Updated Project Figures for Winton Memorial Hall

Record No:        R/16/2/1853

Author:                 Kevin McNaught, Strategic Manager Property

Approved by:       Ian Marshall, GM - Services and Assets

 

  Decision                             Recommendation                        Information

 

  

 

Background

1        The Board at its meeting in December 2015 resolved to proceed with the project scope at that stage at an estimates cost of $835,000.00 plus GST.

2        The tender contract and the unbudgeted expenditure for the project were approved by APAC and Council on 27 January 2016.

3       The Board at its project walkover on 1 February 2016 decided to put the kitchen upgrade back into the project which resulted in the overall cost increasing to $860,000.00 plus GST.

Decisions now required

4        As a result of the proposed project scope change, the Board must formally resolve this, as well as the funding.  A request must also be made to Council to increase the unbudgeted expenditure of the new scope.

5        Attached are the new project estimate and the funding budget.  The LTP estimate for the project was $450,000.00 with the new estimate of $860,000.00 meaning a total unbudgeted expenditure amount of $410,000.00.

6        The funding plan has been amended to take into account a more realistic level of contribution from grant funding.  The balance will come from the Winton Property Reserve.  The detail of these changes is shown in the attachment to this report.

 

 

Recommendation

That the Winton Community Board:

a)         Receives the report titled “Updated Project Figures for Winton Memorial Hall” dated 15 February 2016.

b)         Resolves to change the scope of  upgrade project to include an upgrade of the kitchen and to approve the new project budget estimate of $860,000.00 plus GST.

c)         Resolves to request Council to approve the new unbudgeted expenditure amount of $410,000.00 plus GST.
