Contractor Introduction and Project Start Details

The City of Kitchener has awarded Sierra Bridge Inc. the contract for rehabilitation work on a Culverts on Stirling Avenue South and Courtland Avenue East. Construction is scheduled to start on/or about July 10, 2023 with an anticipated completion on/or about October 31, 2023.

The City of Kitchener has retained an Engineering Consultant WSP to act as Project Manager for this project and they should be your first point of contact should you have any questions, concerns or require special access to your residence during construction. Their contact information can be found in the contact list provided at the end of this letter. However, as the City Project Manager Licinio Costa remains a key point of contact; contact information has been provided in the contact list. A Construction Inspector will be on site daily while the contractor is working. Should you have any questions or concerns while the work is in progress, the Construction Inspector can be identified by the white hardhat and can be approached at any time or contacted using the number provided in the contact list. Should you experience an after-hours emergency, please contact the 24 hour Contact Centre at 519-741-2345.

You may feel some vibrations during the routine operation of construction equipment; however, studies have shown that these vibrations are much less severe than the vibration level likely to cause structural damage. We do recommend that you remove light, fragile or delicate objects from shelves when construction activity is taking place adjacent to your property.

During construction most of the time access will be open, maybe intermittent closure for a short period, pedestrian walkway access will be maintained through the site.

Should you experience any problems during construction, please contact the Project Manager immediately who will address or direct your concern to the contractor if needed. If immediate action is needed, such as an issue with your services and City Staff or Representatives are not immediately available, you are welcome to contact the contractor directly.

Should situations arise during or after this construction project, the following contact information and telephone numbers are provided for your convenience.
