Witless Bay council last week approved a change order in the amount of $3,250, plus HST for the Lower Pond Tourist project.
It’s the fifth change order for the project.
“We’re looking to get this completed soon, so this will be the last — or at least we’re hoping it’s the going to be the last change order — for the project,” said councillor Ralph Carey, who allowed folks will be impressed with the final product.
The change order was for site work.
Council initially appointed Mills & Wright Landscape Architecture as prime consultant on the project at a cost of $17,150 plus HST.
The upgrades will include new seating, a spotting scope (non-coin operated binoculars), and interpretative panels.
Work on the project is expected to resume soon.
On a similar front, the Town purchased $2,113, plus HST, worth of material for new outdoor furniture. The furniture will be constructed by inmates at the provincial penitentiary through the jail’s carpentry program.
