HONG KONG: FUTURE CONSULATE-GENERAL STEERING COMMITTEE NEXT MEETING 6 NOVEMBER
167
1.
You have kindly agreed to chair a meeting of the Steering Committee which has been scheduled for 1500 on Friday, 6 November in the Indian Office Chamber. At this meeting the OED Design team will report on the current state of the design, following consultations in Hong Kong with Mr Day's Hong Kong Consultative Committee and subsequent discussions with the architects, Farrells. I attach the following documents;
A: an annotated Agenda
B: a copy of the visit report (including records of the
meetings in Hong Kong of 12 and 14 October)
and
C: a note by Alex Smith, OED, summarising the effects of these discussions on the schedule of requirements (SOR).
NB: The one proposal by the Consultative Committee which has not been incorporated in the proposed revisions, pending consideration at our meeting, is that for an additional 30 car parking spaces.
2.
We expect to receive early next week revised copies of the Preliminary Sketch Plans (PSPs) for the building and rough costings of an additional 30 car parking spaces. I will circulate these as soon as we have them.
3.
I suggest that the Steering Committee be asked to:
(i) consider the Coordinating Committee's request for
an additional 30 car parking spaces;
(ii) endorse the proposed changes for incorporation into a revised SOR; and

(iii)
that:-
approve the Preliminary Sketch Plans in order
(a) Farrells may be instructed to proceed with the next stage-"Final Sketch Design Scheme"; and
(b) OED can instruct the quantity surveyor (QS) to produce costings based on the preliminary sketch plans.
Members will, in effect, be asked to agree that the overall design is satisfactory and broadly meets our requirements. After this meeting it will still be possible to make minor detail (eg partition type) changes, but members should regard this as the point at which any outstanding major concerns should be settled. Once Farrells have been given authority to proceed, any major alterations to the design will cost us money and cause delays to the programme.
4. When the QS has produced the costings, a further meeting of the Steering Committee will be necessary to consider the design in the light of costs, and to recommend it for ministerial approval to go forward as a firm PES bid, (members will recall that there is a firm commitment in the PES capital programme based on our estimate of construction costs. This will need to be replaced by a firm costing).
