The reason for this report is to request
approval to procure and award a contract for the
installation of a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) at Arundel Street
Park in accordance with the
Council’s Contract Procedure Rules.
The MUGA which needs to be installed has already been purchased and
supplied by IAE.
As a result of the topography of the site, there are extensive
leveling works that need to take
place prior to the installation, the levels on site need to be
lifted significantly to make this a
usable MUGA space. This will be done by introducing a flag on edge
curb.
Arundel street park currently has a Striker Goal end with football
goal and basketball hoop. By
installing sides and a mirrored end, this will enable matches to
take place and improve the
current play offer in the area.
The required installation work will be funded by the Big Local and
a LIF bid from Oldham
Council.
RESOLVED - That:To approve the procurement and
award a contract to install a MUGA (striker Goal end and
sides) together with required infrastructure changes at Arundel
Street Park in accordance with
Contract Procedure Rules to significantly improve the play value of
the site. This work links into
the corporate agendas set by Oldham council of Healthy, Safe and
Well Supported Residents
and a Clean and Green Future. This will also help us support
Elected Members in improving
their wards

Option 2 - To not procure the installation of a MUGA with
associated groundworks at Arundel Street Park.
The MUGA goal and sides have already been purchased, and this would
mean that the MUGA
would go to waste if not installed at the site. This could mean the
loss of the rest of the Funding
from the Big Local.
