Purpose

Bristol City Council (BCC) is proposing to
construct the Bristol Regional Cycling Hub (BRCH) in Lawrence
Weston and Shirehampton, Bristol.
BCC has appointed a professional services firm, AECOM, to support
project development activities for multiple scope areas/work
packages - Soil Investigation/Geotechnical Survey

Approval of these expenditures will enable
completion of project development activities and is in line with
key decision of the Transport and Connectivity Committee on 12
September 2024.

Alternative options considered

There is no alternative for these
expenditures, and they cannot be delayed because the CRSTS spending
deadline is March 2027 by which time this project needs to be
delivered. If this request is not approved, the facility will not
be delivered.
