Decision details
Construction of North Magazine Civil Works, Hereford Enterprise Zone (Contract Variation)
Decision Maker: Director of Economy and Place (Historic)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The construction phase at the North Magazine
commenced in January 2021 following significant remediation,
masterplanning and detailed design work which took place in
previous years. Work includes the installation of the estate roads,
utility trenches, SUDS, foul drainage, plot raising / earthworks,
walkways / cycleways and landscaping features. The work will see
the North Magazine sub-divided into a number of smaller plots in
line with identified investor interest.
Owen Pell Ltd were appointed following an open tender exercise
which was carried out via the pro contract system, and evaluated
against both cost and quality.
The additional works are an extension of existing activities
contained within the initial tender brief (e.g – extension to
estate roads; foul drainage). The use of a separate contractor
would be highly impractical and inevitably incur
additional/duplicate preliminaries, mobilisation and site set up
costs. There would also be additional health and safety / project
management implications to consider, in attempting to manage /
coordinate two contractors within a limited working space.
