TO LR. Zahynacz, P. Eng. DATE: March 3, 1992
City Engineer FILE: 900-223

FROM: C.F. (Kip) Gaudry, P. Eng.
Deputy City Engineer

SUBJECT: , Consulting Engineer Appointment
Shaughnessy/Wilson Intersection

Recommendation:

That Delcan Engineers and Planners be appointed as Consulting Engineers for the design and
constriction of the Wilson/Shaughnessy Intersection at a fee of $20,000 including GST.

Backeround & Comments:

The intersection of Shaughnessy and Wilson requires upgrading with both signalization and
channelization for increased traffic handling ability. The intersection is on Shaughnessy Street
which is a DCC road under the Bylaw; however, this specific intersection was not identified as a
DCC item. The Chevron Gas Station at the comer of Wilson and Shaughnessy is slated for
redevelopment in 1992 and it is proposed that the intersection be upgraded in conjunction with
this development. |

It is therefore planned to include this intersection upgrading in the revision to the Roads DCC
Bylaw which will go to Council in the near future. I was instructed to call proposals for the
intersection design work and make a recommendation for awaxd.

Four Consultants were requested to subr.. proposals for the intersection design and
‘construction. Three proposals were received. .a UMA Engineering, Delcan Corporation Ltd.,
and R.P. Shaflik Engineering Ltd. The four: Consultant, Urban Systems Ltd., declined to
submit on this occasion. oe
The bid from R.P. Shaflik Engineering Ltd. was conditional on doing only the, electrical portion
of the project and did not include the civil works and therefore was rejected. The two remaining
qualified bids from UMA and Delcan were individually analyzed.

The two qualified bids were comparatively equal in all areas of the evaluation. Therefore, we
used the total estimated fees and disbursements to recommend Delcan Corporation at their
estimated fee of $20,000 including GST for the work.
