UPDATE: City to award tender to fix previous defects on 108th

Update: Updated to include additional details.

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The City of Fort St. John will award a tender to fix defects created by previous contractors on 108th Street and 114A Avenue. 

According to a report by city staff, the issues the intersection and “The Station” subdivision were created by FSJ North Point Developments Ltd. in 2015 and Solarium Industries in 2016. 

North Point breached its contract by failing to fix all the issues outlined in its contract during the warranty period, and Solarium breached its contract by failing to complete the work by the set completion date.

The City holds funds from these developers in the form of security and deficiency deposits which will be used to pay for this work. The individual Servicing Agreements allow for collecting any shortfall of those funds.

To fix these issues, the city put out a call for tender in February, which has since closed.

The report indicates that the city received five tenders for the project, with staff recommending Fort St. John-based Terus Construction Ltd. be awarded the work for $1.1 million. 

Council will make a decision when they meet on March 13th.
