Minutes:

Councillor Chris Bond (Cabinet Member for Environment) introduced the report of the Director – Environment (No.205) concerning proposals to undertake a programme of energy conservation works to corporate buildings and schools by utilising the provisions of the Mayor of London’s REFIT programme.

 

NOTED

 

1.         that Report No.208 also referred, as detailed in Minute No.29 below;

 

2.         that the Council had followed a competitive tendering exercise utilising the GLA REFIT Framework Contract;

 

3.         the total cost of works and the proposed increase in capital funding as set out in decision 3 below.

 

Alternative Options Considered: To use the Council’s existing repairs and maintenance programme to deliver energy savings. Work was underway to consider integration of Enfield’s REFIT project delivery within Architectural Services. To do nothing and to accept the cost of energy would rise and that the energy efficiency of buildings would deteriorate.

 

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed to

 

1.         approve the letting of works contracts with Johnson Controls as detailed in the part 2 report (Minute No.29 below refers) in order to undertake a programme of energy conservation measures to corporate buildings and schools as detailed in appendix one of the report;

 

2.         note that a contract would not be let for works to a school until that school had agreed to the works and the payback provisions to refund the costs;

 

3.         note that the total cost of works in the IGP was within the tender estimates based on desktop study. Professional fees and project management costs were now estimated to be £79k for this project. Cabinet was asked to approve an increase of capital funding of £68k in the capital programme to accommodate these costs, in the event that no alternative funding sources (for example, Salix) were available;

 

4.         note that this was a strategic sustainability project identified in the Enfield 2020 Action Plan.

 

Reason: The letting of works contracts to Johnson Controls through the GLA framework for this first phase of the REFIT programme delivers a number of opportunities as set out in section 6 of the report.
