MEMORANDUM MAR 3 1980

TO: Mayor and Council February 28th, 1980

Re: Proposals for Design of Pumping Stations

At the last Committee Meeting of Council, the
proposals from consultants for engineering services on the
‘design and supervision of the Dominion Avenue and Harbour
Pumping Stations was discussed. It was pointed out that
although Crippen Engineering had submitted a breakdown
between design and project supervision, this had not been
done by Associated Engineering. Subsequent to that Committee
Meeting, I was able to obtain a breakdown of the Associated
estimate. This is given in the attached letter and for
Council's information I have shown a comparison between the
two proposals below.

AESL CRIPPEN

Design to award of tender 21,500 28,500
Project supervision 13,800 14,700
As-built drawings 4,100 6,800

TOTAL $39,400 $50,000

You will note that the proposal from Associated
Engineering is specific in setting a maximum limit for the
design and as-built drawing portion of the work but is not
committed to a limit on the construction supervision. tThis
is consistent with the idea that the City would not want to
be committed to a limited amount of inspection in the case
of a bad contractor. Obviously, more money spent on inspection
at that stage could save the City a considerably greater amount
of money in the cost of the facility, both during construction
and for many years thereafter.

In accordance with the recommendations from the
Building and Protection Committee and Public Works Committee,
I recommend that the design and supervision be awarded to
Associated Engineering Services Ltd. according to the terms
of the proposal dated January 3lst, 1980 and subsequent letter

of February 27th, 1980.
