Liberty Contract Management, contract manager for the project, supplied a budget estimate of $2,759,090.00 for the project in December 2005. This estimate was brought up to $3,200,000.00 to allow for the purposes of the 2006 budget to allow for projected inflationary cost increases. From 2006 to the present, the plans have been further refined to include all relevant costs. The updated cost for the project in 2008 dollars including all relevant components is now estimated to be $5,771,734. From 2005 when the project was first brought forward to Council, to the present, the estimated costs for this project have risen $2.6M, mainly due to inflation in the construction industry.
