The township’s new municipal maintenance facility remains on target for completion this August.
CAO Brad McRoberts reported at the July 12 meeting the project is about 85 per cent done and final completion remains projected for August.
“However, depending on ongoing project work the date of occupancy or substantial completion may be in advance of that date,” McRoberts stated in a staff report.
With tenders awarded for all facets of the project, McRoberts reported it is currently running about $62,000 under budget.
The project budget is $5,155,542 with a committed cost to date of $5,092,855 and a remaining contingency of about $126,000.
The project “remains under budget and on schedule,” the report states.
“It’s good to see that we’re coming in under budget or on budget and on schedule,” said Mayor Neil Driscoll.
“It’s nice to see we’re on budget and eventually we will get into that building.”
The new facility is being built at the municipal administration office site on Sideroad 16.
It will replace a previous building on the same site that burned down in November of 2013, as well as another maintenance facility in Moorefield.
