ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION AND DECISION
4.4.24 To CONSIDER quotations for the completion of the pavilion project and appoint a new contractor
The Parish Council has received six quotations from different contractors who are able to complete the pavilion project. Due to the complexity of the work that remains time was taken to go through each quotation and ensure that all items are covered, particularly as some works are partly completed. Potential start dates and length of time for the build were also considered to try to work towards facilities being available for the new football season.
Following these discussions it was proposed, seconded and AGREED by a majority vote to accept the quotation from Method Construction. The quotation is within the remaining budget of section 106 monies.
5.4.24 To REVIEW the possible extra cost of lintels at the Town Hall and AGREE the new quotation
Investigative work has now been completed and the existing door lintels are too low due to the raised floor. New lintels are therefore required at a total cost of £1440 plus VAT to include making good the surrounding walls and new door linings and architrave.
It was proposed, seconded and AGREED to accept the above quotation and instruct the builder to continue with the works.
ITEMS FOR THE NEXT AGENDA
6.4.24 To NOTE any items for inclusion on the following meeting agenda.
There being no further business the meeting was closed at 8.20pm.
