QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne
To ask the Chief Executive what type of monitoring goes on to see if contractors are fulfilling their obligations in the Social Clause under the Council's corporate procurement plan?
REPLY:
Social employment clause provisions form part of the contracts for two library construction projects and two housing development projects:
- North Clondalkin Library
- Castletymon Library
- Kilcarbery Housing Development
- Killinarden Housing Development
With regards to the Library Construction Contracts the contractor is requested to produce a report summarising the total hours worked each week in respect of the overall workforce, the total hours worked in respect of relevant workers under the social employment clause and the resulting % of hours worked per week under the social employment clause.
With regards to the Housing Development Contracts, Kilcarbery commenced on site on the 12th of April 2021 and the contractor will be providing periodic reporting in respect of the social clause set out in the Development Agreement. Killinarden is still at tender stage.
