AG - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, August 9, 1995 Out & About Five floors for mega-clinic | THE ON again off again fifth floor of the Park Ave. Medical Centre is back on again. Dr. Bill Redpath says the doctors joining together ta build the clinic, after some del iberation, have decided to make it a five-storey building. Foundation work is presently underway, with fill arriving this week. Work appears to be moving slowly because of the complicated un- derground work in preparation for the building’s elevators. “Once we get to ground level the’ thing- will suddenly seem to sprout,’’: Redpath said. ‘‘We’ll have, the roof on in October and we're ~ on schedule to move in next February.’ ia More than 20 doctors’ and specialists, are expected to move into the centre from the city’s two big existing clinics... And Redpath\says that number is. continuing to climb, because the. clinic is helping attract some new specialists to town...

Redpath says plans to place a private X-ray lab i in the new clinic ap- pear to be stalled by the health ministry. “It would be very convenient for both the doctors and patients to _have it in the same building,” Redpath said. ‘‘But the government is not at all keen on granting an ry licence to any. private facility where they don’t perceive a nee ld - Rupert grain layoffs. — 47.

John Ryan made the comment heading into negotiations to take over maintenance on the Burns Lake area highways. Nechako Northcoast also has to the one here, Both of these contracts are in the two-year range but the 54- Month proposed Lakes district term is much better, said Ryan. “‘There’s the chance for. better. planning’ and for. the employees is more. stable because they don't have to worry who their employer is going to be,’’ he said. That 54-month term-in the Lakes district is to be the norm when all other contracts come up - forrenewal. ; . the contract for the Smithers- — Hazelton-Stewart area in addition Maintenance companies are permitted to have a maximum of “three contract arcas. Ji Ryan said having one company undertake more than one contract in the same region results in that region’s highways having the. same general standards. ° There are some equipment and other efficiencies as well, he added. Nechako Northcoast. was chosen as the highways minis- try’s preferred bidder for the Lakes district over current’ con- tractor Lakes District Maintenance. The highways ministry says it wants to have the Burns Lake contract in place by fall, = Should Nechako Northcoast sign a deal, its annual contract amounts over the three areas will bein the $20 million-plus range.“--- Ironically, Nechako had the -- Smithers contract when highway’ maintenance first went private in. oe 1987 but lost out to Lakes District.
