Decision details

(i)        That in respect of the York Outer Rind Road Junctions Improvement Programme – Phase 1 the Investment Committee recommends to the Combined Authority that:

(a)       That the change request to the YORR Phase 1 (A1237 – B1224 Wetherby Road Junction upgrade) to approve the additional expenditure for encountered issues on site during the construction phase be approved. This is subject to the Combined Authority’s Programme Appraisal Team’s acceptance of revised scheme cost estimates, showing the re-profiled risk and contingency budgets.

(b)       That the total cost of Phase 1 of the YORR scheme is increased to £4.054 million from £3.599 million, with the additional costs of £266,581 being met through the existing programme budget of £38.276 million.

(c)       That the Combined Authority enters into an addendum to the existing funding agreement with City of York Council for additional total approved expenditure of up to £266,581 from the West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund.

(d)       That future approvals are made in accordance with the approval pathway and approval route outlined in this report following a recommendation by the Combined Authority’s Programme Appraisal Team. This will be subject to the scheme remaining within the tolerances outlined in this report.
