The Admiralty House Communications Museum will be getting a new roof.
Council awarded the contract during this week’s public meeting.
“The existing roof of Admiralty House has reached the end of its service life and requires replacement to preserve the integrity of the building and its historical value,” said councillor Bill Antle.
He moved that council award the contract for the roof replacement to the lowest qualified bidder, Fort Property Construction, for the bid amount of $51,865, HST included.
The motion was approved unanimously.
Council also voted to extend both its electrical and plumbing maintenance service contracts, which were set to expire on August 31, for an additional year. The contracts, awarded to Pro Circuit Electrical and King’s Plumbing and Heating Ltd., run at an annual cost of $129,375, HST included, and $60,375, HST included, respectively.
Both contracts are unit price contracts, meaning the City only pays for services rendered.
The City has the option to extend both contracts for another year.
