Additional costs for Jacobs as NEC PM team for Harbour Walkway
Decision Maker: Director: Economy of Place
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
Jacobs, via Perfect Circle, have provided the
NEC Project Management and Supervision team for the Harbour Walkway
project since 2018. Because of the delays caused by the recent
harbour bank failure and other delays encountered as part of the
construction, further funding is required to pay for their time
between June 2024 and January 2025. Their costs from February 2025
are covered in a separate Committee report to 6 February Transport
and Connectivity Committee.
Decision:
To accept Perfect Circle compensation event
3821-002 CE002 and permit an order to be raised for
£143,987.23.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - The only alternative option would
be not to retain Jacobs’s services and not deliver the
Harbour Walkway project that is a live construction site in a
marine environment that no BCC staff would be qualified to take on,
and to change consultancy at this stage would ultimately cost more
money.
