Holdup comes as mediation narrows gap between union and management on wages.
The City of Ottawa's new Stadler FLIRT train system, which is slated to run on the Trillium Line.
"Really the hold up here is to get that permanent power, so we can continue commissioning of the station," said Michael Morgan, director of the city's rail construction program."We had some mitigation measures, in terms of putting up a temporary generator that we can use to commission the electrical systems, but at the end of the day, to put a system into service, we want permanent power to the stations.
It is unclear who will pay for the generator and how much it will cost. As of now, there is no decision on whether more than one generator will be needed. When asked whether the city or the contractor will be on the hook for the bill, city media relations answered it was yet to be determined. "The day started out great," said Hall. "Of course, the goal of a mediator is to get both sides to move a little bit, and he certainly did. Both sides did move."
