Granville Avenue is the latest road in Enderby slated for extensive work, and the project is expected to be completed no later than mid-September.
The renewal of Granville Avenue west of George Street (Highway 97A) is the top 2025 budgeted project listed in the city's financial summary. It is budgeted at just over $1.4 million, to be funded through a combination of reserves, community works funds and existing annual contributions from taxation to asset management, according to minutes from a February council meeting.
The city issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a contractor for the project on April 23.
According to the RFP, the project involves the reconstruction of 175 metres of road, including curbs, gutters and sidewalk; replacement of 170 metres of sanitary sewer and 14 services; 175 metres of new storm sewer with work on eight services and catch basins; and replacement of 170 metres of water main and 14 services.
The RFP states that the work is to be completed no later than Sept. 12 for a maximum work period of 13 weeks.
The RFP is open on BC Bid until 2 p.m. May 9.
The city may negotiate additional work with the successful contractor if satisfied with the work.
