From the bid document the estimated starting date is July 29. Contractor must start within 10 working days from the date of instruction to start. Work must be complete within 40 working days.
That's actually a much later schedule than was originally planned. We were told that July it would be in progress, and early August it would be finished. Pretty sad to see so much slip on this project.
You want to see our regional government in action, this pilot was planned to be implemented last year, and it was supposed to take 8-10 months from inception to completion. Here we are 22 months later and we're still potentially going to miss (school) summer as a deadline. The City of Kitchener planned a protected pilot that was started in January, and AFAIK it is on track to be rolled out July of this year (7 months). The Regional delays actually cost us access to upper government funding. I do believe the city project is perhaps more frantic, and certainly has a few fewer elements too it, but even at the city level, I am hearing from staff that the region is putting constraints on them that are making the project worse.
