Dear Wayne Vardon

Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

Thank you for your request for information dated 4 January 2022. I have
dealt with your request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act
2000.

In your request you said:

You have sought a more specific request.  I apologise for the delay but in
the interim, I have received some information and the matter has settled. 
I can therefore make the substantially more focused request as follows:

I ask to be provided the following information:

1.         the updates you were provided & sought from Amey (or any other
involved party) i.e. emails, letters, meetings etc. about ongoing costs
from the date of the incident (10/12/2016)  to the submission of your
contractor’s invoice.  These costs are likely to be for temporary vehicle
restraint systems (Temp’ VRS), monitoring or same, admin’, contractor
uplift etc. .  If no updates were supplied, please advise accordingly.

2.         your pre-payment audit of Amey’s £440,000+ invoice.  If there
was none, please advise accordingly.

3.         A copy of the GMQS audit undertaken or confirm I may utilise
the copy I possess

4.         The cost of the audit

On 31 January 2022 we asked you to clarify questions 3 and 4. On 1
February 2022 you said:

Q3 -   ‘the GMQS audit’? Greg Marshall Quantity Surveying (GMQS) was
established in 2007 and is the author of the report to which I am
referring.  The report is held against your reference A7/41077957. Please
advise to whom a copy should be forwarded, if the above is insufficient to
locate said information.

Q4 – pre-payment audit. I am referring to the pre-payment audit referred
to in question 2; the audit of the work and costs information presented by
Amey prior to National Highways payment of the contractor’s invoice

We have completed our search for the information you requested and I can
confirm that we hold some of it.

 1.  the updates you were provided & sought from Amey (or any other
involved party) i.e. emails, letters, meetings etc. about ongoing
costs from the date of the incident (10/12/2016)  to the submission of
your contractor’s invoice.  These costs are likely to be for temporary
vehicle restraint systems (Temp’ VRS), monitoring or same, admin’,
contractor uplift etc. .  If no updates were supplied, please advise
accordingly.

Please find attached a spreadsheet titled ‘Job Details and Costs
Associated for Knuston Lodge RTC’

 2. your pre-payment audit of Amey’s £440,000+ invoice.  If there was
none, please advise accordingly.

We have now completed our search and I can confirm that under Section
1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 we do not hold the
information requested.

We check the details of the resources (labour, plant and materials)
allocated to the job to ensure they are fair and reasonable.

 3. A copy of the GMQS audit undertaken or confirm I may utilise the copy
I possess

Please find attached a PDF titled ‘Higham Road Report - 3rd July 2021
GMQS_Redacted’. This is the same document that was issued to you by our
Litigation Partner, GLD, on 10 August 2021.

Personal information has been redacted in reliance on Section 40(2) of the
Freedom of Information Act.

 4. The cost of the pre-payment audit

We have now completed our search and I can confirm that under Section
1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 we do not hold the
information requested.

Please see the explanation provided in response to question 2.

If you are not satisfied with your response you may ask for an internal
review within 40 working days of receiving the response, by replying to
this email. You can learn more about the internal review process [1]here.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
[2][email address]
