SUBJECT:
PROVISION OF WATER AND SANITARY SEWERS TO THE PROPOSED
ARENA SITE AT HIGHWAY 2 AND REGIONAL ROAD 57
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1 . That Administrator's report ADMIN. 64 - 86 be received; and
2. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be authorized to hire
an engineering consultant to design the water system required to
service the arena site; and
3. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be authorized to hire
an engineering consultant to design the sanitary sewer system
required to service the arena site; and
4. That the expenditure of approximately $485,000.00 for the
construction of the watermain to serve the arena site be authorized
and charged to the Arena Construction Account #7606-0501-X-1 ;
5. That the expenditure of approximately $250,000.00 for the
construction of a trunk sewer line to serve the arena site be
authorized and charged to the Arena Construction account; and
6. That the expenditure of consulting fees associated with the
engineering and design of the water system estimated at $30,000.00
and the sanitary sewer system estimated at $15,000.00 respectively
be approved and charged to the Arena Construction Account;
�. That the Region of Durham be advised of the decision.
ADMIN. 64 - 86 -2-
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
By letter dated August 6th 1986, the Region of Durham was
requested to examine the practical possibility of constructing a
watermain from Coleman Street to the arena site located at the north-west
corner of Highway #2 and Regional Road 57. As a result of the request,
a meeting was held on August 19th 1986 which was attended by the writer and
members of the Regional Works Department.
The results of the meeting were:
1 . The cost estimate for the construction of the water main was $275,000.00;
2. The cost estimate for the construction of a pumping station was $215,000.00;
3. Engineering costs whether done in-house or contracted out would be $30,000;
4. Fire fighting requirements for water on site necessitate the construction
of a twelve inch ( 1211) watermain loop around the site;
5. Sanitary sewer service is available to the site from Coleman
Street at a cost of approximately $250,000.00;
6. If oversizing was to be considered then the Region would pick up
part of the oversizing and engineering costs;
7. Engineering costs for the sanitary sewer would be approximately $15,000.00;
8. If full services were constructed to the site (water and sewer) these
would be certain offsetting cost savings, i .e. sanitary sewer vs
holding tanks, pumps and tile beds, the incorporation of the pump
for the water main within the compressor room of the arena;
9. That a six inch (611) line would be sufficient to provide water
within the arena facility for other than fire fighting purposes;
10. The timing of construction of the water and sanitary sewer services
from Coleman Street to the arena site if authorized, would be
co-ordinated with the Town's consultants and constructed in the
spring of 1987.
ADMIN. 64 - 86 -3- -
Recognizing that there is a need to time-line the project, if
the members of the Committee agree, then it would be appropriate to
authorize the Region to proceed with the hiring of a consultant
to design the systems required to service the new arena site. -
Respectfully submitted,
