Decisions:

While considering the report relating to the 2018 to 2020 Highways Capital Programme, the meeting thanked the Highways Team for their excellent work in ensuring that the Borough’s roads were kept in good condition during the snow during the previous weekend.

 

RESOLVED:-

 

(i)        that the reprioritisation of the current approved capital investment programme, as set out in Section 7 of the report now submitted, be approved;

 

(ii)       that the detailed Highways Capital Programme for 2018/19 and 2019/20 as set out in Appendices 1 and 2 be approved, and that the Service Director Environment and Transport be authorised to implement these schemes;

 

(iii)      that the Service Director Environment and Transport be authorised, in conjunction with the Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, to vary the programmes within the overall funding envelope;

 

(iv)      that the Service Director Environment and Transport be authorised to:

 

·         obtain tenders for any works as necessary, and appoint the successful tenderer on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender;

 

·         adopt the Highways Maintenance Efficiency Programme (HMEP) principle of collaboration and utilise collaborative procurement to engage external consultants to undertake work which cannot be undertaken in-house or secure the services of contractors or consultants via Regional Alliances where available; and

 

·         appoint other external consultants and contractors as appropriate, within the current procurement rules; and

 

(v)       that, in the event that the Maintenance budget and Integrated Transport budget for the 2018/19 and/or 2019/20 is not fully expended, the value of any other works be re-phased between financial years, which allows the flexibility to ensure that the available resources are deployed in the most efficient manner possible, whilst maintaining the continuity of the Highways, Environment and Transport (HET) Service.
