Bay Bulls council last week awarded two maintenance contracts and issued a request for proposals for prime consultant services for an upcoming project.

First off, council awarded a contract for catch basin cleaning services to the lowest compliant bidder, GFL Environmental Services, for a total cost of $2,616, plus HST.

Council also bought a number of corrugated pipes to have on hand for culvert maintenance purposes from the lowest compliant bidder, Witless Bay Home Building Centre, at a cost of $5,400, plus HST.

Speaking of culverts, council fielded a request from a resident asking council to install a culvert near a previous right-of-way on Bill Joy’s Lane.

Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien believed a former council had moved the right-of-way for one reason or another, and so made the motion to reinstate the culvert, which was approved.

Council also issued a request for proposals for prime consultant services for the Northside Road project.
