Ratification of urgent decision - approval of developed design and procurement of project construction for Hobsonville Headquarters building |
|
Resolution number UH/2017/10 MOVED by Member B Neeson, seconded by Member U Balouch: That the Upper Harbour Local Board: a) receive for information the memo from the Senior Advisor Community Places dated 19 December 2016, regarding use of the urgent decision process established by resolution number UH/2016/159, which seeks approval of developed design and procurement of project construction for the Hobsonville Headquarters building. b) note that use of the urgent decision process was approved by the Relationship Manager, Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson in accordance with the provisions outlined in resolution number UH/2016/159 for the following reasons: i) the construction market is extremely volatile at present, resulting in cost escalations; and that early approval to progress the Headquarters redevelopment project to the next phase and begin the procurement process would help limit the potential for project cost overruns. ii) beginning the procurement process early would limit project time delays and the subsequent impact on completion dates. iii) procurement processes are currently taking longer as contractors seek to build in contingencies, requiring longer negotiation of contracts with potential impact upon start and completion dates; therefore starting procurement early would ensure project delays are minimised. |
