THAT Report WD-53-93 be received for information. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Table showing status of Capital Works Projects 2.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT Some of the projects on the Table (Attachment No. 1) require an explanation. 2 . 1 Item 2: Traffic Signals, Bowmanville The $20,000 was included in the 1993 budget to complete the upgrading of the traffic signals on King Street. The cost was paid in 1992 between the time the budget was prepared and the accounts were closed out for 1992 . 2 .2 Item 4: Lakeshore Road Erosion Protection This project is $105,000 over the budget amount of $485,000. The reasons for this larger overrun are as follows: REPORT NO. : WD-53-93 PAGE 2 a) Granular 'B' Type 1 in Shoreline Embankment At the outset of construction the noticeable increased rate of erosion and wave action prompted a change in the material backfill to the revetment stone (rock protection on the slope) . It was agreed with the Contractor and the Owner that a switch to crushed rock material was required in order to ensure stability of the revetment. Granular 'B' Type 1 material was too difficult to place, in conditions where water levels fluctuated almost daily and the material would have washed out if the protective geotextile was inadvertently ripped or punctured during installation. i In addition to the increased cost of switching to crushed rock material the quantity of material required was considerably greater than the estimated quantity in the tender. This is directly attributable to the active ongoing erosion which occurred in the three months between tendering and commencement of I construction in which period an additional 750 m3 approximately was removed by wave action. In addition, excavation in the shoreline produced unexpectedly large volumes of topsoil (in excess of 1000 m3) and other debris not anticipated from the soils investigation report or our own investigations. $ 69, 100 b) Supply Material and Construct Splash Pad The revetment design, as approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources, called for U34 REPORT NO. : WD-53-93 PAGE 3 stone to be placed to the design elevation of 100 year storm plus wave uprush. In subsequent discussion with the Municipality and Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority, it has been agreed that a splash pad should be added to the construction to increase bank protection and reduce the extent of future maintenance. The splash pad has now been constructed of 300 mm sized rock placed to a depth of 600 mm and extending to an elevation of 78.80 m. 11,332 c) Earth Borrow This covers the use of material in constructing the embankment above the revetment and backfilling of sub-excavated areas within the new roadway. Again, due to erosion and excessive topsoil removal this item required more material. It is important to note that other than surplus topsoil, we have not removed any materials from the site which could be used j for fill purposes. 15,000 d) Geotextile The increased area of geotextile used under this Item results primarily from the introduction of the "splash pad" under Work Order No. 2 . Estimated overrun is $9,000. 91000 TOTAL $104,432 1US REPORT NO. : WD-53-93 PAGE 4 2 .3 Item 11: Williams Mill Road Bridge The purpose of this item is for the removal of the bridge after having passed the by-law to close the bridge. I will be submitting a report on this item to the General Purpose and Administration Committee early in the new year. 2 .4 Item 13: Unspecified Construction The expenditure under this item was for drainage work on Fices Road and for a survey at Middle Road and Concession Road 8. 2 .5 Item 22: Gravel Parking Lots This item was included in the budget to provide additional parking at the Hampton Depot in the event that students were hired during the summer months. No students were hired; therefore, the project was cancelled. 2 .6 Item 24: King Street Storm Sewer This project was included in the budget to provide for the possibility of supplemented funding being available from the Ministry of Transportation. No supplementary funding was available and the project did not proceed. I Council approved using $100,000 from this project to provide funding for additional repair work on the roads. I 2 . 7 Work in Subdivisions Council will recall that we were forced to take over and complete the work in three ( 3) subdivisions: i Newcastle Meadows - Bowmanville Trulls Delbert - Courtice Willowbrooke - Bowmanville i i i 1 (J 3 REPORT NO. : WD-53-93 PAGE 5 All of the work scheduled for completion in 1993 has been completed. 3.0 CONCLUSIONS 3. 1 Not including the construction of the King Street Storm Sewers, which was cancelled, we are about 9.6% under budget for the capital projects.
