Report#: WD-58-95 File#: Dy-Law# - CANADA/ONTARIO INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS PROGRAM, Subject: KING STREET STORM SEWERS, ONTARIO STREET TO FRANK STREET, BOWMANVILLE Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report WD-58-95 be received; 2. THAT the application to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for Infrastructure Funding for King Street Storm Sewers, Ontario Street to Frank Street, be revised and resubmitted to reflect the revised project schedule; and 3. THAT additional funds, required over and above those approved under the Infrastructure Program, be obtained by either requesting the Province to reallocate any funds from other underspent Clarington Infrastructure projects or from Public Works Lot Levy Reserve Fund. REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1: Key Map No. 2: Cost Summary 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 One of the projects approved under the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works Program was for the upgrading of storm sewers on King Street, from Ontario Street to Frank Street. Currently these sewers are at capacity and pose a barrier for redevelopment along the roadway. 2.2 In January of 1995, the cost of upgrading the storm sewers was esti Pg g mated at $600,741. This estimate provided for the installation of storm sewers, restoration of the disturbed road surface and some replacement of deficient sidewalk and curb. No provision was made for the installation nim rwrJim a�nmvc��o rpven i REPORT NO.: WD-58-95 PAGE 2 of Regional services as of January, 1995. Construction was to be completed in Summer 1995. 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 After the storm sewer estimate was prepared and Infrastructure forms completed, the Region of Durham approached the Municipality of Clarington regarding sanitary sewer and watermain replacement on King Street. They requested this work be undertaken in conjunction with the storm sewer replacement project. 3.2 In addition, it was agreed by the Region and Clarington that improvements were also required at the intersection of King and Liberty Streets. Traffic congestion is occurring at peak hours and turning lanes are required to improve traffic flow. 3.3 As a result of these additional works proposed by Durham Region, the project schedule was revised to permit construction during the Summer of 1996, and the Municipality of Clarington Public Works Department now proposes that King Street be fully reconstructed from Ontario Street to Frank Street. Replacing the underground services to the extent proposed, and only restoring disturbed areas of roadway, curb and sidewalk, would result in a patchwork effect which would be unsightly and unacceptable to the Public Works Department. The extent of the required restoration would not be cost effective. 3.4 A revised cost estimate to provide for full restoration of the roadway is provided on Attachment No. 2. In addition, cost estimates for Regional Works are also provided. The Region has agreed to fund 100% of the intersection improvements at King and Liberty Streets, if the Municipality of Clarington funds the full road restoration costs for the remainder of the project. In addition, the Region of Durham is financing the Costs to replace the sanitary sewer and watermains, including associated services, over the full length of the project. I 3.5 The revised cost estimate (Attachment No. 2) includes for restoration of sidewalk and boulevard areas with concrete and asphalt respectively. It should be noted that interlocking brick and other special streetscape amenities have been used recently on other high profile streets within Bowmanville. Public input may result in the Municipality considering similar treatment on this project. Cost of streetscape improvement is not I REPORT NO.: WD-58-95 PAGE 3 included herein and funding for this would have to be obtained from another source. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 Should Council support the recommendation to proceed with this project, they have two (2) options. Option one would be to revise the Infrastructure Program Application Form, identifying the new construction schedule and also requesting additional funding to cover the cost of full reconstruction. This approach is very risky and could result in considerable delay or even cancellation of the project. A costly environmental study report would be required by the Infrastructure Program as a result of new Federal Legislation and the revised project scope. Public Works does not recommend this procedure. 4.2 The second option is to revise the Infrastructure forms by changing the project schedule only. Cost for Clarington Works exceeding $600,741 would have to be covered by the Municipality. This process should result in a quick response by the Infrastructure Program and allow the project to proceed in 1996. The estimated additional cost of $224,164, to fully reconstruct the roadway, could be obtained either by a reallocation from the underspent Clarington Infrastructure projects or from the Municipality's Lot Levy Reserve. This is the option favoured by Public Works. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, i l M Marano, H.BSc.,AMCT W. H. Stockwell Treasurer Chief Administrative Officer Stephed A. Vokes, P.Eng.
