HomeMy WebLinkAboutWD-17-81 TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Director's Report to Public Works Committee of January 20, 1981. ITEM: WD-17-81. DATE: January 19, 1981. SUBJECT: Reconstruction of Liberty Street (Regional Road 14) from King Street to Concession Street, Bowmanville. BACKGROUND: Report WD-111-80 (September 2, 1980) recommended that Staff identify concerns relevant to the subject reconstruction, and meet with representatives of the Region of Durham to discuss this matter. REPORT: At a Meeting with Regional Staff concerns addressed were those relevant to storm sewer requirements and connections, together with the re-placement of sidewalks. The proposed reconstruction includes two storm sewer outfalls, the most northerly covering the area from Concession Street to, approximately, Carlisle Avenue, from which an outlet will be provided to the existing watercourse east of the School grounds; this system will outlet in the area of the present sewer outlet and will be funded 100% by the Regional Municipality of Durham. The southerly system will outlet via Wellington Street to an existing watercourse (which would also accommodate the flows from Church Street West) . As a result of the diversion of storm water from Church Street West. northerly on Liberty Street to Wellington Street, the existing Church Street East sewer would be removed from the 'deficient' list (as identified in the Bowmanville -Storm Sewer Study). The reconstruction on Wellington Street will also re- solve a deficient sewer. It is proposed that the costs in relation to the Wellington Street East ou--fall be the Town of Newcastle's responsibility, and these are estimated at $85,000. 00 (Eighty Five Thousand Dollars). I WD-17-81 (2) The diversion from Church Street to Wellington Street (on Liberty Street) is being proposed on a cost-sharing basis, based on a 'user pay' format, and the estimate amount to some $20,000. 00 (Twenty Thousand Dollars) . Existing sidewalks removed as a result of construction will be replaced by the Region of Durham. If the Town wishes to have any additional sidewalks installed, then these would be at the Municipality-s expense. The estimated cost for the placement of sidewalks is $16. 50/metre. RECOMMENDATION: THAT funds be provided in the 1981 Budget for Storm Sewer construction, in accordance with this report and the est- imated costs outlined herein and, further, that the Region of Durham be requested to accommodate, in their design,a location for future sidewalks in those areas where, presently, sidewalks do not exist.

Dunham, Director Canada.Lt N 6A3 (416)M-7721 Dear Sir: WA.TWELVETREES,P.Eng. Re: Proposed reconstruction of Regional Road 14, Commissioner of Works Liberty Street from south of King St. to Concession Please quote our ref: St., Bowmanvi lle 'RR-14-4 Further to your letter of November 6, 1980, please be advised that the Region is prepared to assume 100% of the construction costs for the storm sewer outfall in the vicinity of Station 3+600± , Since, however, the storm outfall for the south end of the project is located on Wellington St. E. (Station 3+275+) which is of course under the jurisdiction of the Town of Newcastle, it is expected that the total cost of the outfall construction will be borne by the Municipality. The estimated cost of the outfall construction is $85,000 based on a preliminary design. In addition, you will , no doubt, recall our previous discussion regarding the diversion of the storm water from Church St. W. northerly on Liberty St. to Wellington St. This proposal in our opinion would eliminate the need for the reconstruction of the existing deficient sewer on Church St. E. by diverting the runoff to a reconstructed sewer on Wellington St. E. This would result in a substantial cost saving since both systems on Church St. and Wellington St, have been identified as deficient and only one need be reconstructed (Bowmanville storm sewer study - TSH) . Based on a user pays format, that is, cost shared on the basis of C.F.S. usage, the estimated cost to the Municipality for the cost shared section is approximately $20,000. I trust this -makes our position clear with respect to the storm sewer cost sharing and following your agreement in principle we will proceed with the detailed design and estimating. RECEIVED JAN 9 X81 WORKS DEPT, TOWN OF NEWCASTLE J. Dunham - 2 - January 7, 1981 Please note that we have indicated on the attached plan a) sidewalk to be removed and replaced by the Region during construction b) sidewalk not affected by road construction. Please review this proposal and advise if you wish to have any additional sidewalk replacement in conjunction with the Regional contract. All such replacement will of course be at the expense of the Municipality. The approximate cost for sidewalk replacement is estimated at a) removal : $4.00/metre - b) placement: $16.50/metre. All cost estimates will be updated as the design proceeds. Your early consideration of this matter would be appreciated. If any additional information is required, please call this office at your convenience. Y r very tr y; 1 MTW/rd M. T. Wilson, C.E.T. Road Design Technician Attach.
