The previous sanitary lift station upgrade, at Midwood lift station, was completed by G&E Construction LTD. Staff was satisfied that the project was completed in a professional and timely manner.
In conclusion, staff recommends that the proposed 2012 Stewart Avenue Sanitary Lift Station Upgrade Contract be awarded to G&E Contracting LTD. This will provide our residents with an upgraded sanitary lift station, with no impact to the proposed 2012 capital budget.
