The PCU Centre tenders are a go.

At its meeting on July 14, Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie approved eight tenders for construction work on the PCU Centre project at Island Park in Portage.

“We are approving them and still staying within our commitment of contributing up to $8 million,” said Reeve Toby Trimble. “These all fit within that.”

The following tenders were approved by council: $261,242 to TDI for exterior metal wall panels; $309,900 to Goertzen for roofing; $755,570 to Tri-Clad for exterior metal wall systems; $53,462 to Access Systems for overhead doors; $971,897 to Antex Western for flooring; $278,765 to Shanahan’s for various building specialties; $174,465 to Irwin Seating for arena seating; $264,503 to FC Woodwork for millwork, for a total bid amount of $3.07 million.

“The city already awarded the same tenders for the same amount. We both do it,”

said Reeve Toby Trimble, noting it was satisfying to see the tenders move along.

“We had to wait until we had our borrowing in place, and now we are moving ahead.”
