Does anybody else want a biscuit? |
Yes please. |
might as well. |
Anyway can we after, they, they wanted a few predictions. |
What was the next thing they also want? |
They want a spread of expenditure for the contract works So what we agreed with them is that we will forthwith start sending them client reports and I've asked them if they will report back to us whether the client reports are in the form they want them. |
Because we feel that the client repor Some within the management team feel that the client reports, as we are proposing to issue them are heavy. |
In other words there's too much information in them. |
So they've agreed to cooperate with us in er putting together a client report or, or, or, or devising client reports which have a minimum of information but the information that they require. |
Not the information that we think they require. |
An and I'd like that team briefing as well. |
Cos it's quite disappointing that we actually er agreed that we'd start issuing client reports about two months, and as far as I'm aware nobody started issuing them. |
Leeds North Wes |
gonna have to wait for the erm |
No. |
That's done. |
That's all done? |
A a apart from Chris and Bill, I've sat down with all the M S fours an and been through the changes to the appointment contract, and how they now erm form the basis of the er interim client report. |
Th the, the, the interim client report is ready I mean you could use it today. |
Erm if that's what people . |
Er if you like when I go through it with Chris and Bill, I'll you know invite you in and we'll we'll, we'll, we'll . |
you say. |
Well so in other words you haven't done the bridge office? |
That's right. |
Yeah. |
Because they weren't available when |
Yeah. |
when I did everybody else and erm I, I |
Oh yeah. |
I'd like to be in on that. |
Yeah. |
Er but but the report, er the database has now been rationalized in accordance with the paper I've put to you. |
Yeah. |
The appointment contracts and variations have been changed in accordance with the paper I've put to you. |
The sort of Toytown Railway example is now up and running. |
The interim client report which I showed as, again as an example which I provided you a copy with, is now available. |
So effectively you've had that information all you've actually got to do is to make sure that the text within the general notes of the |
Mm. |
database is relevant and then on all open projects your clerks can produce these reports for your project coordinators to sign off. |
The only problem is that the first time you do it for each project if it's a ne if it's a an old project, then we are going to have to put something in the field which summarizes the total remit for the whole of the group to date. |
Er a and that's a one off exercise |
I, I think we should let old projects run the, run the course frankly. |
Well you can't do that with bridge projects Jim. |
Y you can in |
Well no. |
No. |
your office but you can't do it |
We'll put in large ones but I mean I've got a you know |
No. |
No. |
No. |
No. |
a hundred projects that will disappear in three months. |
That's right. |
A a and we just let those disappear and evaporate. |
Yeah. |
Yes. |
I, I'm not for a minute suggesting that er th that for the small projects that we do that. |
But most of Roger's projects |
w would need tha that remit. |
A and really the remit is nothing other than something like undertake erm er survey work, design, detailed drawings or the reconstruction or repairs to blah blah blah blah including pre-imposed contract work. |
End of story. |
Unless we vary and it i i i we just need to put that in. |
A and I can get er Ken and my clerks to ferret through the old contracts, and all the variations that we've had to date, and come up with a suggested erm latest remit for the project coordinator to approve. |
If that's what it wants. |
I mean er that's a service I'm quite happy to offer. |
Erm so really you tell me which jobs you're gonna send reports out on,a and erm that you would like that particular field sorting out, and I will get Ken and Amanda and Kerry to er t to get something in there, so that when you pull it off erm you're happy with it or we can then edit it. |
It then g sets the thing right for the next variation as well, cos you use that variation er use that er latest remit within the subsequent variations to the appointment contract. |
I've just looked through my notes o of the meeting. |
They wanted from us an assurance that we would continue to provide the level of service that we have done in the past. |
Because they were concerned about rumours they'd heard of staff shortages within the C E D G. |
Perhaps we should be a bit more careful about whingeing about losing staff to Regional Railways and |
other people. |
Er a and just get on and bite the bullet and do something about it. |
And get on and, that's right. |
And get work done. |
But they're pinching them. |
ridiculous it's their department that's |
taking them all . |
Yes. |
But if we don't |
But Terry they're the client |
There's a fact of life isn't it? |
the client. |
Well you didn't have to, yeah. |
But we didn't have to, what I mean the point is that we didn't have to tell, have to tell them, they already knew. |
They knew that Ian had taken er or was about to take some and they knew that er |
Yeah. |
But you've got, you haven't got a problem with |
that old Brian 's gone. |
but I, I, as I understand it you haven't got a problem with workload. |
In fac I, from what I understand is that you've got a problem with shortage of workload. |
Yeah. |
Well I can't stop their perception of the fact that the staff that are disappearing out of the office come from the P T section. |
Yeah. |
But . |
You can't stop it but you can influence it. |
I mean if, if our, if, if we're going around whingeing that a |
But we're not. |
shortage of staff, but that was their perception Terry. |
