ITEM II =~ Continued

The Committee looked at the accident rate in com-
parison with other intersections along the Lougheed Highway.
For the year 1979 the following accident rates apply:

Coast Meridian at Lougheed - 28, Oxford

at Lougheed - 37, Shaughnessy at Lougheed -
64, Hastings at Lougheed - 23. The accidents
for Westwood are not readily available because
part of the intersection is in the District.

From the accident rates it would not appear that there is an
unusual problem at this intersection. In fact, the worst
accident rate is at Shaughnessy which does have separate
left-turn signals.

; Under the Provincial cost-sharing formula the City
would be required to pay one-third of the cost of any signal-
ization changes at this intersection. Depending on how much
work has to be done to modify the installation, the City share
could be anywhere from $3,060 to $10,000. Even if both the
City and the Department of Highways agreed to spend the money
to modify the signal, there is no guarantee that the accident
rate would be reduced and even a possibility that it might
increase. Therefore, the Committee recommends that we do
not apply for left-turn signals at the intérsection.

ITEM III

Re: Tenders for Dyke Pumps

The consultants doing the design of the pumping stations
at Dominion and Harbour Street have tendered the supply of the
pumps and motors for the two locations. A copy of the tender
evaluation sheet and the consultant's recommendation is attached.
There were three acceptable tenders ranging in price from $43,319
to $70,095. The lowest tender is from Wilron Equipment Ltd.
which supplied the equipment for the Cedar Drive pumping station.
The tendered price is well within our budget as our estimate for
the two pumps totalled $57,000.

The Committee recommends that the contract for supply
of the these two pumps be placed with Wilron Equipment Ltd. in
accordance with the specifications and the tender received.
