TRY CLASSIFIED Huron East has accepted the tender from Ryan Construction for the McCallum-Winthrop Municipal drain at its Sept. 1 meeting. The total cost is $41,954, over $25,000 under the initial cost estimate of $68,400. The motion, passed by council, voted for council to accept both parts of tender as quoted by Ryan Construction, however, an engineer will be making a report, as Huron East was considering completing the second part of the tender on their own. The court of revision for the drain was held at the Sept. 1 meeting. It was, however, uneventful, as there were no appeals. The tender received from Ryan Construction stipulated a start date of September for the project and a projected completion date of November. Huron East council accepts drain tender Music and money The Seaforth and District All-Girls Marching Band got a financial boost for new instruments recently with a $15,000 Trillium grant. (Vicky Bremner photo) After considerable debate, Morris- Turnberry councillors voted at their Sept. 15 meeting to go ahead with an archeological study needed if a new Bluevale drain is to be proceeded with. Council had agreed at its Sept. 1 meeting to seek prices for a study to ensure that there are no grave sites in the path of a proposed route for the drain, which would help solve problems for homeowners on Duncan St. B. M. Ross and Associates proposed a tiered study that would keep costs low for the initial study, but escalate with the scale of work required. For $2,000 they will do detailed historical background research to see if there are records of graves in the area where the drain would go. If the background study does not provide conclusive evidence that the area is free of graves, a geophysical study would be undertaken at a cost of $2,650. If mechanical topsoil removal is required to search for grave shafts, then the cost would rise by another $3,050. And additional $1,500 might be required for site visits by the engineers. Councillor Mark Beaven at first opposed the study. “We’re spending $8,000 and we don’t know if we’re going to go ahead with the drain,” he said. Councillor Paul Gowing also opposed the idea at first, saying he felt the drain was not needed for roads in Bluevale and so it should be going ahead as a municipal drain by a petition of landowners, with the landowners picking up the cost and the municipality only paying for the roads’ share of the drainage costs. “If there aren’t enough landowners to sign (the petition) it all ends here,” he said. But Nancy Michie, administrator clerk-treasurer explained that the archeological study and an environmental assessment must be in place if the council wants to be “shovel ready” in order to seek funding under the next round of the infrastructure funding through which the federal government and province would each pick up a third of the cost, leaving only a third for the municipality and landowners. The B. R. Ross proposal of $1.7 million, $1.1 million of which would apply to Duncan Street and $600,000 to Clyde Street, is by far the cheapest solution offered to the chronic drainage problems which have brought delegations of Bluevale homeowners to council on a regular basis. B. M. Ross does not do municipal drains, she said. Federal and provincial funding also wouldn’t be available for a municipal drain. Deputy-mayor Jim Nelemans said the council had earlier agreed that it would prefer the storm sewer rather than municipal drain if the grant could be received. “Why not go ahead and do the archeological study,” he said, making a motion to proceed. Council approved the motion. Councillors then voted to file a request from R. J. Burnside and Associates to be allowed to prepare an estimate for the same work. The company had prepared a much higher estimate for the purposes of an earlier, grant application. When that grant was unsuccessful, council turned to B. M. Ross for a less expensive alternative.
