NORTH BATTLEFORD ‑ North Battleford council has awarded the contract to complete the 114th Street Reservoir Pump Station Upgrade installation.
At their Jan. 24 council meeting, council awarded the contract to River City Plumbing and Heating Ltd., in the amount of $402,194.74 including PST and excluding GST.
The tender went out Dec. 20 and there were three tenders received on Jan. 12. The rival bids came from Flyer Electric LP whose bid came in at $400,150, and Humboldt Electric Ltd. at $467,672.
While River City Plumbing did not have the lowest bid financially, it was stated in a city memo that substantial performance would be attained in 40 weeks and they would have the ability to start work within two weeks of the award.
It was reported at council, however, that due to supply restrictions the generators will be delayed considerably, but should arrive within the time frame.
The city had budgeted $600,000 towards the 114th Street Reservoir Pump Station project which also includes engineering, construction costs, utility services upgrades and PLC controls programming. Council voted unanimously to award the tender.
