Not the entire 100 kilometres has dips in it. Some parts of the highway are straight and we are not going to be working on that, but with the four-year money we will be doing about 20 kilometres total where we will be taking the dips, only in Highway No. 3, out. Also, each year we also have maintenance and we do regular maintenance on that road. So as we reconstruct with the Building Canada Plan money, we are also maintaining those sections, as well, so the rest of the 100 kilometres to make sure that it remains a good surface that we are going to bring to these areas to a state that we are...
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are expecting the majority of the construction to be in 2017-18. So, at the end of that fiscal year the building should be ready for occupation.
For the carry-over numbers, that’s one I’d like to ask the deputy to provide the information.
It was deemed that it was not efficient to continue to run the sweeper. We go through the Department of Public Works and Services, we go through the regular disposal process with the sweeper.
This is part of bundle number one, the first four years of reconstruction on Highway No. 3. The plans that I talked about just previously was this fiscal year and also in bundle three it closes the gap and it finishes off the rest of the bundle and this would mean that there would be six more years of this type of construction on Highway No. 3 between here and Behchoko.
The 85,000 square feet is actual vacancy space and about 52,000 of that would be the one building, the Bellanca Building. What we thought the Member had asked for was the vacancy. So, if the Member wishes to have the number of what percentage of leased space versus the owned space and how much of that is vacant, we can provide that number.
Thank you. I would say 42 percent.
Our current sweeper is 19 years old. We have budgeted $250,000 to replace that sweeper.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We’re scheduled for this budget embankment improvements, kilometre 275 to 278, from 279 to 280, involving straightening and surface prep; drainage improvements and install culverts at kilometre 275, 276, 277, 279, and 279.6; crushing aggregate production at kilometre 285; chipseal kilometre 275 to 278 and 279 to 280.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is tenant improvements. The landlord will be paying for this. This would be an in and out expenditure.
