SUBJECT: Construction of Sewer Carrier Pipe
Under Mary Hill Bypass at Pitt River Road

UNCIL

RECOMMENDATION:

That the tender for the construction of carrier pipe be awarded to Bel
Construction Ltd. for the jump sum price of $16,992.00.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Earlier in the year, Counci| approved the construction of a carrier pipe
on Pitt River Road under the Mary Hill Bypass Highway to carry the sewer which wil|
be installed to service the south Pitt River Road area. The sewer is a Development
Cost Charge project paid for exclusively by the developers of land in the south
Pitt River Road area. Preliminary arrangements with the developers of one large

parcel are that the whole sewer will be installed and front-ended by that developer
to be recovered later ‘on trom other developers. The carrier pipe was approved by
Council because it is necessary to [Install it prior to paving of the Mary Hil
Bypass.

Council initially approved the sum of $9,000 to be spent on this project
out of the Unallocated Sewer Funds in the 1984 Budget. Subsequent to this approval
the final design was completed by the developer's Engineer and special conditions
were Imposed by the Ministry of Highways. It became obvious that not only could we
not complete the job for the budgeted $9,000 but that we did not have the
capability to do the work because of the depth of construction, the type of
materlal present, and the need for well points to dewater the site during
construction. We have however already purchased the pipe at a cost of about
$4,000. Tenders-were called for the installation of the pipe and two were received
in the amounts of $16,992.00 for Bel Construction and $18,100.00 for Miller

Construction.

The original 1984 Budget atlowed for $100,000 for Unallocated Capital
Sewer Construction. Of this amount, $9,000 was allocated originally for the
carrier pipe construction and $7,500 is requested for the flow measuring equipment
discussed in another report. If Council! approves this recommendation, It would be
necessary to allocate another $12,000 to the installation.
