4 November 2020 Dear Connétable
Government Plan 2021 - Written Questions
Thank you for your letter dated 20 October 2020, regarding Central Services Property Refurbishment at Five Oaks. I respond with the below:
- The project is currently on track following a revised timeline that was implemented in Q3, due to the impact of Covid-19. Tenders were returned 16th October 2020. Tender review and procurement underway. £190k spent to date with a year-end forecast spend of £950k. The original programmed completion date of December 2021 is still available following detailed design and delivery reviews.
- 2021 request for funding is to ensure the project can be completed. Elements of the £2,550,000 include:
- Professional Fees @£254k
- Statutory Fees @£57k
- Boilers @£1.3m
- Fire Alarm improvements @£85k
- BMS improvements @£87k
- Steel Frame to new plant room @£148k
- Main Contractor Works @£350k
- Contingency @£215k
- Funding for 2020 originally requested £2,000,000, however, with the unfortunate events of the Covid 19 pandemic, there was industry-wide impact on service output and our procurement to contract was delayed. The request to change funding is to suit the reworking of programme delivery. The total cost (3.5m) is unchanged and the design team have managed to mitigate delay in overall programme delivery.
- Yes
- The project team has followed GoJ procurement processes to ensure that this project achieves value for money. The design team has also worked to maximise the use of the space available, to improve operational adjacencies and have specified materials already used across HCS, thus available in the local market. The replacement and upgrade of the mechanical and electrical services (M&E) is required as they have reached the end of their lifecycle; the replacement will improve the operational and maintenance running costs of the M&E services. This project will support the existing hospital and the new hospital when available in delivering critical frontline support services.
Yours sincerely
