The Town of Bay Bulls is one step closer to completing an outdoor community skating rink.
During December’s meeting, council awarded the structure and mechanical design services contract to Core Engineers Ltd., at a cost of $14,200 plus HST.
Council first undertook work on the new rink in September, when it issued a request for proposals on site preparation. The plan was to level off ground just in behind the Bay Bulls Regional Lifestyle Centre to make way for the rink.
The Town has already secured a donation of leftover rink boards from the Mary Brown’s Centre and has submitted a funding application to Active NL in hopes of securing provincial government money.
During that same meeting, council also awarded appraisal services for land off Cemetery Lane West.
“The Town of Bay Bulls is looking to acquire land for the purpose of a secondary access point to the parking lot area of the recreational field, and so staff have gone out for some quotes,” explained Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien.
Council moved to award the job to the lowest compliant bidder, Kirkland Balsom and Associates, at a cost of $2,995 plus HST.
