Decision:
To appoint Trustheat Ltd to carry out an
accelerated programme of drying to flooded council properties to
facilitate the earliest return of residents to their homes, as
after 6 weeks of using traditional methods of drying (dehumidifiers
and fan heaters) flooded properties were still saturated, with
implications for residents and future maintenance of the affected
buildings. This process allowed for a 4-5 day drying
period.
Options Considered:
- Procuring work via tender
- Appointment
Options Rejected:
- Procuring work via tender - given specialist
nature of works it was critical that work could commence as soon as
possible. One other supplier was identified but their cost were
higher and they were based in the South – whereas Trustheat
were based in Leeds – which was better operationally and
meant they were not incurring high travel cost which would be
passed on to CYC.
