WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. JOHN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11th DECEMBER 2012
Question
Will the Minister please advise the Assembly of the estimated cost of -
- the demolition of the existing Freight sheds, which contain Asbestos within their construction materials;
- the cost of the replacement Freight building;
- the cost of the associated aircraft hard standing and any taxiways associated with the relocated freight facility?
Furthermore, has planning permission been made for the relocation of the Freight facility prior to any signing of memorandums of understanding and or contracts with Hanger8?
Answer
- The design team is currently preparing a tender document and is fully aware of the asbestos content. The team will provide a pre-tender estimate in due course but in order not to compromise the tender process by any potential bidder this estimated amount will remain commercially confidential at this time.
- Similarly, so as not to compromise the tender process by potential bidders this amount will not yet be published. However, in line with all major capital project works at the Ports this construction cost will be publicised as part of our public communication
- There is no new concrete hard standing or taxiway planned as part of the relocated freight facility.
- Jersey Airport officials have been in discussion with planning officers as well as briefing the Minister for Planning and Environment on the initial concept designs. As a result, a planning application is likely to be submitted in the early part of 2013.
