Your Request:

This is a new request following your reply to 2022/6861. I understand that in late November 2022 and again in December 2022 Stephanie Pascal invited bids for survey work to be done on Goulden House in accordance with the recommendations of a report commissioned by the Goulden House Cooperative in 2022. Please provide copies of the documents sent to potential bidders for this work?

Our Response:

Please see below and attached and note that flat numbers have been redacted under Section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as disclosure would breach the individuals' privacy. Disclosure of personal information where it would compromise an individual's privacy would breach one or more of the principles of the Data Protection Act.

The following was sent out to potential bidders;

We have a structural issue at the above-mentioned address and need to instruct an intrusive structural survey.

The design of the building, which exposes the edges of the concrete slabs and columns, may be a contributing factor to the deterioration of the concrete and we must assess if the damage is repairable and the method of repair.

A visual survey was conducted in May of this year which I have attached and we need to capture the issues raised within.

Dependent on the findings, recommendations and severity following the report we will commission repairs however the estimated cost of the intrusive survey alone will be at a value whereby we have to seek completive quotes at survey stage prior to any tendering.

The quote would need to allow for the following;

  • Mobilisation

  • Review of recorded information and undertake visual survey

  • Commission Intrusive survey specialist

  • Mobilisation of intrusive survey specialist

  • Intrusive survey undertaken by specialist

  • Laboratory analysis of samples by specialist

  • Intrusive survey reporting by specialist

  • Review of intrusive survey findings and production of report
