Re: Alterations to No. 1 Firehall

Several months ago Council authorized the City
Administrator to proceed to tender on the alterations to
Firehall No. 1 in order to allow the use of the western bay
for. the new fire truck. The original estimated cost was
from $12,000 to $15,000.

‘
We have now had a proper design done by a structural

engineer and have tendered the work. There was very little
interest from contractors on this job and, in fact, we only
received one tender. The tender was from Schellenberg Con-~
struction of Port Coquitlam for $14,590. Mr. Schellenberg
estimates that he could start the work within one week and
that it would take approximately two weeks for him to complete
the work.

As an alternative, our.own crews estimate that we
could complete the work for $13,500. However, we would not
be able to start until mid September and completion would take

approximately one month.

I have talked to the Fire Chief and he feels that the
delay in completion of this work would not be critical. TI
would therefore recommend that the City do the work with its
ewn forces at an estimated cost of $13,500.
