"The project team have been working with our structural engineers in recent months to finalise the specifics of the design of the radar tower and cabin. Following on from this work the Invitation To Tender (ITT) for the main works contract was issued on Friday 14 July, and our best estimate for the date for awarding the contract is mid-October.
As part of the tender process each potential contractor will provide us with their schedule for the works, including any ‘mobilisation’ period – we will therefore have a much better idea of project timelines once we have seen the ITT returns. Whilst we go through the ITT process we are using the time to progress site infrastructure works (mainly power and comms) so there may be some limited activity relating to this at the Anglian Water site later this summer and during the autumn.
We had previously indicated that the main works would be likely to start in the autumn of this year so I wanted to let the council know that although it’s still possible that the construction phase of the project would start late in 2023, it is now more realistic to assume that it will be in early in 2024. We will of course update you on likely start dates once we have evaluated the tender responses."
