offered to do that work on a 24
month contract which averaged
more than $200,000 per year. °

West Coast Landscaping came
in lower but at $175,000 a year

budget.

Hull pointed out the figures
were equivalent to this year’s
entire maintenance budget for the
recreation department.

They also transiated to approxi-
mately $2000 perhour,

He noted bidders had been sup-
plied a comprehensive informa-
tion package detailing how many
hours crews spent on mowing,
what figure the department in-
eluded for depreciation and the
mowing budget for previous
years.

*“*T don’t know what their mind
set was when they came up with
those figures,’’ Hull added.

Although a third bid by Turf
King came in at only $40,00 a
year, he said it had been rejected
because the bidder did not have
the equipment necessary 10 carry
out the job.

Explaining why the tender cail
went out, Hull the question of
potential cost savings had been
taised during budget discussions
and the recreation committes had
decided to a test run.

Mowing had been selected be-
cause it was easy to break the fig-
ures out from the overall budget.

said.“‘It shows the guys are doing
a good job and the department’s

Facts about KCP

The $1,3-billion Kemano Completion Project, half built when Alcan
halted construction in 1991, is on hold pending the outcome of a
public review by the B.C. Utilities Commission. This series answers,
questions that KCP information centres have received.

Q Kemano Completion is supposed to save B.C. money
* in power costs, What kind of savings are we talking
about -- and how secure are they?

A First, there’s the outright saving to B.C, Hydro: about $450 million over the
first 20 years of KCP operations. ,

The estimate comes from B.C. Hydro itself, when costs for power from KCP
are compared with costs if the same amount of electricity had to be obtained

from other sources. Costs are so low because most of Alcan’s generating -
“system is: already installed (it has been in place,: actually, for almost 40 years)
and because Kemano is such an efficient power producer. a

There are no new dams to construct and no reservairs to create; thal was all
done when Kemano went into operation. Potential for increased power
“generation was builtin from the beginning to enable Alcan to apply the.
: ‘additional water licensing that it did not use in the first phase of development.

, = ‘Considering the state of aluminum markets around the world, we have no .
~\ “immediate plans to increase aluminum production in B.C. But opportunities
~~ for-expansion will arise in the future, and we must be ready to tackle them, -

oo B.C.’ need for. more power coincides with our need to exercise the rights that
“are still appropriate under our water-use licence before those rights expire at
: the end of the century.

: A contract. for a steady supply of power hes already: been signed. None of.
. ‘that: power can be recalled by Alcan for at least 10 years; and even hen Alcan’

So BC. Hydro gains time as well as saving money. Because of KCP, tein =
