Decision details

Decision Maker: Corporate Director (Economy and Place) & Deputy Chief Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

Crystal Electronics Ltd was appointed to carry out the necessary work, including the supply, delivery, installation, and certification of the LED installations according to the specification. It was agreed that existing LEDs would not be replaced. Nonetheless, the contractor has kindly identified additional savings through the introduction of 30 x PIRs in key locations where LED panels are already present. The PIRs will promote further savings by switching off lights when no movement is detected in the area.
As such, a decision has been brought forward to amend the current contract with Crystal Electronics Ltd to include these works.

Decision:

A) To proceed with the contract variation with Crystal Electronics Ltd to install a further 30 x PIR’s.

B) To agree the total cost for these works is £7,200, excluding VAT, with £3,200 being funded from the balance of the Sports Reserved account and £4,000 from the Sport and Leisure Revenue account to cover the required costs.

The Portfolio Holders for Leisure and Public Realm, the Environment and for Corporate Finance and Governance have been consulted, as appropriate, and all concur with this decision being made.

Alternative options considered:

Not to install and continue with increased utility costs.
