Decision

1. 

Further to the forecast costs, I can provide you with a summary of what the fees, works and risk costs comprise below for each project – these costs are similar for each project:

 

Fees

The fees include:

  • Design fees of our design consultant who has completed Feasibility reports and detailed design for the traffic signals and civils required for the work;
  • Supervision fees for the works during construction;
  • Project management fees of the design and supervision stages of the project;

 

Works

The costs cover:

  • Surveys required for the design of the crossings: topographical surveys; Ground Penetration Radar survey and trial holes to review what services lie in the ground ahead of construction;
  • Civils construction costs for the removal of the old road surface and installation of new road surfacing at the pedestrian crossing;
  • Traffic signals construction costs for removal of the old signals equipment and installation of a new pedestrian crossing equipment.

 

Risk

The risk costs cover: inflation costs, discovering unknown services that were not shown on our records and bad weather events and impact on construction works.

 

Detailed breakdown of works costs/design fees

I cannot provide a detailed breakdown of items further e.g. construction costs from the contractor and designers as this information is commercially sensitive.

 

Please find below the summary of what these costs comprise.

 

Please note that these works costs are just forecasts at the moment as more developed prices are being processed by the contractor.
