This tender combines road resurfacing projects, sidewalks, and multi-use pathway paving:
- Black Bay Road, from Doran Road to a point 1 km west towards Highway 17;
- Florence Street, from Portage Road to Hilda Street;
- Petawawa Boulevard sidewalk, from Laurentian Drive to Silke Drive, and from Radtke Road to 2321 Petawawa Boulevard;
- Laurentian Drive multi-use pathway, from Ravenwood Crescent to Petawawa Boulevard; and
- Laurentian Drive multi-use pathway, from Civic Centre Road to Dundonald Drive.
As previously indicated, the construction industry is still recovering from losses and inflation experienced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been a contributing factor for higher commodity prices, increased labour rates, increased rates for diesel, supply chain challenges, and capacity to perform work among other factors.
Financial Implication:
The funding for this tender was included in the 2023 budget along with amounts budgeted for sidewalk maintenance, hot mix asphalt patching, and hot mix asphalt resurfacing. Approximately $495,000.00 was allocated for this project including a $96,000.00 grant from the Permanent Public Transit Program - Active Transportation Fund. The quantities quoted in the tender document will need to be reduced and negotiated with the contractor to ensure compliance with the 2023 budget.
