Why did the city approve Tomlinson(Ottawa) over local contractors for the Princess st Big Dig this summer?
Isn’t it strange that Tomlinson was approved over all other contractors, including local companies for the Princess St work (starting at Divison)
It’s my understanding that Local contractors underbid them by around $4,000,000.00… but the work was awarded to Tomlinson, an out of town contractor.
Just seems wildly shady, to accept a big $4M above local companies… $4 Million goes a long way… entire city blocks can be restored and repaved for this mark up….
Does anyone know how/why this happened?
