This is a reminder that the City expects that, as construction winds down for 2023, all construction sites that may have anything from minor to extensive carry-over work remaining, must be left in a safe and traversable condition for the winter. This includes all pedestrian any cycling spaces. If circumstances make this not possible, discuss a suitable plan with the CA and the City. In addition, site condition must be monitored over the winter and maintained until construction start-up in 2024. The degree of monitoring and maintenance can be discussed with your Contract Administrator.

If, with the total work an individual contractor may have remaining, there are both regional and local streets to complete, in general, the City would prioritize completion of the regional streets. If this is the case for you, please discuss with your CA(s) and the City; we do not want to over-complicate project completions.

Based on the forecast, we expect all asphalt mixes to be Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) to allow for the mixing, handling, and compaction of the asphalt. The warm mix asphalt can generally be used when the atmospheric temperature is -2°C and rising. If, during the progress of the work, the asphalt is found to be unsatisfactory to meet the CW 3410-R12, the Contractor may revise the mix design, use additional additives, or increase the cooking temperature at the plant to accommodate for the cold weather. The proposed changes shall be submitted to (the CA and Ghazy) for approval. 

If you have any questions, please discuss with your CA prior to escalating.

Manitoba Hydro’s first-ever Integrated Resource Plan is now available at hydro.mb.ca/future. This plan is a tool to help us understand and prepare for our province’s future energy needs.

What we’ve learned so far

After more than two years of work, including conversations with nearly 15,000 customers like you, here’s some of what we’ve learned:

• The energy transition is already underway in Manitoba — and natural gas is going to play a key role in getting to a low-carbon future.
• Managing the energy transition in Manitoba is critical to providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective energy for our customers, now and into the future.
• Electricity demand in our province could double in the next 20 years. New sources of generation could be needed in the next 10 years.
• We will need to make investments to meet future electricity demand.

These are just some of the report’s findings. Find out more about what we learned and what we’re planning to do to deliver Energy for Life at hydro.mb.ca/future.

“Infill housing construction” refers to construction on residential sites located in established neighbourhoods, either on existing vacant lots or with the demolition of an existing structure to accommodate the construction of a new structure. This includes single detached houses, semi-detached houses, duplexes as well as multi-unit residential complexes. Due to the proximity of infill construction sites to existing properties and structures, neighbouring properties may be impacted.

The Infill Housing Construction Information Bulletin was updated earlier this month and posted to the Information Bulletins webpage as bulletin number 2023-006-B/Z.

The Province will adopt the new Manitoba Building Code, Manitoba Plumbing Code, Manitoba Energy Code for Buildings and Manitoba Fire Code effective January 1, 2024.
