Council authorizes $66,700 work order for staking services to keep Yalvo construction on schedule
Summary
The council approved a $66,700 work authorization to QK Inc. for construction staking services on the Yalvo project, citing familiarity with the project and to avoid further delays; staff said funds are included in the project budget and construction manager duties remain unchanged.
The Lindsay City Council voted 5–0 to approve a $66,700 work authorization to QK Inc. for construction staking services on the Yalvo project.
Project staff said QK was chosen because the firm performed the topographic survey and therefore could begin staking quickly, helping the project avoid schedule delays. The work authorization covers construction staking and related services; staff said the cost is included in the existing project budget.
Why it matters: Staking services are a time-sensitive preconstruction step that sets control points for contractors. Staff emphasized the goal of maintaining the project schedule and noted the construction manager role on the project remains with the prior firm.
Council asked whether funds were budgeted and staff confirmed they are. The council approved the authorization and directed staff to proceed so staking can begin once administrative steps are complete.
Next steps: QK can begin staking work upon administrative and contractual sign-off; staff will monitor schedule impacts and report progress to council.
