Scott said last week. “Our price was based on historical information we had on the area and on the stan- dards to be met,’’ he said. : ~ “We would not maintenance contract at the price Nechako Northcoast have,” Scott added. Northcoast had the’ c ti for three years when the’proviti- cial government first pul out maintenance services to private companies in 1988..
