1. INTRODUCTION
Each year the Municipality is involved in approving a Capital Works program of
approximately $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 which represents our ongoing works for
that year. In 2013, Engineering Services will be co-ordinating a public works
program of$20,877,012.
To serve Council in their understanding of our projects, we have decided that
going forward we will provide a full up-date twice per year in June and then again
in December/January, which lists our programs and provides a description and
status update. Certainly we encourage you to review our reports and contact us
with any questions you may have.
To begin, it should be understood that 2013 is an exceptional year in its size and
scope, specifically because of the timing of some major, one-time projects and
also because we were able to partner with other funding sources, (ie. The Region),
where that partnership provided an exceptional opportunity to realize significant
financial benefit for the Municipality.
As part of our twice yearly report we will also provide Council with details of our
involvement in other projects, which while not a part of our Capital Budget
program, do require our input and expertise. Residential and non-residential
development proposals, major projects undertaken by external agencies that affect
our infrastructure, as well as programs managed by other Municipal Departments,
all require significant staff an input and support. A brief discussion of all projects
will be presented in our bi-annual reports.
2. 2013 PROPOSED MUNICIPAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
To begin we would like to identify the major projects that will be undertaken in
2013. Some will be major Clarington projects and others will be major projects
managed by external agencies/developers within Clarington's boundaries. We
outline Clarington's projects below:
Green Road CP Rail Bridge and Green Road Construction from Boswell
Drive to Aspen Springs Drive
This project has been identified as a key transportation network link for some time.
Work will involve constructing Green Road from Aspen Springs Drive to Boswell
Drive, building a temporary rail diversion and replacing the existing railway bridge
with a larger bridge to accommodate the future ultimate 4 lane cross of Green
Road including sidewalks. This project is very complex and requires a high degree
of co-ordination with the Canadian Pacific Railway. The project is estimated to
start construction this fall and be completed in the fall of 2014. The estimated
project cost is $8,000,000. Once completed this road will provide for a much
needed improved grid road network system for the west part of Bowmanville.
REPORT NO.: EGD-025-13 PAGE 3
Port Darlington East Beach Park Development
Identified in the Municipality's Strategic Plan as a high priority to open up the
waterfront to public, the development of the Port Darlington East Beach was
approved in the 2013 Capital budget. In order to provide the space with better
function we will be relocating a portion of East Beach Road which will lie within the
park north roughly 50 m as well as closing the south portion of Port Darlington
Road for the same length. The works will also include erosion protection of the
bluff from the park's eastern limits to the existing beach to the west, construction of
a splash pad, walkways, play structure, waterfront trail and public washroom
building. The park is in the final design stage and we will commence construction
this summer. The majority of the work will be finished by the end of this year with
final landscaping being completed in the spring of 2014. The park will be open for
use in the summer of 2014. The estimated cost of this project is $3,000,000.
Artificial Turf Field — South Courtice
Through the public consultation and site review process staff determined that the
preferred location for this site was at our South Courtice Community Park on the
east side of Prestonvale Road south of Bloor Street. Through consultation with
user groups and the trend of playing seasons starting earlier and ending later in
the year staff determined that there was a need to include an artificial turf field to
our inventory of sports fields. This premier venue will allow for practice and play
outdoors for longer periods during the year and would be available for play
regardless of weather conditions. The provision of this field will also help preserve
the conditions of our natural turf fields that are currently being extensively used.
The detailed design for this field is being finalized and it is anticipated that
construction will begin this summer and be completed in November of 2013. The
estimated cost of this project is $1,500,000.
3. MAJOR PROJECTS INVOLVING EXTERNAL AGENCIES
In addition to dealing with our own Capital Works program the Engineering
Services department also provides input into other major initiatives that are
undertaken but other external agencies or large developments. We get involved in
order to protect our short and long term interests and to ensure that our vision for
the Municipality is not negatively impacted by these major projects.
Energy Drive — Courtice Road to Osborne Road, Clarington Energy Business
Park
The $7M construction of Energy Drive, realignment of Courtice Road and
Darlington Park Road in association with the servicing requirements for the York
Durham Energy Centre is another major project that we have been involved with
over the past year. Staff has provided design review to ensure that our standards
and specifications are met. This road and associated storm water conveyance
system will become Clarington's infrastructure once the works are completed by
REPORT NO.: EGD-026-13 PAGE
the Region of Durham and accepted by the Municipality of Clarington. Work is
scheduled to start in the fall of 2013 with completion in 2014.
Port Granby Long-Terre Low-Level Radioactive Waste Management Facility
and Associated Works
This project has been ongoing for some time now and over the last year we have
seen the road improvements required to support this large initiative by the
Government of Canada completed. Engineering, Planning and Legal staff
provided extensive input into the final design and specifications for the
construction of Elliott Road including level crossing improvements at the CNR,
rehabilitation of Newtonville Road, Concession Road , all of which were completed
in 2012 and are in use for the project now. Currently staff are working with
Canada to finalize the Lakeshore Road realignment and underpass construction
which is anticipated to go out for tender later this year with construction carrying
over into 2014.
Holt Road Interchange and South Service Road Realignment
In order to prepare for the upcoming refurbishment of the Darlington Nuclear
Station, OPG, in cooperation with the Ministry of Transportation, will be replacing
the existing partial interchange at Holt Road with a full movement (access to and
from Hwy. 401 in all directions) interchange including a roundabout design to
eliminate the need for signalization. This work will also incorporate the relocation
of South Service Road and portions of the waterfront trail between Holt Road and
Solina Road. All of this work is required to accommodate the expected traffic
associated with the refurbishment as well as potential future demands associated
with New Build should it move forward. The road and bridge work is in the detailed
design stage and construction is anticipated to be completed by 2016. Staff are
working with OPG and Ministry staff to ensure our needs are met on the relocated
roads and waterfront trail. In addition to providing a benefit to the future Darlington
Nuclear Station improvements it will also improve access to and from Hwy. 401 for
the residents of Clarington.
Highway 401 Corridor Studies - 1) Brock Road to Courtice Road &
2) Courtice Road to East Townline
Both of these projects being undertaken by M.T.O. are on-going and staff in
cooperation with Region of Durham staff have been involved in providing input and
critical review for both of these studies. It is expected that the Ministry will being
completing the Courtice Road to East Townline Study in the near future with the
other corridor study being completed late this year. There have been and continue
to be some challenges in dealing with Ministry staff in accepting some of the input
we have provided, specifically including the future Lambs Road interchange as
part of their Environmental Assessment when reviewing options and impacts for
the project. Both Durham Region staff and Clarington staff have voiced this
concern but with no positive response from the Ministry. Staff will continue to
follow up on this matter and press to have the issue addressed.
REPORT NO.: GD-025-13 PAGE
Highway 407 East Extension - Phase 1 to Harmony Road and
Phase 2 to Hwy. 35/115 and Taunton to Hwy. 401
Although Phase 1 of this project does not occur in Clarington, staff have argued
that Clarington roads will be negatively impacted by the phasing of the project
which staff have recently reported on to Council. We will continue to collect traffic
data on our roads in order to be able to track anticipated impacts once Phase 1 of
the 407 East extension is completed to Harmony Road. The Ministry of
Transportation is starting to move forward with the detailed design of Phase 2,
which is almost entirely in Clarington, and is anticipated that construction could
start in 2015 with the extension planned for full operation in 2020. As design plans
are developed Clarington staff will provide input on our required design standards,
special requirements for cycling and pedestrians, review of impacts of construction
and operation on our road network. It will be important for staff to ensure that the
phased approach proposed by M.T.O. does not put an undue burden on the
Municipality of Clarington from both a liability or fiscal perspective.
Metrolinx - GO Rail Extension to Bowmanville
Although Metrolinx has pushed back the timelines for the completion of this work,
which is now in their "Next Wave" list of projects, staff still continue to be a part of
the municipal consultation process that Metolinx has set up. In addition staff have
taken into consideration the future needs of the Rail Extension project when
designing the works for the Green Road rail bridge and roadway. We will continue
to participate in this working group and provide Council with updates as they
become available.
4. DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING REVIEW
Another critical and time consuming function that Engineering Services staff
provides is input and review of development proposals ranging from individual lot
severances to large scale site developments including both residential and non-
residential applications.
To date in 2013 Engineering staff have provided input on:
® 22 Preconsultations for potential development proposals
® 14 Site plan applications
® 15 rezonings/Official Plan amendments
® 1 Plan of Subdivision
® 1 Condominium application; and
0 25 Land divisions.
REPORT NO.: EGD-025-13 PAGE 6
The input staff provides ensures that either operational or infrastructure impacts
created by these development applications are identified as being addressed
through the process, that future infrastructure needs are not compromised and our
engineering standards and specifications are met.
The above review is in addition to the review of detailed design submissions for
previously approved residential subdivisions and construction inspection of the
same which also adds $9,000,000 to $10,000,000 of infrastructure to the
Municipality of Clarington's inventory annually.
5. DESIGN AND PROJECT COORDINATION FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS
In addition to managing the Engineering Services Capital Budget projects our
department also provides technical and project management expertise to other
departments in the form of detailed design, tender preparation and contract
administration. These projects range in scope from sidewalk bay replacements at
our facilities to road and watermain design to support the development of a new
fire hall in Newcastle and everything inbetween. The following is a summary of
some of the more notable projects that we have worked on over the last year and
their status:
• Level Crosssing Surface improvements at Riley Road and Metcalf Road
(Operations Dept., Status: Design Complete, awaiting approval from CNR)
• Glennabbey Drive Retaining Wall Rehabilitation (Operations Dept., Status:
Preliminary design stage)
• Sidewalk Inspection (Trip Hazards), Inventory and Tender Preparation
(Operations Dept., Status: Inspections 95% complete, preparation of

Services Dept., Design and Tender Complete, awaiting final approval from
Region of Durham)
• Garnett B. Rickard Emergency Exit Staircases (Community Services Dept.,
Status: Complete)
REPORT NO.: GD-025-13 PAGE 7
The Engineering Services Department would like to continue and expand the
range services we provide and do more if we have the available resources to do
so.
6. A SUMMARY OF ALL CLARINGTON PROJECTS
In addition to the $12.5M included in the 2013 Capital Budget for the special
projects noted earlier, the remaining $8.39M in the Capital Budget includes for
many of the routine but essential works that Engineering Services is responsible
for in order to ensure that our infrastructure is maintained and improved in a safe
and sustainable manner. This work includes but is not limited to sidewalk
replacements and extension, road rehabilitation and reconstruction, bridge and
culvert rehabilitation and replacement, street lighting enhancements and many
others.
A summary of the Construction Projects which Engineering Services will be
managing in 2013 for both our department and others is provided for on
Attachment No.1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in both table and map format.
7. CONCURRENCE — Not applicable
8. CONCLUSION
Although the 2013 is proving to be an exceptional year as it pertains to projects in
the Municipality of Clarington, Engineering Services staff are managing to get the
projects to construction while still providing the necessary support required of the
department to facilitate the continued growth of the Municipality of Clarington. As
we move forward in the near future, the department will continue the trend of
undertaking additional design and construction administration while assisting other
Departments.
