Mayor Paul Ens noted that due to discussion that may include proposed figures for a
Request for Proposal(RFP) for dredging to accommodate the Ojibwa Project,it may be
necessary for Council to move in and out of closed session.
Glen Underwood advised that he had met with a contact with 15 years of experience
working on a dredge similar to the one the Harbourfront Committee proposed for
purchase by the Municipality. He requested an additional two days to provide details
and financial input prior to submission of an RFP by the Municipality.
Council was advised that the RFP deadline has been extended to Friday,July 8th. This
would delay a start time to at least mid-July.
It was noted that,although responses had been received from the Ministry of Natural
Resources and the Long Point Region Conservation Authority,approval from the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans has still not been received.
Various details of the requirements of the RFP were discussed. Concerns were raised
regarding the extent of financial risks involved and the ability of the Municipality to
meet the criteria.
It was suggested that information gathered through the RFP process would be helpful
for future dredging efforts.
