The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday September 29, 2004 - A 3 BOT says it wants a quick resolution (Continued from page A1) owed BOT back in July, has forced us to exercise our `Contractor's Right' to halt work entirely until we receive the unpaid portion of the undisputed $3 million," said Bot. "We feel badly for our work ers, who will be affected by the work stoppage at Third Line, and for the Oakville residents who will be incon venienced. We sincerely hope that MTO sees fit to correct the situation without further delay so we can com plete this project as soon as possible," said Bot. " BOT has done every thing on this project we've been asked to do, when we've been asked to do it. Now we just want MTO to pay what they acknowledged in July they owe us. We are astounded that MTO is tak ing a heavy-handed approach that is not fair to Oakville motorists or to us. We are currently exploring what options are available to us to resolve this matter as quickly as possible," said Bot. MTO spokespersons con tinue to state that the issue is being reviewed under a Dispute Resolution Mechanism built into each contract. C a r o u s e l o f N a t io n s Phot by Peter C.
