    The cost of cleaning some city owned buildings in Corner Brook has gone up 5.1 percent. At last week’s public meeting, a new two year contract was approved for K and D Commercial Maintenance Ltd at nearly $62K per year. Councillor Eddie Kennedy says only two bids were received. The contract includes cleaning of the Public Works Depot, the Fire Department and the Water Treatment Plant. Councillor Steve Perchard questioned why only two hours a week is spent on cleaning the Water Treatment Plant. Assistant Director of Engineering, Aaron O’Brien says cleaning time depends on the volume of foot traffic at each location. The current cleaning contract is set to expire November 30th.
