3. Who had the final sign off for the purchase order and on what date?

5. Who installed the Barriers?

 I can confirm that the following information is held by Lincolnshire County Council;

1. The barriers were part of a larger project for Sewstern Lane and the Drift, including barriers and surface reinstatement. Costs for these specific set of barriers are therefore not able to be drawn out from the wider scheme costs. The total cost for the entire scheme is £217,477.36

2.  The barriers and surfacing reinstatement works were arranged as part of the Council’s term maintenance contract and did not require a purchase order. The quotation document was issued to the sub-contractor on the 12 June 2024.  The K-Barriers were sourced as a direct award under an executive exception approval as the supplier is the only known manufacturer of these particular type of barriers.

3. The Purchase Order was approved by the Public Rights of Way and Access Manager on 25 July 2024

4. The barriers were manufactured through a sub-contractor of RSM Maintenance Ltd.

5. The works were arranged by Balfour Beatty as the Council’s term maintenance contractor, who sub-contracted the work to RSM Maintenance Ltd.
