Watermain approved for Timmy's

Cramahe Council has approved the awarding of the contract for watermains to serve the new Tim Horton's planned for Big Apple Drive.

Council approved the contract worth $59,735 with the township paying $44,735 of the money. TDL Group, which is completing the Tim Horton's project, will pay the remaining $15,000.

Mayor Marc Coombs asserted that the township normally pays for a portion of this kind of expenditure. Couoncil agreed at its March 17, 2009 meeting to the cost sharing agreement.

Four companies bid on the work.

Cobourg Development Services bid $69,146. Dekeyser Excavating bid $80,505, and Balterre Contracting submitted a bid of $117,401.

Work will begin once TDL Group has signed the paperwork.
