Previous errors and repairs could increase the cost of “early works construction” by $85 million on Metro Vancouver’s delayed and over-budget North Shore wastewater treatment plant.
Early last year, Metro hired PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. on a contract worth $40 million to develop a new plan for the troubled project, including a revised budget and schedule. The move came after the regional district terminated its contract with the treatment plant’s initial contractor, Acciona Wastewater Solutions LP, after it missed key milestones and appeared to have “abandoned” the project.
Work over the last several months has been focused on identifying and repairing “concrete deficiencies” on structures built by Acciona. The project needs more repairs, and more challenging repair work, than originally expected. The design is also not as far along as reported by Acciona, according to the report.The liquid waste committee will discuss the request at its March 15 meeting. If accepted, it will go to the Metro board for a decision at the end of the month.
A plan to complete the project, including an updated cost estimate and schedule, is expected to go before the Metro board in mid-2023. The main construction contract for the project’s second phase will also be awarded later this year.
