Initial pontoons estimate was ‘unrealistic’
Yesterday Moray Council, which faces having to make £1.3million worth of savings this year, was criticised for publishing an “unrealistic” estimate for how much the Findochty Harbour pontoons project would cost.
The local authority has explained the price was based on an “indicative” quote – before the final tendering process, which attracted five bids, resulted in much higher costs.
Buckie councillor Gordon Cowie said: “We spoke about this very early on in the process. It was never going to come in at that price, it was a stab in the dark figures that they got, it was totally unrealistic.
