Westside construction goes to tender

Wayne Moore CASTANET:

Two large municipal building projects in the District of Westside are going to tender. The $1.8 million District of Westside City Hall and $750,000 Fire Hall 31 expansion will both go to tender in the coming days. Westside Chief Administrative Officer, Jason Johnson, expects the tender process to be complete in about a month. The municipality pre-qualified contractors to bid on each of the projects. The municipal hall, which is being constructed on the site of the current Mt. Boucherie Community Centre, should take between four and six months to complete.

The renovation to the main Westside Fire Hall is necessary to accommodate the addition of a new ladder truck. The ladder truck, which is expected to arrive within the next couple of weeks, will be stored at the Lakeview Fire Hall until renovations at the new hall are complete.
