note: <}V( ARENA TENDERS ABOVE THE MARK The bids are in from the various construction companies tendering for the contract of the new Langley Ice Arena. In the mumbo jumbo of cost estimates and architectural changes that preceeded the call for tenders, somehow the coun- cilmen managed to come up with a cost estimate just $58,000 short of the lowest tender. The lowest bid was submitted by Rossie Construction Co. of Surrey. Their bid was 1 million 308 thousand dollars. Next lowest bidder was Rat- cliffe Construction who said they could do the job for 1 million, 330 thousand dollars. Third in line was VanvlietCon- struction with 1 million, 351 thousand, 787 dollars. From there the bids got progressively larger. Crayton Construction entered a tender for $1,354,700, Habeler offered to build the arena for $1,384,220. The highest bidder was Grimwood Construction who sent a tender valued at $1,467,600. C.J. Oliver Construction Ltd. who built the arena in Matsqui did not enter a bid for the job. When construction begins it will take place off the Berry Road in Langley city, near the B.C. Hydro power lines. This location was finally decided upon after a joint council meeting in April. The tenders for the job are now in the hancs of architects . Gardiner and Thornton, and it is reasonable to assume that they will be asked to shave some of the cost off, to bring the project cost nearer to the amount passed in the referendum last December. The cost estimate passed in that trip to the polls was for one and a quarter million dollars, fifty- eight thousand dollars less than the cost as it now stands. The price was high to begin with, but the people showed a willingness to foot the bill when asked in December. Council could now take the extra fifty-eight thousand out of general revenue, but if they did that they would certainly loose some popularity. A second referendum would also seem impractical, so the only alternative seems to be to instruct the designers to shave off some fancy trimm…
