WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY J.A. MARTIN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2012
Question
Would the Minister provide a detailed analysis of the allocated budget and proposed costs relating to the provision of new accommodation for the States of Jersey Police (this should include the construction of a new Police HQ at Green Street Car Park, together with any other facilities being provided)?
Answer
The project has a budget of £21.07m, which is to be funded through the following allocations:
Unspent Project Budget | £19,070,000 |
Allocation 2013 | £1,000,000 |
Allocation 2014 | £1,000,000 |
Total Funding available: | £21,070,000 |
The latest cost estimate at December 2011 prices is set out below:
Item | Estimated cost |
Construction costs (including externals and contingency) | £17,465,315 |
Professional and other fees | £2,300,000 |
Client Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment | £647,000 |
Set up of off-site archive & garage | £30,000 |
Migration | £25,000 |
Contribution to Eastern Cycle Track (planning) | £25,000 |
Total estimated costs @ Dec 2011 | £20,492,315 |
Whilst there is an appropriate sum for contingency within the construction figure, it is important that further provision is made for other client contingency (e.g. design issues) and the effects of inflation on the completion of the project. It is considered prudent to set aside £500,000 for client contingency and the project Quantity Surveyor has advised that a provision for inflation to completion should be £1,150,000.
Including this contingency results in the estimated costs exceeding the allocated budget. In design terms the project is still at an early stage, so after the planning decision the Project Team will tackle any cost issues through detailed design and value engineering, the procurement process and reviewing levels of contingency.
Although not part of the provision of a new Police HQ, in conjunction with our TTS colleagues we will be assessing the provision of car parking in St. Helier .
