‘THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PoRT cooUITLAM 7 C 0) [ iN ge" a. — JAN 21 1920 TO: Mayor and Council ' January 18th, 1980 MEMORANDUM L.D. Pollock City Administrator Re: Special Projects Engineer. The City Engineer and TI have discussed the need for additional enginecring design assistance in view of the major projects that ‘are presently underway. We have discussed the Proposal to hire an Engincer on a contract basis for a fixed term in order to complete. some necessary design work. This would be an alternative to contracting this work out to consultants and would over a period of years save the City a considerable amount ef money. The City Engineer has prepared a list of projects that require attention and with the anticipated &rowth in the northeast sector in the next few years it would be an advantage to have the preliminary design work done on these projects. The basic work done by this engineer would enable the Engineering Department to complete the detailed design when the Projects actually po ahead, Our Engincering Department is capable of this detail design with the exception for example of pump house design where special expertise is required. The work completed by this special projects engineer would at leagt pive us the information necessary Co thoroughly plan and estimate financing requirements for future extension to our major services. Some of the work that could be carried out by such an engineer are: 1. Develop new specifications for our Subdivision By-law (some of this work has already” been done). The work requires review of existing specifications and checking to make sure that the specs are coherent and coordinated. Implement the industrial drainage atudy or Produce alternatives, Compare alternative storage locations and determine’ the effect on right-of-way requirements, Work out staging, storage volumes and ditch requirements and design the interin, and Final system, Reviow the Dayton and Knight report on water supply to the whole City other than Mary H11l and Genstar which ts being done by the G.V.W.D.) with “emphasis on industrial arcan and Victoria Drive. Make adjustments for modifications to the system since the repore wag compiled and prepare a program of prioritics for future implementation, update development cost charges accordingly, A review of the drainage system for the whole Gity is essential, Many areas are without storm sewer and in some caser drainage from new developments has no outlet except through these areas. An Outline plan showing preliminary deaign ef major trunk drainage should be prepared as a reference for all fucure aterin sewer design and also to allow some cost recovery through development core charges. 5. OA sanitary sewer study 48 required for the Victoria Drive area, 6, Develop a program for road rehabilitation based on the road condition report and taking into account traffic prowth, Thore are other arcag that could be ineluded and depending on the time available and
