MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, May 16, 2018

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"To ask the Chief Executive to issue a report on the update for the North Clondalkin Library including timeframes and cost and where funding is coming from? Also to include details of mobile Library services for North Clondalkin?  Also what consultation will take place with residents prior to tender?" 

REPLY:

"North Clondalkin Library project is currently out to tender, via e-tenders to the seven short-listed contractors, with a closing date of 18th May 2018. We anticipate a start date on site of mid-August 2018. The construction period has been set at 18 months for the purpose of the tender, but we would hope that given the quality of the short-listed contractors this timeframe may be shortened. Funding for the project is coming from SDCC's Capital Programme 2018-2020 as well as grant-aid from the Department of Rural & Community Development. Details of the mobile library stops for the Clondalkin area are outlined in headed item (4) for this ACM. Consultation will take place with local residents in the near future to confirm that issues previously raised at meetings have been addressed in the tender. Details will also be outlined of arrangements proposed while construction of the library project is underway."
