TORONTO, June 25, 2015 /CNW/ - Bird Construction Inc. announced today that it is part of the Chinook Resource Management Group consortium that has executed a contract to design, build, finance and operate a composting facility for The City of Calgary.  Bird Capital has a 50% interest in the concession responsible, under a direct contract with The City, for the design, build, financing and operation of the facility.  The design and construction will be performed by Nason Contracting Group (a wholly owned subsidiary of Bird Construction lnc.) in a 50% joint venture with Maple Reinders Inc.  On May 22, 2015 Bird announced that it was part of the consortium selected as the preferred proponent for the project.  Since that announcement, the consortium has achieved financial close.
