1. BACKGROUND
1. 1 On October 12 , 1993, Council adopted the recommendations of
PD-137-93 and approved in principle the Urban Design Plan for
the Bowmanville West Main Central Area. At that time, staff
noted that Highway 2 and Commercial Street B (see Attachment
#1) , were of particular importance in terms of the
implementation of the Urban Design Plan and the processing of
the site plan applications. Two key considerations for the
future is the transformation of Highway 2 from a "highway" to
an urban street and the creation of a pleasant shopping
environment along Commercial Street B.
1. 2 In reviewing the requirements for a functional preliminary
design for these streets, the following elements were
previously noted by Planning staff:
REPORT NO. : PD-156-93 PAGE 2
• the redevelopment of Highway 2 to an urban cross section;
• the reduction of the superelevation and design of a safe
intersection for Commercial Street B;
• the unified landscape treatment along Highway 2 as
identified in the Urban Design Plan;
• the special design elements for Commercial Street B as
identified in the Urban Design Plan.
1. 3 Planning staff reviewed the scope of work with Public Works
staff. In these discussions, several additional components
were identified:
• a functional design for improvements to the Highway
2/Martin Road intersection;
• a preliminary design for Green Road south of Highway 2 to
the CPR;
• detailed geometrics and typical cross-section for Street
'AI .
As a result of these discussions, it was agreed that the
Town's consulting engineers Totten Sims Hubicki Associates
should be involved in this work for an area which is clearly
so significant for the future of the municipality. A meeting
with representatives of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates was
held on October 28, 1993 to review the requirements for this
project.

Dear Mr. Cannella:
RE: Proposal for Consulting Services
Bowmanville West Main Central Area
Engineering and Streetscaping Recommendations and Guidelines
Totten Sims Hubicki Associates (TSH) appreciates this opportunity to provide our proposal for consulting
services on this important civic project. As per our meeting of October 28, 1993, we have prepared the
following proposal for your consideration. As we prepared this proposal expeditiously, we would
appreciate the opportunity to discuss its contents with you if so desired.
The TSH proposal will result in general guidelines and recommendations that will help the municipality
ensure development in the Bowmanville West Main Central Area meets community, traffic, safety,
aesthetic and urban structure objectives. Guidelines and recommendations for renovation, construction and
enhancement of Highway 2, including the intersections at Martin Road, commercial Street B and Green
Road, Commercial Streets B and A and Green Road will be formulated, both graphically and written. TSH
engineers and landscape architect will complete the proposed work and will base our recommendation upon
the following:
1. Standard MTO design criteria.
2. Feasibility Assessment of Highway 2 renovation
3. Engineering survey of Green Road
4. Cost effective construction materials and methods
5. Commercially available streetscaping products
6 The B.L.G. Ltd. Study
7. Standard maintenance and operations procedures
8. Municipal servicing, traffic, aesthetic and safety objectives
9. Close liaison with the:
• Planning, Community Services, Municipality of Clarington
• Public Works Department, Municipality of Clarington
• Works and Planning Departments - Region of Durham
• Ministry of Transportation Ontario
• Landowner Group 5 -30
ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS
Municipality of Clarington

The Engineering component of our proposal includes the following:
1. Report on the feasibility of removing the superelevation from the King's Highway travelled road
cross-section between Green Road and Martin Road. Investigation to include preliminary proposals
and design drawings including construction cost estimates.
Estimate of Cost for Services: $16,200.00
2. Develop an urban cross-section for K.H. #2 utilizing the existing superelevation slopes and
investigate compatibility with the adjacent proposed developments. Prepare preliminary design
drawings and construction cost estimates. This investigation will not be necessary should the
conclusions of our previously noted report (referenced as 1.) are not conducive to existing
conditions, and not economically viable.
Estimate of Cost for Services: $5,400.00
3. Conduct a functional design for the improvements of the King's Highway No 2/Martin Road
Intersection. Assignment to include construction cost estimates and receipt of approvals from all
governing authorities being,
Region of Durham, Municipality of Clarington and the Ministry of Transportation Ontario
Estimate of Cost for Services: $11,400.00
4. Complete a preliminary design of Green Road between King's Highway No. 2 and the Canadian
Pacific Railway to include typical road cross-section, pavement design grade and widening
requirements of existing road allowance. Assignment to include construction cost estimates.
Estimate of Cost for Services: $7,700.00
5. Develop a typical road cross-section including detailed geometrics for Street `A' and Street `B' (full
lengths) as located on the Land Use Plan and forming an appendix to the Secondary Planning Study
for the westerly expansion of the Main Central Area of Bowmanville
Estimate of Cost for Services: $9,600.00
King's Highway No. 2 (across the frontage of the development property) is under the jurisdiction of the
Ministry of Transportation Ontario. Consequently, it is imperative that we work closely with the Ministry
as required to satisfy their requirements and demands. It would be more desirable and less complex if an
agreement could be made to transfer title of the road to the Municipality of Clarington. We shall pursue
this matter with the approval of the Municipality of Clarington.
We are advised that an acceptable storm sewer outfall and detention facility are available to serve this
entire area now positioned for connection at Street V. Water and sanitary sewer servicing is not
considered a component of this preliminary study.

The Streetscaping component of our proposal includes the following:
In conjunction with our engineers, TSH Landscape Architect will work with the municipality to select the
streetscape form and amenities for Highway 2, Commercial Streets A and B and Green Road.
The streetscape form will include:
• boulevard width and treatment, i.e. grass, sidewalk
• sidewalk widths, placement and design
• building setback, including possible use of site for outdoor display, eating, etc.
• street tree type, size, location and planting detail
• transit shelter type, location and ground treatment
• streetlight locations
• parking meter locations
• bench placement
• garbage container location
The streetscape amenities will include:
• streetlight poles and fixtures; colour, type and mounting detail
• benches; colour, type and mounting detail
• tree guards; colour, type, usage
• garbage containers; type, colour, usage
• bollards; colour, type, usage
As per the B.L.G. Ltd. Study, the streetscaping of the West Main Central Area comprises special and
different zones. TSH will develop the guidelines for the following zones:
Highway 2 Streetscape Zone
• Detail Shopping Pedestrian Zone
• 0' Setback Retail Shopping Pedestrian Zone
• Special Streetscape Zone; Green Road and Commercial Street A
• Crosswalk Design
In order to adequately explain these municipal standards to prospective developers and designers, accurate
graphical and written explanation is recommended. The detail proposed by TSH will negate "grey" areas
of interpretation which could lead to less than satisfactory development and inconsistent treatment
throughout the West Main Central Area. TSH proposes to develop streetscape standards in the form of a
booklet including cross-sections and plans of each zone's form and description, cost, supplier, model #,
colour, etc., of each streetscape amenity.
Estimate of Cost for Services: $18,100.00.
Totten Sims Hubicki Associates will liaison with all Municipal, Provincial and Development personnel as
required to coordinate the preliminary works at this time. We are prepared to commence our work

immediately on receipt of the appropriate direction. It is assumed TSH would be assigned the detailed
design of the subject projects subsequent to receiving approvals of the preliminary proposals and plans.
Estimated costs provided herein include normal disbursements but do not include GST charges.
The forgoing cost estimates do not include for services related to geotechnical investigations or for legal
surveys. We would attempt to utilize information previously compiled by others that may be available in
this area as necessary to complete the preliminary designs. However, more comprehensive and accurate
information in this regard will be necessary prior to advancing with the detailed design.
TSH would appreciate the opportunity to further elaborate upon our proposal at your earliest convenience.
Please feel free to contact either of us. Once more, thankyou for this opportunity.
Kind regards
