Decision

Lincolnshire County Council does not currently hold final costs, as some of the material costs have not been settled.

Final agreement on compensation events and actual defined costs can take over six months from the end of the financial year in the Council’s NEC4 term contract.

However, in terms of information Lincolnshire County Council does presently hold, the costs for job 5642448 at this time are £7,557.76.

Regarding questions 1c and 1d: Please see attached after photos for point c. Unfortunately, the only before photo was very zoomed in of some grass. Please also find attached plan of the bay areas for point d.

If you would like to see a copy of these attachments, please request them from CustomerInformationService@lincolnshire.gov.uk quoting the reference number 4073949.
