COUNCIL

MEMORANDUM SEP 27 1982

8. Kirk, September 22, 1982
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters., P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Construction of Intersection of
Shaughnessy/Wilson/Marpole

RECOMMENDATION:

That the budget for. the intersection improvements at
the Shaughnessy/Wilson/Marpole intersection be increased from
$53,000 to $70,000 to allow for reconstruction of some paved
areas and that. the additional funds be taken From the Future

Capital Reserve. .

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The design for this intersection improvement has now
been completed. It is apparent that some sections of the
intersection have to be dug out and completely reconstrueted in
order to provide an adequate base for the Pavement overlay. A
Final estimate prepared from the detailed design drawings
indicates a total expenditure of about $70,000 including the
proposed reconstruction and all the necessary curbing,
sidewalks, utility relocations, and re~landscaping. As this is
$17,600 higher than. our preliminary estimate prepared last
year, we will not be proceeding with the work until Council has

approved the expenditure of the additional funds.

The Treasurer suggests that the additional funds can
be allocated from the Future Capital Reserve.’ There will be
surpluses in sume of the projects being done this year which
will allow replenishment of the Future Capitel Reserve at the

end of the year.
