Maher's Contracting's Port de Grave award grew from CAD 1,547,256 to CAD 1,763,368 through two published monetary amendments. Public Accounts separately present CAD 1,533,364 as both amount contracted and expenditure to date and mark the contract completed in 2022-23.

Completion is confirmed at contract level

CanadaBuys reports the award and amendment values and dates. The official bid package defines the 50-week term, integrated scope and drawings. Public Accounts lists the amount contracted and expenditure fields and marks completion with note f. The approximately 1.15 ratio is an arithmetic reconciliation consistent with HST; Public Accounts does not label it as tax.

The amendment chain and completion ledger reconcile

Existing-wharf demolition, treated-timber cribwork, concrete deck, dredging and rock removal, scour protection, drainage, water, electrical and waste-oil systems sit inside one operating-harbour package. CanadaBuys exposes the commercial sequence while Public Accounts closes the contract-status gap. Their approximately 1.15 ratio is consistent with HST treatment, so adding the two ledgers would double-count one contract.

Evidence conclusion

Accepted quantities and lower tiers remain open

The Receiver General applies note f, defined as contract completed, and reports expenditure to date equal to its amount-contracted field. That supports completed status, but it does not prove every tender quantity was installed or accepted. The decisive remaining records are final bathymetry, PSPC cleared-area survey, as-built crib and deck geometry, approved change descriptions, utility commissioning, harbour reopening and the names of dredging, blasting, timber, concrete and electrical lower tiers.
