City Administrator

FROM: LR. Zahynacz, P. Eng.
City Engineer

SUBJECT:

That Council award the Shaughnessy Street underpass repair project to Kingston
Construction Ltd. based on the tendered price of $36,997.

That Council allocate $49,000 from the 1992 Public Works Capital Reserve Fund for this

The City invited tenders from four construction companies for the Shaughnessy Street
Underpass Repair Project and received two submissions, of which Kingston Construction was
the lowest bid based on a cost of $36,997.

The Public Works Committee considered the attached memo from the Project Engineer dated

July 9, 1992 regarding the award of the Shaughnessy Street underpass repairs contract and
recommends that the contract be awarded to the lowest tender - Kingston Construction Ltd. at
the tendered price of $36,997. At the February 17, 1992 Council meeting, Council awarded the
engineering work for the design, tendering and construction supervision for this project to KPA
Engineering Ltd. at a cost of $11,300. The total cost for this project for construction and
engineering wouid be approximately $49,000. As the 1992 budget estimate was $30,000, the
Public Works Committee proposes to postpone the survey monument project (estimated at
$17,500) until 1993 so that there would be sufficient funds to complete the Shaughnessy

underpass project this year.

As shown on the attached memorandum from the Project Engineer dated July 23, 1992, the
Kingsway bridge will only have one lane open during construction and traffic control will be
provided by portable electric traffic lights and a flag person as required. There will be only
minor delays of a few hours on Shaughnessy at the underpass and this portion will be done at a

convenient time.
