The Township of Esquimalt says it has some difficult decisions to make after the estimated budget for its new public safety building rose by nearly 50 per cent, or $20 million, over the span of about two years.
The township says the initial budget estimate, provided by project consultants, was $42 million in February 2021."After tenders were issued in December 2022, the construction manager presented the township with an unexpected budget of $62.2 million," said the township in a release Wednesday.
A little under $7 million of the project's initial budget has already been spent on renovations to the current public safety building, including construction of a temporary police facility, a temporary fire hall, and other design and consultation fees. "This is a difficult situation, however the reality is that costs continue to rise and we need to make decisions based on the most recent information available," said Mayor Barbara Desjardins in a statement Wednesday.
A presentation by the project manager, which will include a report and recommendations from township staff, will be discussed at a committee of the whole meeting on May 8.
