The City of Mount Pearl has given the go-ahead for construction of a new catch basin along Jacqueline Road.
“As part of the current 2022 Asphalt and Concrete contract, the City requested a quote from the contractor on this project, Modern Paving, to install a new catch basin and associated material on Jacqueline Road,” explained councillor Mark Rice during this week’s public meeting.
The Planning, Engineering and Development Committee recommended that council approve proceeding with the work, which comes at a cost of $17,710, HST included.
“Please note that this amount can be accounted for under the previously approved Change Order #1, which provided an additional $50,000 allowance for the project,” added Rice.
That change order, which was to allow for slight modifications to contract quantities throughout the operation of the contract, was approved during an October 4 public meeting.
The original contract, valued at $270,129, HST Included, was awarded during a public meeting on July 26.
