Estevan city council has awarded the tender for the resurfacing of King Street from Pine Avenue to Kensington Avenue.
Chamney Crushing Ltd. was awarded the contract for $946,097.50, the lowest bid out of the three bidders. The price does not include GST.
The project is to start on June 18, and the completion date is set for July 31. It will include resurfacing of the arterial road.
The engineering department will also make arrangements with SaskPower to relocate three street lights located on the north side of the roadway, and city staff will relocate pertinent city utilities as required.
The project represents this year’s project for King Street. Last year the city resurfaced King Street from Souris Avenue North to Bannatyne Avenue, and widened and resurfaced King Street from Bannatyne Avenue to Pine Avenue.
Once this year’s work is finished, the only remaining work for King Street will be from Cundall Drive to Kohaly Avenue.
Council also awarded a tender for Nicholson Road from Kohaly Avenue to Lynd Crescent, to Small Iron Excavating for $234,276.20, to replace water mains and rehabilitate the road once the water main work is finished.
In a report to council, city engineer Kiflom Weldeab said the city is preparing to replace aging water mains and pertinent roadways in the Pleasantdale area over the next few years. The project is to start on June 19 and wrap up on July 10.
