Avertex Utility Solutions Inc. of Orangeville has been awarded the
tender for the watermain project on Campbell Street in Lucknow, with a
bid of $71,400.
Huron-Kinloss council approved the tender at its Dec. 21 meeting, noting
Avertex was the lowest of six bids which included Moorefield Excavating
at $85,616.27, Bill and Tom Kempton Construction at $86,971.50, A. Van
Egmond Construction at $90,268.50, Elgin Construction at $105,969.79,
and SMRS Construction at $126,438.37.
Township engineer B.M. Ross and Associates reported that it checked all
the tenders and while it has not worked directly with Avertex on
watermain projects in the past, references were contacted and they
indicated the contractor is experienced and capable of completing the
job.
Public works director Hugh Nichol said that depending on the weather,
the watermain installation should be completed by Feb. 26, with final
restoration in the spring. Bruce County Highways has approved the
project on the condition it will not interfere with winter maintenance
activities, he said.
