Decision details
Hammersmith Bridge - Essential Work Leading to Strengthening and Restoration Project
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
It is important that progress is maintained
for the full re-opening of the Bridge to all motorised traffic (in
line with the Strategic Transport aspirations of the Department of
Transport, Transport for London and LBHF). In this regard, there
are essential works on the concept design and technical ground
investigations that need to be completed during the year whilst the
stabilisation works are progressing. This will ensure that the
future project to strengthen and restore the Bridge can be
undertaken with greater expediency, effectiveness and minimisation
of technical risks.
Decision:
1. To approve a new capital budget of up to £3.5m in 2022/23 to progress concept design and associated works leading to the strengthening and restoration works to be initially funded by Council borrowing (increase to the Capital Financing Requirement).
2. To approve the procurement approach set out in paragraph 4 given the specialist nature of the works.
3. To approve the appointment of the preferred technical experts to complete the work for the amounts set out in paragraph 4, subject to a client held contingency being used where required.
