Handiey Crescent Pump Station

T3 dace. there is $150,000 iilocated under work order Jw 028 for construction

sf tae Handley Crescent pump station. This is distributed as follows:
“swer Tinital
Ppacsete

The ‘iesign of the station excluding the preparation of contract documents has
been iunded separately under work order 52108759586. On ‘lay 29, 1990 the
Public ‘orks Committee approved spending $ 17,300 to hire Dayton & Knight to
prepare contract documents, advertise tenders, administer the contract and
provide as builts out of funds already allocated for construction. This
leaves only $ 132,270 to build the station.

The low tender for supply of equipment from Flygt Canada is $ 134,391.02 .
When this is added to the $17,736 already committed for engineering costs, the

total exclusive of installation amounts to $ 152,120.02 which is above the
total currently allocated. Dayton and Knight are concerned that because of
soil conditions and high water table in the area, the installation costs could
skyrocket and wouldn't want to see us order the equipment oniy Co find we
couldn't afford the installation cost. They suggest that we may wish to delay
award of the supply contract until we have a firm price on installation.

The Sewer Capital reserve had a balance of $900,000 + at the end of 1989. To
date, 7°95,663 has been committed to projects and equipment purchases which
‘neludes funding Yandley to the $150,000 amount. There appears to be adequate
funding available; however, it may be prudent to wait. The only drawback to
30t ordering the equipment now is that there may be delays which would push
the installation further back to the wet season.

You may wish to discuss this with the members of the Public Works Committee
before making a decision as to whether or not to ask Ron Freeman to place this
item on the Council Agenda as a late item.
