Nanaimo-Info-blog: Old Theatre On Chapel Street Demolished

No Longer A Public Safety Hazard
The old building that once housed a cinema on Chapel Street, and in more recent years a church is a mere pile of rubble waiting to now be hauled away.

The contract to demolish the old building went to Milner Contracting for a tendered price of $231,231 even though Saywell Contracting also submitted a tender for $181,111 but apparently lost the bid on a technicality about the bid bond.

Saywell was under the impression that a certified cheque would have satisfied the performance bond, when in fact the tender called for a bid bond.

In any case $231,131.00 seems like a pretty lucrative contract given how long it would take a large machine to flatten this type of structure and haul it away in trucks.
