Petawawa is gearing up for the upcoming winter season. In a recent town council meeting, Chris from the public works department provided an extensive update on snow plowing and equipment preparations for the 2023-2024 season.
The snow plowing contract for the upcoming winter season was awarded to H&H Construction Inc. after a thorough evaluation of bidder capacity, with concerns about the lowest bidder’s resources. Additionally, the equipment quotation for snow removal was assigned to Do-All Construction for the 2023-2024 season, ensuring efficient snow removal with the necessary equipment and staff.
The council approved stockpiling winter sand for 2024-2025 using a pug mill, entrusted to GP Splitter Forest Products Ltd. This innovative method improves road and sidewalk safety by ensuring a uniform mixture of sand and salt. Council members wholeheartedly support these measures, underscoring their commitment to safety and mobility during the winter season. These preparations ensure Petawawa is well-prepared for a safer, more efficient winter for residents and visitors.
