Mcliroy, A.M.C.T., Clerk, Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanvllle, Ontario. 35-4N Sewage Plant Tender From Pagel1 recalled Peter Eberlee, a consulting engineer from the firm of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates. The tenders on the project were opened August 16. Mr. Eberlee suggested that the tenders may bave been so mucb higber tban expected because of the time at wbich tbey were called. He noted that tbe project was divided into tbree parts and on tbe construction of the water pollution control plant only tbree of approximately 24 eligible contractors in soutbern Ontario submitted bids. Remaining contractors were apparently too busy witb other work. Mr. Eberlee, noted that there are tbree major bospital projects underway, two otber large buildings, a large sewage treatment plant and a large theme park as well as other offshore work which i5 taking place at this time. "This level of activity apparently influenced a num ber of major contracting companies wbo bid on the projeet. Sucb activity is difficult to predict in advance but indications from tbose contacted are that there will be a reduction in activity beginning in early faîl and tbey would probably be interested in the project if re-tendered. The consulting engineer also suggested that some redesigning of the plant, could eut costs. One possible plan would be to, re-route the outlet sewer so that it would not cross the marsb area nortb of the Port Darlington harbor. By avoiding the' marsh, some money may, be saved. However W.A. Twelvetrees, Commissioner of Public Works for the Durham Region said he is not optimistic that costs can be eut down to the $5.7 million estîmate. He told works committee members that the Ontario Housing Action Program (OHAP) wlll only provide interest free boans for $5,7 million. OHAP bas not yet agreed to pick up costs over and above this amount. "Unless we goet OHAP, financing for the baance, we're ini real trouble," be warned. Quoting from facts and figures p er by the Region's finance department, Mr. Twelvetrees raid that there would be eitber a 13 per cent increase in the regional sewer rate or a $550 increase in lot levy funds if the region were to approve the $10.5 million projeet wîftbout getting additional belp frm pHA. Mr. Twelvetrees also noted that some OHAP pro jects in Courtice and Bowmanville could be cancelled or delayed so that tbe money could go towards the Bowmanville sewage plant. And witb this in mind, thbe works committee is recommending that watermain tenders for part of Nash and Trull's Rd. in Courtice be delae until some of the problems relate to tbe sewage treatment plant have been solved. About $2.7 million in OHAP sewer and water projC ts could be delayed. Tbe works committee is also recommending that the matter of OHAP grants for the plant be discussed witb the ministry of bousiý*.. Decisions made by me works committee must still be endorsed by members of- Durham's Regional Council next week. r HEYI BOWMANVILLEI IT'S THE Grand Oening located at the Self-Serve King St. E in Bowmanville!
