The question remains—can city staff complete the work on the six water treatment projects before the March 2011 deadline. Brent McGovern with Saint John Water says it can be done, and that two projects are almost complete in design and are ready to go to tender. Commissioner of Muncipal Operations Paul Groody says it’s going to be tight, but it can be done.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase wants to know if grouping the projects together would save the city money rather than each project going to tender separately.Groody says each project requires specific preparations, so they need to go to tender separately.
