Dear Sir:

Re: dustice Building Alterations
Communications Centre

IT refer to the letter received from your City Clerk
dated November 18, 1981 and to the apparent approval given
by your Council to share in the cost up to approximately
$21,000 of a total $60,000 cost of the above noted alterations.

I have, for some time, been warking with the architect
who has called for and received proposals for carrying out the
work. Hard negotiations have been pursued and despite the
efforts, it is necessary to obtain approval for an increase in
the appropriation to ensure completion. I.enclose herewith
a copy of the letter dated February 19, 1982 received from
Carlberg Jackson Partners, Architects.

Today I met with Mr. Ken Webber of the architectural
firm and with Mr. Ken Funk, who would be acting on behalf of
the construction managers. They have indicated to me

that it is critical that the mechanical work get under way and
I have authorized that. aspect of the work only tc proceed. A
copy cf my instruction and authority is contained in my letter
to the architect dated February 19, 1982, a copy of which is
attached.

The purpose of this letter is to seek the authority ef
the City of Port Coquitlam to share in the higher amount -now
estimated for the construction which, for appropriation
estimates, [ request be set at 365,000 to allow some leeway

RECOMMENDATION:

That the increase to the cost of the Justice
Building Alterations Communications Centre in

the amount of approximately $3,090

DLR,
BR. Kirk, City Administrator.
