The cost to repair the infamous sinkhole on Winnipeg Street will likely eclipse half a million dollars.
As of September 30, the tally was $460,069.21, according to the city’s quarterly procurement report. That money was spent with Formula Contractors, Associated Engineering, United Rentals, EDI (Environmental Dynamics Inc., GeoNorth Engineering Ltd., K2 Electric, Paladin Security PG, and SLR Consulting (Canada).
Work on the sinkhole, which showed up in May, wasn’t complete until the end of the October, so more expenses will be coming.
