WQ.46/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY K.M. WILSON OF ST. CLEMENT
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2024
Question
“Regarding the capital programme included in the Government Plan 2024-2027, will the Minister advise what changes, if any, are planned to the following projects; and provide details of any proposed changes -
- Mont à l’Abbé
- Sexual Assault Referral Centre
- Gas Place School
- Fire and Ambulance Headquarters
- Le Squez Youth Centre; and
will he confirm what stage of procurement each of the above schemes is at, when he expects work to start on these schemes, and if he has any further plans to enter into land purchases across the Island?”
Answer
- The requirements for the projects continue to evolve, with progress driven by the sponsoring departments:
- Mont à l’Abbé – going through stakeholder engagement process;
- Sexual Assault Referral Centre – no foreseen changes; Planning approval expected;
- Gas Place School – going through stakeholder engagement process;
- Fire and Ambulance Headquarters – waiting boundary line ministerial decision;
- Le Squez Youth Centre – going through stakeholder engagement process.
- These are the project stages for each of the identified projects. In some, the procurement strategy has yet to be determined or approved.
- Mont à l’Abbé – procurement strategy not yet defined – JPH Design Team – Stage 1 – Concept Brief Development
- Sexual Assault Referral Centre – procurement strategy approved – Design Team appointed and procurement route of open tender for construction – Stage 3 waiting for Planning Approval
- Gas Place School – Stage 1 – procurement strategy not yet defined – JPH Design Team - Concept Brief Development
- Fire and Ambulance Headquarters – procurement strategy not yet defined – external specialised Design Team – Stage 1 – Concept Brief Development
- Le Squez Youth Centre – procurement strategy not yet defined – JPH Design Team – Stage 1 – Concept Brief Development.
- Work on these projects is generally ongoing involving the drawing up of requirements, early stages of feasibility and design scope, albeit ground will be broken on site as below:
- Mont à l’Abbé – scheme works started – expected on site Q2/3 2025
- Sexual Assault Referral Centre – scheme works started – expected on site Q2 2024
- Gas Place School – scheme works started – expected on site Q2 2025
- Fire and Ambulance Headquarters – scheme works started – expected on site Q3 2025
- Le Squez Youth Centre – scheme works started – expected on site Q1 2025.
- The requirement of the government for operational space continues to develop with the evolving needs of the Island, advances in technology and the changing economy. There are no formal capital bids in for the procurement of any specific sites, however, I fully anticipate the procurement of land if requirements dictate.
