A tender from Southroads has won the construction contract for the sealing of the Cross Recreation Centre carpark, associated drainage work and line marking from Clutha District Council.
Council accepted the tender price of $171,000+GST, from Southroads which was 4.7% below the engineer’s pre-tender estimate.
Four tenders were received for this work, ranging from the price tendered by Southroads up to $227,000+GST.
District Assets Manager Jules Witt says the cost was 22% above the 2014/15 budget, but Council had approved that this additional $28,000 would be funded through a small increase in the rating requirement.
Work is expected to start in early April after the Easter Break.
