1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The Community Services Department is currently constructing two capital
projects; Bowmanville Indoor Soccer - Outdoor Lacrosse Facility located at 2375
Baseline Road; and, Courtice Fire Station #4 - Courtice Community Policing
Centre located at 2611 Trulls Road. This staff report provides Council with an
update of the status of both projects.
2.0 BOWMANVILLE INDOOR SOCCER, OUTDOOR LACROSSE
2.1 On May 10, 2004, Council approved Report COD-023-04 recommending MJ
Dixon Construction Ltd. be awarded the contract for the Indoor Soccer Facility
and Outdoor Lacrosse Bowl at the amended bid in the amount of $3,358,248.00.
The amended total funds approved for the project were $3,868,500.00 which also
includes architectural and consulting fees, utility connections, project contingency
and equipment and furnishings. Construction started on May 25, 2004.
2.2 During the early stages of the project the contractor identified the site had
retained significant water over the winter months and was found to be extremely
wet. This posed a problem for the building up of the engineered ground under the
building, lacrosse and parking lot areas. As well significant rainfall during these
early stages compounded this problem
2.3 In early June, MJ Dixon proposed the installation of a gravel sub base at the
building and lacrosse areas to assist in the building up and compacting of these
areas. Independent consultation was sought with the conclusion that this sub
base would indeed be beneficial. The contractor was directed to proceed at a
cost of $65,000.00.
2.4 Throughout the summer weather continued to be problem. Not only were work
days lost for rain but there were subsequent lost days while the site dried to the
point were work could continue.
2.5 This has resulted in fluctuating dates for completion of the project. As of July 14,
2004 MJ Dixon was working towards a Substantial Completion date of November
5, 2004. However, this schedule is always subject to further revision.

2.6 During the last week of July the preparation for construction of the concrete tilt
walls was in progress. This included the preparation of a temporary concrete
base within the future soccer field area in order to form and pour the wall panels.
At the time of preparation of this report the lifting in place of these concrete wall
panels was scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2004.
2.7 Also while this work was being done, the installation of underground sewers and
services was in progress, as well as the preparation of the lacrosse area and the
two parking lot areas. At the time of this report, the lacrosse area is formed and
reinforcing mesh is being put in place for the pouring of the concrete pad on
September 29th. The parking lot areas are also ready for the installation of the
granular base.
2.8 Throughout the duration of this project staff has been communicating with the
Darlington Soccer Club to provide updated information on the proposed
completion dates. The Club is currently registering players for the upcoming
indoor season and are working towards a late November start of their season.
