[3:03] I'm sorry so welcome everyone
[3:05] without further ado we will
[3:07] proceed to the adoption of the agenda
[3:09] so concerning that the agenda
[3:10] respects the rules relating to the
[3:13] internal governance of the meetings of the municipal council
[3:15] of the city of chroucher that all
[3:17] members of the municipal council have taken
[3:19] note of the agenda from here
[3:21] after and which was contained in the life
[3:23] of convocation and who renounces its
[3:25] reading. Given that the order of the day has been
[3:28] submitted, I would need a
[3:30] proposer. I will propose Mr. [
[3:32] Name],
[3:33] so Mr. Patrick Sanguer proposes
[3:35] to adopt the order of the
[3:36] extraordinary session of June 22, 2026 as
[3:39] submitted. You agree, so there is
[3:41] no request for a vote. It is adopted
[3:42] unanimously.
[3:43] We will now move on to item 4, which is: I
[3:46] will now give the floor to Mr. [Name],
[3:48] pleasure, granting of an
[3:51] asphalt service contract in the amount of 39467
[3:55] and 75,
[3:57] considering the need to redo
[3:58] the asphalt in front of the entrance to the
[4:00] leisure park following the incident that occurred
[4:04] during the week of June 15.
[4:06] Considering that the city has identified
[4:08] various locations for Saintaché road for
[4:10] a similar intervention, either facing
[4:13] 476
[4:14] 506 and 529 Saint-Eachilé. Considering the
[4:18] submission filed by the company
[4:20] Pavage SM for the execution of
[4:23] all the work in the total amount
[4:25] of 39467
[4:27] and 75.
[4:29] Considering that this expenditure is in
[4:30] accordance with the provisions of regulation
[4:32] number 663-26
[4:35] on contract management that it
[4:37] can be carried out on a negotiated basis. Therefore
[4:40] , I propose to accept the
[4:43] bid submitted by the
[4:45] paving company SM for the execution of the
[4:47] asphalt work in front of the entrance to the
[4:49] recreation park as well as in the places
[4:51] identified on Saintchué Road. to award
[4:54] for this purpose a contract to the company
[4:56] paragant of 39467
[4:59] and 75 before tax to authorise the
[5:02] director of public works Mr
[5:04] Dave Tremblé to take all steps
[5:06] and assign all documents necessary for the
[5:08] realization of this resolution.
[5:11] THANKS. So there is no request for a
[5:13] vote. It was adopted unanimously. We
[5:15] have reached point 5 of the
[5:16] question period.
[5:23] Good morning, Mr. Mayor. Hello everyone
[5:24] .
[5:26] Um, I wanted to know what kind of
[5:27] work is going to be done under
[5:29] the road, the infrastructure. Yes, you're going to
[5:32] put the fat one there, but I want to
[5:33] know what's going to be done
[5:34] underneath.
[5:35] First, they will
[5:36] repair it, which means they will remove
[5:38] what is currently present and
[5:40] then they will resurface the
[5:43] path. So there is no
[5:45] major infrastructure to redo the entire
[5:47] roadway and it is really a
[5:49] surface that is done considering that the
[5:53] thaw period has passed and on a
[5:56] day that will not rain, it is certain because it
[5:58] must not rain while
[5:58] the work is being done, this is the work
[6:00] that will be done.
[6:02] OK.
[6:04] Second question, can I go right away
[6:05] for the second one?
[6:06] Yes.
[6:08] Why isn't this done
[6:10] internally since
[6:13] we only have the equipment for over-sales? Yes, it's
[6:14] the equipment we don't have and then it's the
[6:16] driver too, it's a beer we
[6:18] call so it's a device where we
[6:20] unload the room inside if we want.
[6:22] It's extended and then a thickness which is
[6:24] to put that so it makes a
[6:26] larger surface, it's not extended to the ru
[6:28] so it does a good job in reality,
[6:30] it makes a better repair bing
[6:34] conductor which is at distribution which is
[6:36] capable of driving the device.
[6:39] THANKS.
[6:42] Hello advisor, regarding the
[6:47] control and approval, was it
[6:49] by invitation or invitations
[6:52] made by Mr. Tremble? There were
[6:53] no invitations that were made by invitation. Yes, it was just an
[6:55] invitation; it's
[6:57] really two different terms.
[6:59] Yeah, I understand. But what I mean is
[7:00] , is it in the sense that
[7:05] you called someone from the
[7:07] company and then gave them the
[7:08] contract?
[7:09] You want to know if there was more than
[7:10] one person who
[7:10] Yeah, well that's it, it's because again
[7:12] just to have better prices
[7:13] when you have
[7:16] several quotes.
[7:17] It was done there. We consult people,
[7:18] we look at people who are
[7:20] able to do it in the cases
[7:21] we need. We look at the people who are
[7:23] available, we evaluate the
[7:25] costs that are being done and requested at
[7:26] that time, and we see that it is definitely the
[7:28] person who will meet our needs at the
[7:33] lowest price, that's for sure. At the
[7:34] same time,
[7:36] several people who have been following, I don't have
[7:38] the details of this
[7:40] element,
[7:43] we will be able to verify it.
[7:46] The approach is not to save money. The
[7:48] approach is made in the sense that there are
[7:50] always
[7:52] companies that are
[7:55] capable of doing this work. I
[7:57] think there were two or three
[7:58] companies in the Quebec City area that
[8:00] are in the process of doing so. That's the
[8:01] information I had. So, the
[8:03] checks were carried out in that
[8:05] direction. I have another question.
[8:07] Yeah. The subject is, why isn't it
[8:10] announced on the city's website that
[8:12] you're looking for
[8:14] someone to do this type of work?
[8:17] We're taking note of that, and it might be
[8:18] something to develop further
[8:19] because we've just learned that there's
[8:22] a special meeting, and all we
[8:25] know is that there's an amount to be spent on this, we don't know
[8:26] where, we don't know if anyone was
[8:29] interested, who was able to participate, or who was
[8:31] n't invited
[8:33] because, normally, the website and
[8:35] calls for tenders should be the same.
[8:39] But not this kind of call for tenders
[8:40] because, in reality, it's
[8:43] less than 125,000. So we didn't issue a formal
[8:45] call for tenders for
[8:47] that. However, some
[8:50] companies have been contacted and
[8:52] the money is already allocated in the
[8:54] budget. There are already funds allocated over the years
[8:56] for reflection,
[8:58] and for large areas where we
[8:59] wanted to make a good repair, that's why we're here
[9:01] to give
[9:02] control. That's why we're going to hold
[9:03] a meeting tonight
[9:05] to vote on the resolution to give
[9:06] control. It's
[9:09] as if it's not very
[9:10] transparent. We agree, that's your
[9:13] opinion [clears throat] for
[9:13] transparency, but all
[9:15] the administrative procedures are
[9:17] done in accordance with the fines and the
[9:20] rules that we were asked to follow. We're not going to go against
[9:22] that, otherwise it would be
[9:24] the opposite of what we're used to, as they say. No no
[9:27] , all the rules are in place,
[9:28] there is transparency. Well, if we can
[9:31] possibly make requests or
[9:33] register them, we'll see how it
[9:34] works. I cannot answer that
[9:36] point. I am not informed enough
[9:37] to know what the process was regarding the
[9:39] obligations that were fulfilled during
[9:41] that time. And it's certain that when we
[9:43] call upon entrepreneurs, whatever
[9:44] the reasons, we always
[9:46] call upon all the entrepreneurs
[9:48] who have already offered their service or
[9:50] whom we know who provide the services
[9:51] at the same time in order to offer it to as many
[9:53] people as possible so as not to favor
[9:55] one person over another. That's
[9:57] it. That's clear.
[9:59] THANKS.
[10:02] So there are no other questions?
[10:04] As the question period is
[10:05] over, we proceed to the session on
[10:07] the year of the session. It is noted that
[10:08] all the items on the agenda were
[10:09] discussed. I propose, sir
[10:13] [laughs]
[10:16] thank you very much to everyone present.
[10:19] It's
