SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 22, 2018

QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor D. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update report on the new swimming pool in Lucan and for this report to include an update on the tender process, when the project will start construction, is all the funding in place for the project and when will the construction will be complete?"

REPLY:

A shortlist of suitable contractors has been formed. The Design Team are finalising the tender documentation and we expect the tender documents to be ready for issue in the coming weeks. Once tender documents are issued, it will take a minimum of six weeks for the final tender to be returned. At that stage a request for approval to appoint the contractor will be submitted to DTTaS.

Funding has been identified in the 3 year Capital Programme. The majority of the funding is coming from the Council’s own capital resources with the balance through a DTTaS grant which has preliminary approval.

The project will take circa 18 months to complete and fit out ready for operation by the end of 2019.
