BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS
On September 21, 1989 a meeting was held with Mr. Ben Sproule of Phillips
Barratt Kaiser Engineering Ltd. to present the schedule for the design and
construction of the northern fire station, as attached.
Mr. Sproule has been advised that the time frame in this report would cause an
unacceptable delay in construction.
During discussions, Mr. Sproule advised that should approval be given to this
initial report and permission be given to start detailed drawings, the pro-
posed time frame could be improved to allow for tendering to take place and
construction to begin by the first of December. This timing would allow for a
tentative completion date in the early part of 1990 and would be in accordance
with the delivery of the vehicles required to equip the station.

Sproule's report and that the costs in excess of the $300,000 budgetted for
this project in 1989, be allocated in the 1990 budget.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
