The Caledon water-feature tender lists two different figures for the same successful proponent, leaving readers unable to establish a single award value from the public listing alone.

The Town’s procurement record for design-build rehabilitation and modernization of the Town Hall water feature names Arenes Construction Ltd. in both places. Its “Awarded Summary” states $145,000 excluding HST. The separate “Awarded” vendor table displays $393,500 beside the company’s name, without specifying the tax basis there.

The listing was checked October 28. It marks the procurement awarded on August 27, 2026, following publication on May 28 and a June 25 closing date. The record identifies the opportunity as NRFP # 2026-033-26-136.

What the Caledon water-feature tender establishes

The two displayed amounts are $248,500 apart. That arithmetic describes the gap between entries; it does not establish a cost increase, an overrun or a payment.

The public listing does not explain whether the figures represent different scopes, a changed contract value or an entry requiring correction. An executed agreement or a procurement report reconciling the entries would be needed to establish the applicable contract amount and its basis. Invoices or expenditure records would be needed separately to establish what has been paid.

There is also a numbering difference worth resolving before matching documents. The main listing uses 26-136, while its two addendum filenames use 25-136. The filenames alone do not explain that difference or justify linking this procurement to a separate Town Hall budget line.

Reading the record without assuming spending

Residents can inspect the free public bid details and award information through the linked record. It also lists an as-issued request, contract materials and addenda; their filenames are not substitutes for reading their contents.

The displayed amounts do not establish what work has been completed or its final cost. Until supporting records reconcile the figures, neither amount should be presented as a verified total paid for the Town Hall water feature.
