consistent with the lower mainland Master Municipal Specifications and
covers all sections of the required work.

Approvals

As soon as drawings are available, these will be forwarded to B.C.
Hydro and to the Ministry of Environment, Water Management
Branch, for approval. B.C. Hydro will be required to supply power
to this project and therefore our electrical designer will coordinate the
work with this utility company.

Associated Engineering recognize the requirement to obtain approval -
under the Water Act for this project. Our staff will prepare and submit
an application to B.C. Environment on bebalf of the City. This
application will be submitted as soon as possible within the design
process and may be based on preliminary design drawings. By
submitting this application early in the project, we shall endeavour to
obtain the approvals in a timely manner, to offset the possibility the

' schedule of construction will be adversely affected by timing

restrictions within the permit.

We have assumed B.C. Environment will .not require the City to
construct ary environmental compensation works as a result of this
pump station. We have therefore made no provision. in our proposal
to engage an environmental subconsultant. Should the Ministry require
compensation works to be constructed, it would be necessary for us.to
engage a specialist to complete this extra work and request an increase
in fees for this additional service. .

Quantities and Cost Estimates

At the completion of the detailed design, Associated Engineering will
complete a detailed quantity takeoff for the proposed structure and
prepare a cost estimate for the City.
