Decision details

Structural survey was carried out and any urgent areas addressed. Further works have been specified and priced to allow completion over the school summer holidays.
A Structural condition survey was undertaken in autumn 2023 for Nova Primary School and a report produced (15 November 2023) highlighting spalling concrete in the building which needed to be addressed within the next 3 - 12months. As Bristol City Council do not have the in-house expertise to specify remediation works, the aim was to let a consultancy contract via Constellia to then tender the works element. However due to unforeseen delays it has taken Constellia longer than anticipated to appoint a Structural Engineer to support the project. Kendal King Scott were appointed by Constellia in mid-April and confirmed production of specification by end May. However, as these works can only be undertaken during the summer holidays when the school is vacant to pupils the contract needs to commence 23rd July 2024.

Approval to commission Newgate Construction to carry out structural repair works to Nova Primary School, Barracks Lane, Shirehampton, Bristol, BS1 9NG.
