THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM MEMORANDUM TO: B. Kirk, January 6, 1982 City Administrator FROM: F.E. Peters, City Engineer SUBJECT: Consultants for Change Room in Thompson Park RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the hiring of Choukalos Woodburn McKenzie Maranda Ltd., Consulting Engineers, to provide design and specification services in accordance with their attached proposal at a fee not to exceed $2,200. BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS: pson Park is not wi as an Engineer. Although I have done the work for the proposed building, the drawings. I also am not com specifications for the structura parts of the work. ations are required to protect the City ractor on the work. I have requested a proposal from Choukalos Woodburn McKenzie Maranda Ltd. because they did satisfactory work on the renovations to the No. 1 Fire Hall two years ago. They have agreed to review my plans, make any necessary changes, and provide specifications and then to put their seal on the drawings. The size of the project is such that it is not worth going for proposals to a number of Engineers. Since we will be paying only the hourly rate for the required number of hours to do the work up to a maximum limit of $2,200, I have no hesitation in recommending that this firm be hired to do the job. The firm has agreed to complete the job so that tenders can be called in February and construction start in March for completion in early spring. — 3 conan) Hen BA GB2 ee ?
