Other Competent Business: SOLSQUA BRIDGE WALKWAY The Administrator reported it was discovered during the re-decking of the Solsqua Bridge that the walkway attached to the bridge had shifted when the decking was lifted such that it was necessary to resolve the deficiency. The deficiency was the result of a less than acceptable structural engineering design. Staff provided Council with an overview of the deficiency at the recent Committee of the Whole meeting and noted that remediation could cost approximately $15,000 and that an estimate was being sought from the current contractor. In addition, staff advised that the District s engineer was consulting with the original structural engineer that conducted the upgrades to the bridge eight years ago in an effort to seek compensation. The Administrator reported the estimate to remedy the walkway supports is $14,000. She advised that she contacted the original engineer/contractor seeking full compensation and he has finally offered $7,000. The Administrator reported that while it is staff s collective opinion that the design was less than acceptable, it is necessary to commence the repairs immediately given that the bridge remains currently open to one lane traffic only, at considerable inconvenience to

Further discussion ensued SOLSQUA BRIDGE - SIDEWALK STORM DRAINAGE UPGRADE M/S Councillors Miller, Thomson THAT: the quotation from MacDonald Services, in the amount of $14,000, for remedial works to the Solsqua Bridge be accepted; offset by $7,000 compensation from M. Milligan, P. Eng. responsible for the original engineering design, and $7,000 from the Solsqua Paving Project (2005); and further, $7,000 be replenished in 2006 budget for Solsqua Paving Project. The Administrator reported as part of the Grandview Shores development, the Community Development Technician and Public Works Foreman realized an opportunity to resolve a long standing storm drainage open ditch fronting the development adjacent to Highway 97A. Staff have negotiated with the developers of Grandview Shores to cost share the installation of a storm sewer system within the easement between Grandview Shores and the Shoreline Resort properties. This is also the area of the public walkway to the new pier. The cost sharing proposal includes Grandview Shores constructing and installing a culvert supplied by the District. The estimated cost of the culvert is $10,000. The estimated cost of construction/installation is approximately $4,000. It is anticipated that when Shoreline property develops, the District will acquire their share of the costs toward this upgrade as this property will benefit from the works. Funds are available in 2005 storm drainage capital budget, which currently has a balance of approximately $20, STORM DRAINAGE MARA LAKE LANE Question Period: In-Camera: M/S Councillors Birks, Durocher THAT: the Public Works Foreman be authorized to purchase a culvert to a maximum cost of $10,000 to be funded from the Storm Drainage Capital Fund for the District s cost share with Grandview Shores, to upgrade storm drainage works from Mara Lake Lane to Mara Lake.
