Contract for Wharf Repairs
A $51, 073 contract has been awarded by the Department of Public Works to Stanley Reid of Port Hilford for construction of an extension to the wharf at Ballantyne’s Cove, Antigonish County.
Reid’s Tender was the lowest of six in response to advertising for public tenders which closed April 4. The highest bid was $72, 554. The work is scheduled to be completed in six months.
The project consists of building an extension to the outer end of the wharf for a distance of 100 feet by 25 feet wide. It will be constructed of stone-ballasted, creosoted timber cribwork with a reinforced concrete deck and wave break. It is to be equipped with mooring posts, ladders and a derrick.
