REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MAY 17, 1982.
REPORT NO. WD-41-82.
SUBJECT: SUPPLY AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SALT DOME AT
THE DIVISION 3 (ORONO/CLARKE) PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT YARD.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 , That this report be received, and;
2. That Bulk Store Structures Limited, Erin, Ontario,
be awarded a contract for the supply and erection
of One R-116 ft. Diameter Dome, as per the firm's
Drawings Nos R-116-1 to R-116-4, inclusive, at a
quoted cost of $75,572. 50 (Seventy Five Thousand
Five Hundred and Seventy-Two Dollars and Fifty
Cents) , and;
3. That any additional costs for site preparation
in excess- of -the -budgeted amount of $79,000. 00. ,
Abe drawn from the Working Capital Reserve _Fund:-, j
BACKGROUND:
1
As Members are aware, the Town is allegedly involved in the contam-
ination, by salt, of the water supply in Orono and, as a result,
funds in the amount of $79,000. 00 were budgeted in 1982 for the
erection of a Salt Dome at the Division 3 (Orono/Clarke) Public
Works Yard.
i
WD-41-82 - 2
Resolution # GPA-227-81 , adopted by Council , gave approval and
authorization to tender for the construction of the dome.
Unfortunately (and the following has been confirmed by the
Ministry of Transportation & Communications) , a patent on the
design of the salt dome is held by only one company, Bulk Store
Structures Limited, thus the product we seek can only be supplied
by one source. This is further evidenced by the fact that, in
1980, quotations were secured from one other company, which was
subsequently taken to Court by Bulk Store Structures Limited
and is now out of business. Accordingly, the need to seek quotes
is somewhat redundant and, therefore, this Department has dealt
only with the sole supplier of the dome.
REPORT:
Bulk Store Structures Limited can offer three services with
respect to the type of salt dome required by the Town:
1 . Supply a kit for the dome, at a cost of approx. $46,000. 00
2. Supply and erect a dome (capacity: 6,900 tons)
on a standard footing, at a cost of approx. $75,572. 50
3. Supply and erect a dome (capacity: 8,000 tons)
on a 4 ft. high concrete wall , at a cost of approx. $85,000. 00
While the cost of Item 1 may seem attractive, two factors must
be borne in mind: Firstly - installation costs, which could amount
to between $10,000 and $20,000. , and secondly, and more im-
portantly, the structural aspect: In most cases, the Ministry
of Transportation & Communications buy kits and erect their
own domes. However, in many instances, these domes have been
blown down and destroyed during high winds, as a result M.T.0
has issued a directive which details the requirement for gluing
of the panels and additional bracing. The required gluing is a
specialized process. Recent discussions with representatives of
other municipalities have shown that they, too, have had dis-
asters with respect to self-erected domes and, as an example,
the County of Ontario lost a dome during heavy winds in the
early 1970s.
WD-41-82 _ 2 _
Item 3, above (i .e. the dome on the 4 ft. concrete wall) is
attractive from the point of view of capacity, however the
costs exceed the budget allowance for the dome. In addition,
the Town does not, at present, require the extra sand/salt
storage capacity which would be provided by this structure.
As a result of our investigations it is recommended that the
Town enter into a contract with Bulk Store Structures Limited
for the dome as detailed in Item 2, the cost summary for which
is as follows:
(a) Supply and erect dome by Bulk Store Structures $75,572. 50
(b) Site preparation - 120 ft. square x 3" thick
asphalt pad $ 8,000. 00
Total Cost: $83,572. 50
This total cost exceeds the budgeted amount of $79,000. 00. ,
but the over-run of approximately $5,000. 00. , may be drawn
from the Working Capital Reserve Fund.
In order to meet our obligations in accordance with the re-
quirements of the Ministry of the Environment, and to allev-
iate the concerns of area residents in the matter of salt
contamination of the Orono water supply, Staff recommends that
this project proceed forthwith.
Respectfully submitted,
