THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM C O Uj

MEMORANDUM
FEB  § 1979

TO: Mayor and Council February lst, 1979

FROM: Public Works Committee

Re: Proposals for Mapping of City

On November 20th, 1978, Council approved a report from
the Public Works Committee regarding the need for aerial photo-
graphy and mapping of the City in order to provide a base map
which could be used with a number of overlays in order to reduce
the complexity of our records system and greatly improve the
efficiency of the Drafting Department. Council authorized the
expenditure of $8,000.00 out of 1978 funds with the understanding
that the remaining cost for the new Mapping system would be
provided in the 1979 Provisional Budget.

Proposals have now been received from four firms
interested and capabie of doing the required work. Costs for
the complete mapping service are as follows:

1. Burnett Resource Surveys Ltd. $29,883.00
2. Integrated Resources Photography Ltd. 37,277.00
3. McElhanney Surveying and Engineering
4

Ltd. 39,955.00
- Pacific Survey Corporation 47,950.00

The lowest quotation from Burnett Resource Surveys Ltd.
can be split up into two parts with the survey and aerial photo-
graphy as already approved by Council being $3,650.00 and the
actual mapping being $26,233.00.

Funds are available as follows:

$10,000.00 from the 1978 Budget carried forward and

$20,000.00 from the 1979 Provisional Budget for a total of

$30,000.00 which is sufficient to cover the full cost of
the work,

Because of the great value of the information which
would be received to the operations of the Engineering Department,
the Committee recommends that the proposal from Burnett Resource
Surveys Ltd. be accepted for the full amount of the work in 1979
and that funds as specified above be used to cover the cost.
