The city is approving a significant cost adjustment of over $5.5 million for WSP Canada Inc. regarding the reconstruction of the Gatineau drinking water plant.

The city rejected a bid for the supply and installation of liquid oxygen equipment at the Buckingham drinking water plant because the submission was incomplete and partially filled out. The city will launch a new call for tenders at a later date.
