BACKGROUND
On August 16, 1994, Tri-Son Contracting Inc . , Prince Albert,
Ontario was awarded Quotation Q94-10 for Driveway Paving in the
amount of $27, 418 . 36, as required by the Department of Public
Works .
For the information of Council, it is the Public Works Standard
Policy to provide a level of service to repave all asphalt
driveways to raise the driveway flush with the newly reconstructed
road.
Tri-Son Contracting Inc . provided the requested level of service,
however additional work above the quoted tender price was required
for the following reasons :

QUOTATION Q94-10
1) It was noticed that on some driveways the slope of the
new asphalt was not at a desired slope . To lessen the
number of complaints, extra asphalt was added to the
length of driveway to achieve a more suitable slope .
Additional costs to do this totalled $3 , 057 . 60 .
2) Tri-Son Contracting Inc . also repaved several cross
culverts which were either replaced or reset by Public
Works staff . Staff needed to widen a number of cross
culverts beyond the 4' x 24" specified on Quotation Q94-
10 to replace the new culverts properly. Additional cost
above the quoted price was $1, 073 . 61 (G.S.T. included) .
3) Public Works staff had originally planned to repave a
number of driveways using their own staff . However, due
to increasing amount of holidays and lieu time, Public
Works staff could not complete the selected driveways
efficiently or within a reasonable time frame . Tri-Son
Contracting Inc . were therefore requested to complete the
remainder of the driveways since they were already in the
area. Additional costs to include these extra driveways
totalled $7, 412 . 77 (G.S .T. included) or 19% above the
original quoted price .
Consequently, the total expenditure required to complete the
necessary work is $39, 037 . 49 (G.S.T. included) which is $11, 619 . 13
above the original contract award approved by Council .
As the Contractor completed the requested work in November o
�I f 1994
and has yet to be paid for the additional expenditure of
$11, 619 . 13 , approval is being requested from Council in order that
payment may be processed as soon as possible .
It is recommended that the additional funds required be drawn from
Account #2005-00002-0000, as carried over from the 1994 Current
Budget .
