Lamont road project hit by cost overruns
A major road construction project, currently underway for 51 St. in Lamont, has hit some snags that are not only delaying completion, but have increased the cost by more than $100,000.
Neil Renneberg, project manager for Select Engineering, in addition to director of Operations and Infrastructure (public works) for the Town of Lamont, presented Lamont Town Council with an updated budget for the project during their July 14 council meeting.
He said the crew were surprised by the severely degraded conditions of the existing infrastructure during both the road and underground portions of the project which have brought the original cost from $653 400 to more than $765 000.
“We had contingency built into the budget for unforeseen items,” said Renneberg, “but our hope of being able to salvage some of the existing infrastructure was thwarted by what’s there.”

A number of structurally unstable items were discovered, including sanitary manholes with rusted ladder rungs; shallow utility crossings, primarily gas and phone, that are conflicting with the road construction; no gravel base beneath existing concrete sidewalks which have caused severe cracks; existing concrete curbs with large sections that were poured without a form causing the gutter pan to severely deteriorate; sanitary sewer mains with severe structural cracks; and storm sewer catch basin leads being structurally unstable. In addition, potentially contaminated soil near Price Automotive has also been taken for testing. Results are still pending.
“In terms of the contaminated soil, we’re not talking about a large amount of dirt. The area we are excavating is only a couple of feet deep,” said Renneberg. “If we do need to dispose of it separately, we will need to have it tested so we know exactly what that material is and dispose of it. We haven’t had any indication that there is an issue, but the concern came from someone who is knowledgeable about how things were done in the 90s so we have to take that information seriously.”
Councillor Perry Koroluk was puzzled as to how these issues were not known beforehand.
