The dog days of summer are only just winding down, but the Town of Bay Bulls is already looking ahead to winter.
Council earlier this month approved the release of the tender documents for the 2024-2025 snow clearing contract.
Council typically pays for snow clearing on an as-needed basis, but last year, it awarded the snow clearing contract to Southeast Construction at a bid price of $329,900 plus HST. Council paid an additional $5,000, plus HST, for snow clearing in February and again in March.
Earlier this summer, council decided not to renew the contract and instead moved to tender a new snow clearing contract and go back to an hourly rate rather than a fixed contract.
The release date for the contract was September 3.
