Despite Tower Engineering’s contract for the project management of the Portage Credit Union Centre having expired April 15, this should not adversely affect the cost or construction of the sports complex, officials said.

“I have every intention of being there to the end,” project manager of the PCU Centre construction Guenter Shaub, of Tower Engineering, said.

Shaub also added he didn’t see it necessary to draw up a new contract as he intends to stay on until his duties are completed and Tower Engineering’s fee will not increase, either.

The current fee is set at $225,000.

The projected completion date of the multiplex when the contract was signed between the City and Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie and Tower Engineering on May 14, 2007 was last Wednesday, city manager Dale Lyle confirmed.
