Key Points: Flowerbank Nursery / Sir Alexander Fleming Centre The roofing and render works are now completed, with internal works on-going. The previous issues noted with the structural integrity of the existing frame have caused a delay but it is anticipated that the facility will be available from August 2014. Loudoun Academy Leisure Centre All works have been completed with the exception of some minor snagging. The costs associated with unavoidable and unforeseen problems on-site such as the existing building foundations, steelwork reinforcement and the removal of more areas of asbestos than previously anticipated are currently being assessed in consultation with the main contractor. It is anticipated that these additional costs cannot be contained within the overall budget allocation resulting in a potential overspend of up to £0.250m. Galston Office Facilities Work is on-going to develop the proposals for the refurbishment of the Council offices and former Chambers at 11 Cross Street. However, following a structural survey the building had to be closed temporarily to allow remedial works to be undertaken. As a result further consideration is being given to options for refurbishing the building, including façade retention if this represents value for money over alternative proposals. Onthank Primary School All modular units have been delivered and assembled. The remainder of works both internal and external are currently on-going. It is currently anticipated that the building will be handed over at the end July, with the demolition of the building which this replaces starting mid-July with the works being full completed by September. Dunlop Primary School (Phase 2) The planning application has now been approved, building warrant is due to be submitted shortly. Detailed design works have been completed and the tender documents have been issued. It is currently anticipated that works will commence on site during the summer holidays with completion of all works on a phased basis by September 2014. It should be noted that given the extent of works required an exceptional closure of the Early Years may be required and / or the incorporation of temporary dining facilities should this be required. Hurlford Primary School Detailed design work is nearing completion however works have been delayed due to changes required to accommodate planning requirements. It is currently anticipated that planning approval will be granted in June 2014, with works starting on site July 2014 with completion by Devember 2014. Early indications are that overall costs may exceed the original budget allocation; primarily as a result of additional works required to existing school toilets and the extent of mechanical and electrical alterations for the new accommodation. Kilmarnock Secondary School The New Project Request (NPR) was agreed by Cabinet on 5 March 2014. The Council has completed the initial Key Stage Review with SFT and the NPR has now been formally accepted by hub South West. Keir Construction has subsequently been selected as the main contracting partner with design development being undertaken by Archial Norr. Design development / consultation with stakeholders has commenced. 1
