On Monday, September 25, the majority of Huntsville councillors voted in favour of going to tender for the installation of the washroom facillity at River Mill Park next spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Council managed to narrow their choices down to two locations but one will require test samples to ensure it isn’t contaminated. Staff were instructed to hire a company to conduct the work, although the cost was not discussed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what it would take to get the facility installed before winter, staff told council that they would have to get a formal quote from the three companies staff had requested an informal quote from for the installation of the washroom facility\u2014HLD, Fowlers, and Hall Construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillor Scott Morrison said he preferred having to pay for storing the unit over the winter in order to open the tender up to everyone who wants to bid. Council concurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, the resolution directed staff to issue a tender for the possibility of installing the unit in one of two locations, pending soil sample results, for a cost not to exceed $270,000 and a total overall cost of $330,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Councillors Cory Clark and Scott Morrison did not vote in favour, noting the cost is too steep and they could not rationalize spending that kind of money on toilets. Clark reiterated a previous suggestion that the toilets be sold, the funds recuperated and he added that the Town could work on a new solution with the donor of the facility. Councillor Morrison, who said he was glad the project was being put out to tender, said he could still not support the price included in the resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the resolution, Council gave staff approval to go out to tender for a cost of up to $270,000 to install the facility in one of two locations, for a total of $330,000 which includes $60,000. In a previous report, staff indicated that the $60,000 was set aside in the 2023 budget for site preparation to receive the washroom facility \u201c$39,948 has been spent to date (67% of the initial funding). This funding has been used for tree assessment\/removal ($3,400), evaluation of engineering requirements, and design of the site preparation ($36,548).\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it is hoped the tenders will come in lower, $235,000 of the project would be set aside from the cash in lieu of parkland reserve and $95,000 would come from development charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of storing the unit over the winter will come from the park’s operating budget as follows: $450 per month and $1,967 for one-time transportation to move the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staff is expected to return to council with tender results and the preferred site selection for the washroom unit to be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pending soil sample results on site 8, a tender will be issued for the cost of installing the prebuilt washroom unit on either site 1 or 8 marked in blue on the map above.<\/p>\n\n\n
