Provincial government announces the roster of approved projects under COMRIF Intake One

On April 25th, 2005, the provincial government announced the roster of approved projects under COMRIF Intake One. TSH assisted in the preparation of forty-one Intake One applications, by either submitting directly on behalf of municipalities or by providing technical resources for municipalities to complete project applications. Of the number of applications that TSH was involved in, twenty projects have been selected by COMRIF for Intake One, with a total eligible project amount of $32.9 Million. This translates into a success rate of approximately 50 per cent for TSH, compared to the overall Provincial success rate of 30 per cent.

The list of funded projects for which TSH played a role in the application, includes upgrades to sewage treatment plants and collection systems, improvements to roadways and rehabilitation or replacement of bridges and culverts. On behalf of the municipalities who have received funding for their projects, TSH will be undertaking the design assignment, including any necessary Federal and Provincial environmental assessments, submissions for approvals and permits, contract administration and resident inspection of the works, etc.

We expect that details will be forthcoming for Intake Two, with an expected application deadline during the Fall, 2005. TSH is well qualified to provide the support needed to complete the project proposal, the supporting business case, the technical documentation, and the required application forms.
