WTP Construction Out for Tender

This architectural rendering is based on the proposed Water Treatment Plant design that is currently out for tender to 3 pre-qualified general contractors. Submissions are due in August and the Town anticipates having a contractor in place by early Fall, with work to begin shortly thereafter. Due to the complex nature of the project, the Town took an innovative approach to the Tender by pre-qualifying general contractors through an open market competitive process. These contractors have been involved during the design process commenting and providing input on constructability and contract challenges to improve the design and tender package.

In addition, one of the prequalified contractors, Kenaidan Contracting Ltd was awarded and has completed the installation of new UV filtration equipment on-site at the existing Water Treatment Plant. The plan is to commission this equipment in July, with the process taking 4-6 weeks to complete. This UV filtration will add another layer of disinfection to the drinking water system and allow operators to decrease the amount of chlorine used at the plant.
