Issue details

To approve the appointment of Northern Powergrid to carry out underground service diversions for Phase 1 of the A61 works

To progress the Phase 1 scheme, it is necessary to appoint a number of utility companies to carry out the diversion of existing services and equipment affected by the highway works. Each company will require payment in advance, based on detailed C4 stage estimates, in order to get them to commit to the works and enable the main contractor to programme and coordinate their individual on-site activities.

These services are proprietary, and no alternative provider can carry them out.

The costs are refundable should the scheme not proceed.

SMT previously approved a sum of £65,954.00 for Northern Powergrid in April 2022 but this figure excluded any builders’ work which comprises all the trenching, ducting and the like.

Northern Powergrid have therefore now provided a revised C4 estimate for the complete works in the sum of £130,962.00.
