Curbing and abatement nudge new Espanola Fire hall over budget

The final costs are nearly all in for the building of the new Espanola fire hall and the demolishment of the old.

The project was budgeted at $2,328,200, but has gone over by some $60,000.

Of that, nearly $38,000 is for the building permit, which is not a cash outlay, but an interdepartmental charge.

The remaining overage of just over $22,000 reflects change orders issued mostly for asbestos abatement of the old hall and parking area requirements including new curbs for access to all four bays.

The only outstanding costs left are phone and Internet installation and service.

Almost all the costs are covered through reserve funds.
