TELUS Project Comments
The Village of Lions Bay
Contractor Cost 1) We expect savings when BC
Hydro/TELUS/Shaw conduit is placed by the
same contractor at the same time on the
same tender. 2) Does not include the cost to
punch a pipe under the railway since cost
savings are possible when utilities are
placed jointly. 3) When the public portion of
the job is tendered, an optional separate
cost can be requested from the contractor
for the private property portion. Due to the
efficiencies of scale in doing the 62 lots at the
same time as the public portion, we expect
the cost to be lower than each homeowner
arranging for their own contractor.
