Decisions

RESOLVED

That:

     I)        a new commuter tariff for the BT Car Park be introduced; and

    II)        The charging hours be changed to start earlier in the morning from the current 10am-5pm to 6am-5pm.

Reasons for Recommendations

The reasons for recommending these changes are:

     I)        Required to meet the agreed Medium Term Financial Strategy;

    II)        To maximise the use of this car park;

  III)        Address shortfalls in commuter parking availability within the close vicinity of the train station.

RESOLVED

That:

i)          The draft Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy 2020 – 2030 be approved; and

ii)         The principle of the Council joining a collaboration with West Sussex County Council to install a County wide network of charge points be approved.

Reasons for Recommendations

i)          To provide a framework for installing Electric Vehicle charge points across the District to support the take up of Electric Vehicles which in turn will contribute to reduction in carbon emissions, improvement in air quality and support the local economy.

ii)         Collaboration with West Sussex County Council would give access to a contract to install electric vehicle charge points on District Council owned land.

RESOLVED

That:

i)          The use of the Print Framework Agreement set up on behalf of the Council by its Shared Procurement Service be approved; and.

ii)         The use of the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) be established on behalf of the Council by its Shared Procurement Service.

Reasons for Recommendations

i)          Following a competitive tender exercise and evaluation undertaken by Crawley Borough Council as the lead authority, the providers on the framework agreement have submitted the most economically advantageous tenders in the four lots.

·         General print work – low volumes (lot 1a) – 4 suppliers

·         General print work – high volumes (lot 1b) – 4 suppliers

·         General signage (lot 2) – 3 suppliers

·         Envelopes (lot 3) – 2 suppliers

ii)         The creation and use of the DPS will invite the councils to invite quotes on the more complex printing jobs and will therefore obtain best value
