Three Firms In the Final Run to Build Cameron Street Bridge
By 250 News
There are now just three firms in the running for the job to be the consultant who will provide the design and construction services for the rebuilding of the Cameron Street Bridge.
Associated Engineering of Burnaby, Delcan Infrastructure of Burnaby and Klohn Crippen Berger of Vancouver have all been asked to submit a request for proposal. The closing date for those proposals comes next week. and the City is hoping to award a contract later this month or early June.
The design of the bridge is expected to be complete this fall.
The City’s Purchasing Manager, Scott Bone says applications for funding have been sent in to the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund and the General Strategic Priorities Fund. The City also included the costs in the Capital Expenditure plan for construction in 2008 and 2009.
According to Bone, the environmental requirements will be determined during the design and grant process and that could have an impact on the timing of the construction.
A more detailed report on the cost estimates will be presented to Council in the fall, after the bridge design has been completed.
