That bad news was revealed Monday as councillors decided on awarding the tender for the sewage force main and sewer trunk lining portion of the project. Council awarded the tender to the lowest of three bidders, Hamm Construction Ltd. of Saskatoon, in an amount up to $8,928,500 including PST and not including GST. This was on the recommendation of project engineer, AECOM Canada Ltd. That tender bid actually fell below the initial price estimates by about $122,000. It was the costs for the rest of the project that produced the headaches for council on the evening. According to the memo provided by Director of Operations Stewart Schafer to council, Contract 1 for the sewage pumping station is now estimated at $5,751,454, almost $2 million more than initial estimates.
Property owners are being asked to not use water during the evening when the flushing signs are on the street. Signs will be placed on each street where that night’s flushing will take place and will be removed once the mains have been flushed. If the signs remain up, residents are welcome to use the water the next morning but they will be back to finish the flushing the next night. ATAP Infrastructure Management Ltd. will be assisting City waterworks staff in conducting the flushing, which is expected to be done over a period of two weeks. Anyone with questions about the flushing can call City Hall at 306-445-1700.
