THAT this report be forwarded to the Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund Joint Secretariat; 5. THAT the detailed structure inspections required for submission with the Canada- Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund application be undertaken immediately; and 6. THAT the Engineering Services Department proceed with the preparation and submission of the Canada-Ontario Rural Infrastructure Fund application, including all supporting documentation. CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-9282 REPORT NO.: EDG-61-04 Respectfully by, ~~ PAGE 2 G~~ Submitted by: AS. Cannella, C.E.T. Reviewed by: Franklin Wu, Director of Engineering Services Chief Administrative Officer ASC/jo December 13, 2004 REPORT NO.: EDG-61-04 PAGE 3 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 The Engineering Services Department has reviewed the Guidelines and Technical Schedules for Intake One of the Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF) program, specifically the sections dealing with Municipal Roads and Bridges and Related Structures. The focus of the program is to ensure that Ontarians in small urban and rural communities enjoy a quality of life that's second to none through infrastructure investments which: . enhance and renew Ontario's ageing public infrastructure . improve the quality of the environment . protect the health and safety of citizens . support long-term economic growth . build strong, sustainable communities by giving municipalities the tools they need The funding formula for the program would see the 3 levels of government, local municipality, Ontario and Canada, each paying 1/3 of the eligible project costs. The COMRIF program also states that the priorities for project selection are: water, wastewater, local bridges and roads and solid waste management. Municipalities can only submit one project for each intake but similar projects can be grouped together and submitted as one project. Applications, including municipal council resolution, must be submitted to the COMRIF Joint Secretariat on or before 5:00 p.m. EST on January 10, 2005. Upon review of the Application Guidebook - Intake One and the criteria for projects eligible for funding under the program, it was evident that for the roads and bridges sections that protection of public health and safety were weighted heavily in the evaluation criteria. Projects that are considered routine maintenance or repair are not eligible for funding. Projects that are required as a result of residential development are not eligible for funding. As a result of these factors it limited the eligible projects significantly. Through a review of the existing bridge and culvert appraisals and the REPORT NO.: EDG-61-04 PAGE 4 existing road inventory information it was determined that the Bridges and Related Structures section of the Intake One application would provide the Municipality the best opportunity to submit a successful application for funding from the COMRIF program. 2.0 BRIDGES AND RELATED STRUCTURES 2.1 This section of the application provides the criteria for which the subject projects will be evaluated against called the Bridge Sufficiency Index (BSI). The BSI calculation requires the Municipality to provide a quantitative evaluation of the subject structure(s) using the Bridge Condition Index (BCI) stating the percentage of various bridge or culvert elements that are in poor condition. In this criteria the bridge superstructure (beams) and deck are weighted at 70% of the overall criteria and the substructure and barrier portions of the structure representing the remaining 30%. The other portions of the criteria making up the BSI are four (4) Influence Factors that account for: 1) Truck traffic loading and load restrictions 2) Economic impact (length of detours, importance to community) 3) Bridge width 4) Geometric condition at bridgelculvert site. In order for a structure to be considered for funding the Bridge Sufficiency index should be less than 60, which would require the structure to be in very poor condition. Upon review of available data it was determined that the following structures should be considered for COMRIF funding due to their poor condition and the health and safety concerns should they fail prior to their rehabilitation or replacement: REPORT NO.: EDG-61-04 PAGE 5 Structures Rehabilitation Proiect Bridge ID and Location Type Preliminary Recommended Works Estimated Proiect Costs 1 Bridge Replace Bridge/Culvert, Same Over 099043 - Cedar Park Bridge, Cedar Water Location, Remove Existing Bridge, $375,000 Park Road, 0.6 km North of Only Detour Construction/Maintenance Concession 5/6 Access 2 Bridge Replace Bridge/Culvert, Same Over 099029 - Geo.

Should the structure fail, not allowing any vehicular traffic to pass, those properties on the other side of the structure would be cut off from emergency services which poses a safety concern for the residents impacted by the failure. This is another compelling reason why these projects should be considered of highest priority to the municipality. It is estimated that the total cost of the necessary remedial or replacement works for the 9 structures listed above are approximately $1,800,000 of which the Municipality would be responsible for $600,000 which will be dealt with through the Engineering Services 2005 Capital Budget process. In order to complete the necessary documentation for the COMRIF submission the above structures require a detailed quantitative elemental Municipal Structure Inspection be completed in accordance with the Application Guidelines. This inspection must be undertaken immediately in order to meet the submission deadline of January 10, 2005. Attachments: Attachment 1 - Project Identification Map , ~ "I ~IX ~ I " ,/ ' I" 6;0" 'V.'
