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
With regards to the proposed States of Jersey Police HQ at the Green Street car park site, would the Minister confirm the following details of the scheme –
- the number of storeys;
- the gross internal area (by storey) in square metres and also square feet ;
- the estimated cost (per square metre and square foot);
- the number of personnel that the building is anticipated to cater for;
- the number of operational vehicles that will be parked on-site, and in other localities (please specify); and,
- the estimated number of visitors (monthly and annually)?
Answer
- The building comprises basement, ground, first, second and third floors together with a small element of accommodation at fourth floor level. Overall the building presents four and a half storeys above La Route du Fort.
- Gross internal floor areas are as follows:- Basement parking 1,201 sq m (12,927 sq ft) Basement 441 sq m (4,747 sq ft) Ground 915 sq m (9,849 sq ft) First 1,480 sq m (15,931 sq ft) Second 1,480 sq m (15,931 sq ft) Third 1,251 sq m (13,466 sq ft) Fourth 390 sq m (4,198 sq ft) Total 7,158 sq m (77,049 sq ft)
- In terms of the construction cost, including contingency, external works and services, the project Quantity Surveyor has estimated the overall cost per square metre as £2,439.93 (£226.67 per sq ft). The project Quantity Surveyor has also provided the following breakdown of estimated costs per square metre (per square ft) for some specific areas: Basement areas: £1,059.07 (£98.39)
Office areas: £2,411.21 (£224.01)
Custody suite: £3,422.95 (£318.00)
- The building will cater for 330 people spread over a flexible shift pattern, which means that the maximum number of staff present at any one time would be 220.
- The number of operational vehicles parked on site will be 45 (39 cars and 6 police motorcycles). It has always been planned that 3 larger specialist support vehicles would be kept off site at a States–owned site at La Collette.
- Based on historical information, the number of visitors to the new Police HQ is estimated as:
Monthly - 2,400
Annually - 28,800
These figures include all visitors to police HQ, including members of the public and those on official business, such as lawyers and Centeniers. Visits to the police station are generally distributed through the day, with most visits outside peak periods. The Transport assessment identifies that peak period visits by car will be insignificant' at below 10 per hour. Members of the public will have limited access to onsite parking while those on official business will have access to basement parking.
