Alright you guys, don’t forget to share the candy!
We’ve seen GCs hire out competing GCs for sub trades before. Sometimes that’s the most efficient way to spread out labour in a tight labour market, maybe?
Ok ok, bidders are:
EllisDon - generally hated in town and everyone I talk to hates them. Personally I think don't stand a chance to get it. I'll leave it at that.
ITC Farmer JV - everyone knows Farmer. ITC built those 2 towers down by fishermans wharf and the Ross Place seniors home. ITC is owned by Pomerleau which of course built the McKenzie overpass, have the jetty contract on the base and the Colquitz overpass addition on the Trans Canada.
Times have changed, there are several stand alone formwork companies in town now when there wasn't that many years ago. Years ago if you needed a formwork sub you needed to hire a competing GC like Farmer or Campbell
