SH05130 - Electrical Upgrade Programme 2017-2021

The aim of this project is to bring approximately 11,250 properties up to a modern day electrical standard by March 2021. Many of our properties have not received electrical works for decades, and the Decent Homes programme did not fund a whole house dedicated programme of electrical works. This 4 year programme - which is identified as a priority in the HRA Business Plan - will therefore include the following works: Statutory or Regulatory Requirements: • Install Isolation Switch. • Carry out an initial periodic condition test and report. • Address Category 1, 2 and 3 issues identified by the periodic test. • Ensure earth bonding is adequate. • Install earth wiring to lighting circuits. • Install Hard Wired Smoke alarms. • Carry out final periodic tests. • Replace consumer unit to provide improved RCD protection • Install additional sockets and / or improve the spread of sockets. • Install Carbon Monoxide Detectors. • Install external lighting to houses, bungalows & flats. The Council intends to appoint 2 contractors so those with the highest scores following the tender evaluation will be appointed.
