Award of a tender to a contractor for parapet
works at King Street Bridge
Approval for the tender award of the King
Street Footbridge Parapet and Painting Refurbishment Scheme and the
appointment of the Contractor for the works. Costs for the scheme
were obtained by framework tender, the Council’s procurement
process
Option 1 - The preferred option would be to
award the scheme of King Street Footbridge Parapet and Painting
Refurbishment Scheme to Bethell Construction Ltd. The
implementation of the scheme is essential to eliminate the risk of
vandalism, which leaves the footbridge unsafe for pedestrian use,
the footbridge is to be refurbished with the construction of a new
stainless steel parapet system.
Option 2 - The alternative would be not to proceed with the works,
which will leave the footbridge with temporary parapet fence which
is costly to maintain, and if not maintained will leave the
footbridge unsafe for pedestrian use
Option 2
Reason Key: Expenditure > £250,000 (Significant expenditure or savings);
Wards Affected: Alexandra; Coldhurst;
