FOI Request - Forres Academy Building

Request 101003717619

I note the discussions and various proposals concerning the Forres Academy building.

Please would you provide me with the following information:

1.  What would be the cost of remedying the defects and dangers resulting from the use of RAAC concrete in the building - by repairing and/or removing and/or replacing and/or reinforcing affected parts of the buidling

2.  What will be the cost of building a new academy on the same site in a phased manner - progressively decanting pupils as the various parts are completed.

3.  What will be the cost of erecting a new academy at Roysvale?  Within this project what will be the cost of demolishing the old academy?  And what sum has been allocated in the council's budget for legal expenses involved in allowing the council to build upon the common good land of Roysvale?

4.  What action is being taken - or will be taken - to recover the cost of remedying the defects arising from the use of RAAC: from contractors, designers, builders, architects, building inspectors and council officials responsible for the use of these poor quality materials?

5.  What action will be taken to ensure that no such defects can arise from the use of poor quality materials in any new academy buildings?
