The City of Mount Pearl has approved upgrades to Jackman Drive in the amount of $365,269 (HST included).
The upgrades include the full replacement of water, sanitary, and storm systems, asphalt, curb, and sidewalks.
The City received five bids, but only three proponents achieved the minimum technical score necessary. Each proponent also included options for both part-time and full-time inspection services as part of their submissions.
The planning committee recommended the contract be awarded to Englobe Corp., the qualifying bidder with the highest overall score. Councillor Bill Antle brought forward a motion to that effect during last week’s public meeting and council approved it unanimously.
Mayor Dave Aker said it’s a major project that was “long overdue.”
