Many very qualified local taxpaying developers, general contractors and subcontractors unable to bid on this project due to The Region's labour status.
Only those who are associated with the carpenters union can participate.
It's a shame, but I guess the Region has tons of your money to spend on this project, the new bus facility in North Waterloo and now a renovation at the old courthouse for the police.
See page 40 of the open and fair RFP for the details.
Hamilton has the same status and is paying on average 20 % more for all of their projects
