expected by 12th August.

with the 14T hammer expected to arrive 10th August to be used to drive the piles the rest of the way in.
Inpatient Building Update:
• The RCP Inpatient Building status report was taken as read, key points from discussion:
o
NOTED that to reduce programme impact some design activities are occurring in paral el by utilising
existing resources, rather than standing them down.
o
DISCUSSED recent changes in the market have enabled the ability to mitigate time impacts by

The Chair opened the floor for wider discussion. Key points to note include:
•
NOTED to reduce space the heat pumps have been moved to the roof, and to reduce noise most are located
on the Bow Lane side.
•
DISCUSSED that there is a limited number of places for the generators to be located. The proposed location
for the generators, in the northern corner, would be inexpensive as the cabling can be run under the road.
•
NOTED that option 4 provides a possible cost saving of $90-$100m. The exact number is not yet known as
there have been minor changes to the option 4 design since the last cost review, which requires the numbers
to be run again, as wel as some design decisions stil needing agreement from the Southern District.
•
DISCUSSED that even with a reduced pathology in option 4, a ful pathology unit would stil need to be
located elsewhere, off site, and would likely not be funded by Te Whatu Ora.
1982
•
NOTED that discussions are on-going around whether a smal area for mental health/dementia wil be part of
the design or if these services will solely be based out in the community.
•
NOTED the concerns around potential risks relating to reduced services, beds, and workspace when
Act
compared to the previous accepted design.
•
NOTED that if there is a definable reduction in services it should be clearly reported so that those who must
make the final decision are ful y informed. If the final option is not consistent with the design outlined in the
Detailed Business Case, then the ESG cannot approve it and the decision wil then need to be pushed up to
Cabinet.
•
NOTED to reduce the impact on the construction programme the review of the current value management
options needed to happen quickly, with a detailed report presented to the ESG near the end of the process.
•
NOTED Dr Nick Baker and Dr Margaret Wilsher should be involved in the review of the value management
options to provide an external clinical view.

1982
o
NOTED the Executive Steering Group cannot approve a redesign, it can only make recommendations.
o
NOTED comments from the Te Whatu Ora Southern team:
Act
▪
Hamish Brown noted this is a difficult decision to make due to papers being provided 36 hours
prior to the meeting and it appears the $90m savings have been achieved by moving items to
other budget lines. Due to the amount of risk to programme he is not in a position where he
can recommend this option to the Capital and Infrastructure Committee.
▪
Shelia Barnett acknowledged the design team have done the best job they can with the least
amount of impact, but the clinical risks are too large and unacceptable.
▪
Bridget Dickson added that the non-quantifiable risk is the stakeholders.
▪
Pete Hodgson noted the bed reduction is unacceptable and that the option is silent on
operational expenditure savings.
Information
o
DISUCUSSED that reductions for the Mental Health Services of Older People IPU were offered up by
Te Whatu Ora Southern but not the ful deletion of the IPU from the building.
9(2)(i)
o
DISUCSSED the potential costs for Dairy Building to be fitted out. Current estimate from CPB is
for fit out as an office space. Further discussion occurred around moving the kitchen to the Dairy
Building to free up space for a reduced Mental Health Services of Older People IPU.
Official
o
DISCUSSED releasing contingency to retain some clinical services and beds.
o
DISCUSSED the risks involved with going back to concept design. Robert Rust commented that similar
the
conversations are being had in Australia on multiple projects; it can be done but there is risk.
o The Chair noted that given the task set by Joint Ministers a good outcome has been reached, it is not
an acceptable outcome, but it meets the requirements of the task.
o Monique Fouwler commented that the capital and operational expenditure risks need to be clearly
under
outlined in the options put forward to Joint Ministers.
• A late paper by Pete Hodgson, outlining an alternative value management option, was circulated at the
beginning of the meeting. Pete Hodgson spoke to this paper and provided an overview, key points to note:
o There is a potential $78m saving by:
▪
Removing, cold shel ing or staging components of the original design which would save $35m
▪
Outsourcing the Bow Lane building which would save $43m in capital expenditure.
Released
o The gross and net savings would be the same resulting in no wastage due to redesign.
o Clinical services could be appropriately staged but fundamental y preserved, resulting in the noted ‘red’
and most of the ‘amber’ clinical risks no longer arising.
The Chair opened the floor for wider discussion. Key points to note include:
o Hamish Brown, Bridget Dickson, and Shelia Barnett support this alternative option and would like it
presented to Joint Ministers for consideration.
o
DISCUSSED the alternative option is more palatable with more savings on elements known. However,
further exploration needs to occur for third party funding viability.
o
DICUSSED the need to review and consider both capital and operational expenditure costs and that
the outcome from the design optimisation process wil result in better value for money.

o
NOTED the Executive Steering Group recommended option will be presented to the Te Whatu Ora
Board for consideration before seeking approval of the Joint Ministers.
o
NOTED the Executive Steering Group wil recommend option 4.3, subject to the removed beds being
added back in and a space for a reduced Mental Health Services of Older People IPU included in the
design. A revised option 4.3, with these inclusions, is to be circulated to the Executive Steering Group
members for formal endorsement.
o
NOTED the final recommendation was required by 7 October for the Capital and Infrastructure
Committee meeting on 13 October.
o Hamish Brown requested more information regarding the redundancy and resilience under option 4.3.
Richard Wager provided an overview, key points to note include:
▪
Reduction in heat pumps, but number of boilers remains the same.
▪
Reduction in logistic lifts.
▪
Water tank storage reduced from 48 hours to 24 hours.
o Hamish Brown noted these changes wil raise the overal risk profile.
1982
o Neil O’Donnel noted the changes to services generated a $4-5m saving.
o
DISCUSSED the proposed water storage changes stil meet the New South Wales standards, but
these standards have not been tested in a colder climate like Dunedin.

5 Financial Report
The report was taken as read, key points from discussion:
Released
•
There has been a 12% increase in general market, non-residential, costs since last year. Concerns about the
changes in exchange rates, market pricing, and inflationary wage pressures remain.
•
The September reports wil be split into Outpatient Building and Inpatient Building, with any site wide costs
being included in the Inpatient Building report.
•
Robert Rust commented he would like to see a breakdown of the Outpatient Building trades/tenders, which
Neil O’Donnel advised is currently being worked on.
•
Work is ongoing with trades to reduce the amount of risk being priced into costs, as some can be passed onto
the client. Matt Al en noted that RCP are needing to review tender costs submissions thoroughly to ensure risk
is not being double-dipped.
•
Due to historic variations and al ocation of fees for the redesign there was an increase in contingency spend
for the month.
