Six bidders
advance for
Kincolith road

HIGHWAYS MINISTRY
officials have begun the
complex task of evaluating
six companies who want
the $30 million contract to
build a road to Kincolith in
the Nass Valley.

That's just under half of
the 14 firms who each paid
$1,000 last month to at-
tend a briefing session for
the road project.

“] figured we'd get
about 50 per cent of the 14
contractors who regis-
tered,” said highways offi-
cial Dave St. Thomas in
adding there should not be
a problem in selecting a
qualified company from

Talking technology

TECHNOLOGY will be
the focus of a forum orga-
nized this weekend by the
Terrace Economic Deve-
lopment Authority,

The one-day Northwest
B.C. Business Technology
Forum on April | includes
three panel discussions ta
help identify tech solutions
involving administration,
business-to-business and
sales and marketing issues.

Panelists ‘include a
number of local entrepre-
neurs who have put tech-
nology to work. for them,
plus keynote speaker

Steve Dotto of the TV
show Datto’s Data Cafe.

“What we’re trying to
do is simply raise the pro-
file of technology possibi-
lities for local businesses
in northwest B.C,” said
TEDA executive director
Ken Veldman.

“In a relatively isolated
region like northwest B.C.,
e-commerce is probably
the biggest opportunity —
and the biggest threat — fa-
cing local business.”

Make sure you.and your business
are part of the solution.

For details:

the six who submitted an
expression of interest.

Each is now being rated
out of a possible 100
points and the goal is now
to choose three who will
be asked to submit more
detailed proposals.

St. Thomas expects the
short list to be completed
next week.

The rating system
evaluates companies by
their experience, manage-
tial expertise, environ-
mental management and
native participation in the
Nass Valley.

That latter rating, as
well as how each company
says it will include north-

weslern subcontractors, is
considered important in
terms of spreading regional
socio-economic benefits.

St. Thomas said the
three short listed compa-
nics will have about a
month to submit detailed
proposals for the project.

“We could have a pre-
ferred partner in late July
or early August,” he said,

Once chosen the com-
pany will have three years
to complete the job.

Some. work may even
be started by this Septem-
ber or October, depending
upon whatever work plan
the contractor develops,
said St. Thomas.

The first five kilometres
of the 29-kilometre road
has already been built to a
logging road standard.

The rest isn’t built and
involves navigating some
extremely rugged country
to connect road to the iso-
lated village of Kincelith.

The ministry has spent
about $3.5 million of the
$30 million budget already
on engineering and envir-
onmental work,

The road extension is
separate from the ongoing
$41 million upgrade and
paving of the entire
Nisga’a Highway, expec-
ted to take seven years,
