ITEM I

Re: Shaughnessy Underpass

._ The following report was made to Council in the
January 28th, 1977 Public Works Committee Report:

"It is apparent that proper maintenance work is
required for the road surface at the Shaughnessy Underpass.
A proposal has been developed to plane and remove a two-inch
depth of asphaltic concrete for a length of approximately
280 lineal feet and repave with a two-inch lift of asphaltic
concrete for a distance of approximately 700 lineal feet.

It is intended that this work will be carried out during
off-peak traffic hours at night and it would mean that the
underpass would be closed to traffic for one evening. This
work will cost $8,420.00 and it is intended to charge the
cost to Account No. 232311- Roadway Surfaces ~- Paved".

i
:

As a result of further investigation the contractor now advises
us that the scheme outlined in January will possibly not work
and the contractor has recommended instead that excavation,
back£il1l and paving would be more appropriate at an additional
cost of approximately $2,000.00. The Committee feels that this
work should now not be proceeded with this year because:

1. The nature of the proposal has changed to the
point where tenders should be called.

SATIN ad SL earned ato tea

2. The continuing uncertainties and difficulties
with traffic movements resulting from the Lougheed ilighway
Widening Project suggest that this would be a bad year to
undertake this work. The committee will be placing this work
in the 1978 Budget submission.

Respectfully submitted,

JA. Seek .
