RE: Ice Rink - Senior Citizens Complex

As a result of the bids received for the construction of an ice rink and senior
citizens facility the Architects have recommended acceptance of the bid of Radcliffe
and Sons in the amount of $1,058,000. This places the total construction costs

of all facilities including the contract of Rossi Construction for the swinming

pool complex and the ice arena complex at a total of $2,223,600. With fees and
City work on the site the total for the project will be in the neighbourhood of
$2,400,000. at approximately $500,000. from our original estimates.

Application has been made for an additional grant from the Recreation Facilities
Fund in the amount of $333,000. An acknowledgement of this application is attached.
In addition the Committee has made application to the Provincial Secretary's office
for a $40,000. grant towards the senior citizens housing facility. Application for
the grant has been acknowledged and it has been forwarded to their committee for

approval. These grants, when approved, will help to offset increased construction
costs.

The Committee therefore recommends that the tender submitted by Radcliffe and Sons
Construction offering to construct an ice skating arena and senior citizens facility
in the City of Port Coquitlam for a net price of $1,058,000. be accepted and that
the Mayor and the Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary construction contract
referred to in the tender document and such other plans, documents or receipts as

may be necessary therefor on behalf of the City and to fix the corporate seal
thereto,
