He explained that in early 2024, <br /> an estimate of$96.1 million had been developed for Phase 2. Following the bidding process conducted <br /> over the previous two months,the total came in at approximately$95.2 million,which includes a 5% <br /> contingency—bringing the project slightly under budget.This was considered very positive news, <br /> especially given the inflation-related challenges experienced during Phase 1 of the program.The <br /> contingency is in line with guidelines from the State Revolving Fund (SRF),which requires all <br /> components of the requested funding to be specifically justified. Mr. Drainville emphasized that the bid <br /> package had been structured accordingly to meet SRF requirements. <br /> Overview of Contracts and Bid Results <br /> Mr. Drainville explained that the six contracts are divided as follows: Contract 1 covers the Water <br /> Resource Recovery Facility(WRRF) upgrade; Contract 2 addresses pumping stations; and Contracts 3 <br /> through 6 focus on underground piping and linear infrastructure. <br />
