BATTLEFORD — Battleford town council has given approval to awarding a tender for a cemetery expansion project.
The winning tender is Wilco Contractors 麻豆视频west Inc., whose bid came in at $548,100. It was the lowest of the two bids received for the project when tenders closed April 6. Engineers Crosby Hanna and Associates made the recommendation to award the tender to the winning bidder.
The cemetery project work will consist of grading, fencing and roads and was included in the 2022 budget. The winning tender came in under budget by a little over $120,000.
Council members were happy to see the project come in under budget. They were also pleased to see this long-discussed project at the cemetery finally go ahead, with Mayor Ames Leslie noting this project was the "next stage" after doing the ground stabilization there.
The cemetery is located along Highway 16 West near the North Saskatchewan River.
