Council receives update on Water Treatment Plant project
NEWS RELEASE - Distributed July 22, 2014 12:46 PM
Summary
At its Special Open Meeting held July 21, 2014, Council received an update on the construction status of Nanaimo's new Water Treatment Plant located south of the City along South Forks Road.
Work on the facility remains within the approved $70 million dollar budget, which includes allowances for contingency spending, of which approximately $400,000 has been spent on change orders. A revised completion date of September 2015 has now been set.
Link to Strategic Plan: The Water Treatment Plant project directly supports the City's priority of water.
Key Points
- To address earlier delays encountered during concrete work, the contractor, Kenaidan Contracting Ltd., has introduced additional resources to assist the current construction team.
- The balance of the remaining summer and fall construction activities will focus on completing the structure of the main facility building. Interior electrical and mechanical work will then follow.
- The project remains within the approved budget of $70 million. Change orders, a normal part of any construction project, are funded from a contingency included in the budget. Current change orders total less than 1% of the contract value.
