Thomas contractor gets nod for Clinton project
Marshall
ugh economic dmes have resulted in a
omas contractor winning a bid for Clinton
c School's massive renovation project.
et Baird -Jackson, superintendent of
less and treasurer for the Avon Maitland
rtct School Board (AMDSB),, brought
rd a recommendation Oct. 25 to have the
rd approve Elgin Contracting and
ration's tender of $1i548,6?O for a daycare
addition and school renovations at CPS.
The joint project between the AMDSB and
the County of Huron Early Years Centre will
Include an almost 4,000 sq. f, daycare addidon.
The addition will include an infant room,
toddler room, play room, servery, w
office space and meeting moms. •
Renovations to CPS will include electrical,
ventilation, lighting and window upgrades. The
work is the final phase in a series of renovations
which began at the school in 2007.
Baird -Jackson said that when tenders for this
latest CPS project were requested, eight bids
were received. Some were from contractors the
AMDSB has worked with in the past, and
surprisingly, others were from as far away as
Vaughan.
London -area Elgin Contracting was the
lowest bidder, but neither the AMDSB nor
Maridevitz Architects had previous experience
with Elgin or one of their electrical sub -trades.
Markievitz noted that as a normal pracdce, they
requested references and a past list of relevant
projects from Elgin and its sub -trade. Following
that, they interviewed both. Marklevitz, the
electrical consultant and the AMDSB facilities
department decided "there was insufficient
evidence to vary from the normal tendering
procedure of awarding the contract to the lowest
bidder", according to the architects' report.
Trustees passed the recommendation. to
accept Elgin's tender The daycare portion of the
work comes to $1,088,122 while the AMDSB
portion is $580,547. The project is jointly funded
by the County of Huron and Facilities Renewal
funding.
