More work approved for Kieley’s Lane

By Mark Squibb

Holyrood council earlier this month voted to submit a gas tax application in the amount of $22,637 for additional work at Kieley’s Lane

“This project originated with the replacement of both water and sewer lines providing services to Kieley’s Lane, but due to unforeseen circumstances when the infrastructure was revealed, additional costs associated with complying with new municipal regulations and engineering advice, extra costs of $19,685 plus HST, was incurred,” said councillor Steve Winsor during the January 7 public meeting.

Mayor Gary Goobie allowed such things happen from time to time, and Winsor concurred the additional costs were not altogether surprising given the scope of the project.

Council approved the motion unanimously.

The original contract was valued at $63,850, HST included.
