Council Considers RFP for Coney Wharf

Kenora City Council will vote next week whether to seek a request for proposals for a new wharf at Coney Island.

Operations manager Rick Perchuck was an underwater inspection shows the crib docks at Coney are in very poor shape.

He admits it could cost over 250 thousand dollars to replace the current structure.

Kenora mayor Dave Canfield suggests the city should approach local contractors who specialize
in docks to come up with a quote for the work and not bother with an engineering study of the wharf.
