The Town of High River has awarded the contract for concrete slab work at the curling rink and leisure ice at the Bob Snodgrass Recreation Complex.
Mayor Craig Snodgrass says the delay turned out to be a positive thing.
"When we put it out to tender we got a lot better bids coming back, we got more bids and a lot more competitive pricing than we did last year so we're back on budget with that project and we've got a good contractor that'll get going on it right away."
The contract was awarded to Prologic Construction Limited.
The Town says at a minimum, the scope of the Curling and Leisure Slab Replacement includes the design, supply, and installation of slab replacement, reinstallation/modification of arena dasher boards to accommodate the new design, install fit-for-purpose flooring outside of the field of play, including the stairs on the curling side and the arena player’s bench and to include barrier-free access to the surface.'
Work will begin in April and while it's going on the rest of the building will be open for full use.
The new slab will have a 40-year life expectancy.
