete the survey within two weeks.
