The City of Mount Pearl has made good on a commitment to connect an existing stormwater system to the Glencoe Road system.
Councillor Bill Antle, during a public meeting earlier this month, explained that in 2017, the City entered into an easement and access agreement with Sea-Force Technologies Inc., at 60-62 Glencoe Drive. The city required an easement on a portion of the property for the purpose of rerouting an existing storm water system in the rear of the property.
In December of 2023, the City granted Parts for Trucks a development permit for the property. That permit outlined the City’s responsibility to carry out the work necessary to supply and install piping of the swale and/or storm water system in the easement area and feed into the existing piped storm system on Glencoe Drive.
Four companies bid on the work, and staff recommended that council award the contract to Modern Paving for the amount of up to $195,300, plus HST.
