Competitive bids for this project have not yet been sought. Preparation of tender documents was scheduled to be completed in mid April. However, due to some late changes to certain key engineering design elements, this has been delayed. It is now expected that tender documents will be completed in late May, and invitation of bids as soon as possible thereafter is envisaged. Notwithstanding that target dates have lengthened, the OPW expects to place a contract and to make substantial progress onsite in the second half of the year.
