A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering - always Distinctive Memorials of Lasting Satisfaction BOX 158 WINGHAM ONT NOG 2W0 Huron East awards gravel, dust, landscaping tenders Several public works contracts were awarded by Huron East council at its March 16 meeting, including its gravel work, dust control and roadside grass-cutting. The north patrol gravel tender was awarded to Donegan’s Haulage Limited with a bid of $287,614.50. Donegan’s also bid on the south patrol, but was beat out by Jennison Construction with a bid of $168,390 for the south patrol. Donegan’s bid was just under $10,000 higher than Jennison’s. Huron East initially earmarked $535,000 for gravel work. However, after tenders came in, the total cost is just over $456,000, almost $100,000 cheaper than Huron East first expected it to be. The amount has been factored into the 2010 budget. The municipality’s dust control contract was awarded to Pollard Highway Products, who had the low bid of $144,802.35. Pollard’s bid was the lowest by just under $10,000, with bids ranging up to $226,709. The original price estimate for this portion of the public works budget was $120,000, so just under an additional $25,000 has now been factored in and included in the 2010 budget. Council also approved the roadside mowing contract, awarding it to Vandriel Excavating, which edged out Diamond Environmental Incorporated by just $600. Vandriel was awarded the contract for a total cost of $59,200, while Diamond’s bid was $59,800. The price estimate for this portion of the budget was $44,000, so just over $15,000 has been added to the price and included in the 2010 budget for consideration.
