Greater Manchester’s Clean Air Plan – Tackling Nitrogen Dioxide Exceedances at the Roadside – Contract arrangements for the Clean Air Zone Service
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Finance and Corporate Resources, Cabinet Member - Neighbourhoods
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
1.1Funding for the GM CAZ Service Agreement
has been secured via the initial tranche of £36m of funding
awarded by Government and written commitment from the
Government’s Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU) to provide the
required additional £12.1m with risk and contingency being
drawn down on an as needed basis. This funding will cover the GM
CAZ Service supplier costs, the TfGM and Local Authority costs and
other ‘third party’ costs required to successfully
deliver the GM CAZ Service element of the GM Clean Air Zone. JAQU
have been kept up to date with procurement activity and they are
aware of GM’s intention to enter into contract with Egis
Projects SA.
1.2In regards of operational costs, it is expected that revenue
generated from the daily charges and penalty notices will cover all
the operational costs. If the CAZ revenues are not sufficient over
the life of the CAZ to cover the operational costs, as agreed with
JAQU, the New Burdens Doctrine would cover any net deficit.
