TO:<br />
FROM<br />
RE:<br />
Mayor Weber and Members <strong>of</strong> Council<br />
Brent Kittmer, Director <strong>of</strong> Community Services<br />
Arkona Sidewalks<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
That By-law 78-2012 authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to sign<br />
the contract agreement with JD McPhee for sidewalk<br />
replacement in Arkona at the intersection <strong>of</strong> Arkona Road<br />
and Townsend Line be approved; and further that D.C.S.<br />
Report No. 56-2012 providing direction to staff be received.<br />
REPORT<br />
This report is presented to Council for direction regarding two issues related to sidewalks<br />
in Arkona.<br />
Sidewalk Replacement (Arkona Road and Townsend Line)<br />
Community Services staff is currently working to replace the sidewalk on the south west<br />
side <strong>of</strong> the intersection <strong>of</strong> Arkona Road and Townsend line. This project involves the<br />
removal <strong>of</strong> the interlocking brick and replacing it with poured concrete. <strong>The</strong> original scope<br />
<strong>of</strong> the project called for the concrete to be colored and stamped so that the finished<br />
product resembled interlocking brick. However, when this project was tendered in 2011 is<br />
was well over budget and these two portions <strong>of</strong> the job were deleted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> contract for the 2012 capital sidewalk replacements was tendered with a total budget<br />
<strong>of</strong> $62,837.00. <strong>The</strong> tender submitted by C&G Concrete was $38,883.77 inclusive <strong>of</strong> HST<br />
and the net cost to the municipality (less the HST rebate) is estimated to be $35,016.04.<br />
This represents an approximate savings compared to budget <strong>of</strong> $27,000.<br />
Given this savings, staff has priced the cost to add the colored concrete option back into<br />
the sidewalk replacement at Arkona Road and Townsend Line. Staff feels that this option<br />
presents a beatification <strong>of</strong> the area compared to the uncolored concrete and the final<br />
product will better resemble the original condition <strong>of</strong> the sidewalk. Concrete stamping will<br />
remain removed from the project. <strong>The</strong> cost to make this change has been quoted at<br />
$11,000.<br />
Staff requires direction from Council should they wish to make this change.<br />
Also, upon review <strong>of</strong> the file staff have noted that an authorizing by-law was passed<br />
authorizing the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the contract for this project. As a housekeeping<br />
