Common Council is expected to approve a staff recommendation for awarding the contract for a Fire Service Review and development of a Fifteen Year Strategic Plan at its meeting tomorrow night.

The staff report is recommending the contract be awarded to Pomax Consulting Inc for a total of $95,800 plus HST. The company was one of two bidders for the job.

The review will look at the risk profile of the community – applicable national standards – and consider the City’s financial position. Part of that outline will include looking at what services provided are core or optional – and – “if there are services better suited or economically advantageous to be done outside the fire department.”

The full staff recommendation and report can be found as part of the complete Council package here.
