THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY CF PORT COQUITLAM
MEMORANDUM

TO | April 10,

FROM: FoE. Peters., P. Enge,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Capital Road Projects for 1985
Works and Services Committee, April 9th, 1985

RECOMMENDATION:

That the unallocated funds for road construction of $400,000 included in
the 1985 Budget be used for the following three projects:

1. Reconstruction of Prairie Avenue from Flint to Wellington Street ~
$360,000

2. Asphalt overlay of Kingsway Avenue from Wilson to Tyner - $22,000

be Overlay of Kingsway Avenue from Coast Meridian Road to the Mary Hil!
Bypass ~ $50,000

And that the additional $32,000 required be taken from the future capital
reserve. .

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The attached report from the Assistant City Engineer to the Works and
Services Committee explains the process which we have followed in order to arrive
at a st of capital road projects for 1985. Council will note that we are not
commend ing the completion of the entire length of Prairie Avenue because the
section between Wéllington Street and Sefton Street is in relatively good shape and
ranks— No. 14 among the roads wnich were considered by the Road Condition Study.
The cost estimate above allows a contingency of $60,000 which, if not required for
the listed projects, could be allocated later in the year for construction of the
section of Prairie Avenue between Sefton Street and Coast Meridian Street.

a The sum of $400,000 in the Budget was not based on any specific road
program and therefore was simply a ballpark. figure of the approximate amount which
we felt would be needed to do a significant project in 1985. Our actual! estimate
of needs now is $432,000 and since the entire $400,000 is coming out of reserves,
it was felt that the additional $32,000 could also be allocated from the future
capital reserves so as not to affect the budget. |
