RECOMMENDATION:

That Dayton & Knight Ltd. be appointed as Consulting Engineers for the design, tendering and
construction supervision for the Harbour Pump Station Project, at a cost of $104,800.00

Background

The Harbour Street Pump Station was identified in the 1992 "Southeast Industrial Area .
Drainage Study" as being under capacity to provide adequate drainage for this catchment. This
report showed that along with some ditch improvements, an increased pumping capacity of one
cubic metre per second is needed for a total of 3.12 cms.

The design and contract preparation for this project is to be completed in 1995, with the
construction taking place in the summer of 1996.

The City invited proposals from three Consulting firms to perform the design, tendering,
contract administration and inspection of the pump station. Proposals were received from
Dayton & Knight Ltd, and Associated Engineering, with UMA declining to bid.

The two bids received were comparatively equal in most areas of the evaluation, with both
companies assigning experienced, capable staff to the project. Dayton & Knight however
appears to be more committed to analyzing alternate designs that are more cost effective.

An attached chart shows the cost breakdown of the two submissions.

Funding
The Consultant fees for this project can be taken entirely from the Area ] Drainage DCC
account. Future construction work in 1996 will be funded 33% by Drainage DCC's.
