West Kirby Flood Alleviation - Variation of Construction Phase Contract and Acceptance of Flood Defence Grant Funding
This report seeks the approval of the Director of Finance and Section 151 Officer to disburse grant in aid (GiA) of £3m from the Environment Agency (EA) towards the West Kirby Flood Alleviation Project and to approve the necessary purchase orders to vary the council’s construction contract with Volkerstevin Ltd up to a maximum value of £17,273,533. The recommendations require an urgent decision under Section 4 of the Constitution as a matter outside of the council’s budget policy framework, because there is an urgent need to make immediate contractual payments.
