YORKTON - A tender for work as part of a culvert replacement on Smith Street received approval by Yorkton Council at its regular meeting Monday.
“The replacement of the Smith Street culvert was included in the 2024/2025 Capital Budget that was approved last year, providing for construction in 2025,” noted René Richard, Director of Engineering and Asset Management with the city.
On Feb. 6, 2025, the Invitation to Tender for the “2025 Smith Street Culvert Replacement” was advertised on Biddingo, as well as SaskTenders for a tender period of two weeks with a closing date of Feb. 20, 2025.
“Only one bid was received,” said Richard adding, “The bid from G Ungar Construction Co. Ltd., although the only bid, was deemed to be best value as it was complete, and was within budgetary estimates.”
This project will be funded from the 2025 Capital Budget as approved. It is anticipated that the project would be completed within the allotted budget amount, said Richard.
