Having considered a report that seeks approval for the acceptance of tender for the A580 East Lancs Road/A572 Newton Road Junction Improvement Scheme, Lowton, and after consulting the Cabinet Champion for Environment and Regeneration, I made the following Executive Decision:-
Under the Council’s scheme of delegation, approve acceptance of tender submitted by Wigan Council Highways DLO in the sum of £394,142.80 because it is within 5% of the lowest tender and would result in savings in inspection and supervision.
Since this is an Executive Key Decision, the decision will come into force, and may then be implemented, on the expiry of five working days after the publication of the decision, i.e. 10th December 2008, unless the Overview and Scrutiny Committee objects to it and calls it in.
Date of decision: 1st December 2008
Date of publication: 2nd December 2008
