Culverts planned for Woy Woy Rd
Gosford Council will construct stormwater culverts in Woy Woy Rd at Bulls Hill early next month.
The work includes the supply and replacement of seven culvert crossings, upgrade of headwalls and scour protection facilities, installation of kerb and guttering and associated works along Woy Woy Rd.
The work is expected to take nine weeks.
Council resolved on June 23 to accept the tender of Synergy Resource Management to undertake the work.
The North Sydney company was recommended by the director of corporate services Mr Nic Pasternatsky as the tender with "the most positive benefits to council".
His report stated: "The company is experienced in large stormwater projects in extremely busy locations where traffic management plays a key role.
"Recent major contracts carried out by this company are as follows: The Sam Fishman Memorial Park, North Bondi for Waverley Council; The White City Remediation for Sydney Grammar College; and The Woolwich Car Park Construction, Remediation and Landscaping for The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust."
The estimated cost of the project is more than $307,000.
According to the council report, $300,000 had been allocated to the project in the March Budget Review and the final cost of the project would be reconciled in a further Budget Review once the work was completed.
