The project is install new pedestrian ramps in 18 locations at nine intersections around the city, along with installing a new sidewalk in front of the new Legacy Park Elementary School on Fifth Street. At the March 22 meeting, Coun. Mel Van Betuw felt that the city should go with the low bid from A&B Concrete, even though the bid was incomplete. He noted that the City has used this firm before and they know their work, so they should be able to make an exception to the tender requirements. Some councillors were inclined to agree, but a concern was expressed that the city could look bad to bidding companies if they showed favouritism to a local company, and the city could be held legally liable if they didn’t hold to their own policy for awarding tenders.
