FINANCE COMMITTEE

Title: CNP ENTRY POINT DEVELOPMENT 

Prepared by: ANDY RINNING, HEAD OF CORPORATE SERVICES
 
Purpose 

To note the extension to the contract for additional development works for the CNP 
Entry Points project. 

Recommendations 

• That the Committee note the extension to this project. 

Executive Summary 

Original proposals for Entry Point Signage were considered by the Board on 2 July. 
Board members agreed to endorse the general principles that had been developed 
in Phase 1 subject to including two additional principles: 

• The development on an effective maintenance regime is an integral part of the 
project; and 

• The choice of materials to be used and the financial management of the 
project should not expose the CNPA to a high level of risk. 
 
APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURE ON CNP ENTRY POINT 
DEVELOPMENT 

Discussion 

1. This is work researching Gateway sign materials, supplier selection and 
project management for the initial prototyping in line with the request by the 
Board for further work to be carried out. 

2. The contract for this additional work has been awarded to Aaron Lawton, the 
contractor who carried out work on the initial phase and therefore has 
knowledge of the project. The quality of his work to date has been very high. 

3. The value of this additional work is £12k and funds have been allocated for 
this work in the Operational Plan.
