The Adur Cabinet Member for Environment and Leisure
abstained from the decision as it was predominantly a Worthing
matter.
 
The Worthing Cabinet
Member for Culture & Leisure approved the
following: 
 
That the Director for Place be authorised to execute
the Settlement agreement (set out in the exempt Appendix to this
report) to resolve outstanding issues under the JCT Design and
Build Contract between Worthing Borough Council and Morgan
Sindall.
 

Reasons for the decision

This is a long standing dispute that has been
resolved with an improved ground source heat pump that will reduce
the carbon use of the facility plus the cost of energy.  The
resolution of damp in the data/comms room is also part of this
agreement.

Alternative options considered

A lower
specification ground source heat pumpwould not have had the same benefits in
carbon and cost reduction.
