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.

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.
