BACKGROUND

AGCC&L was opened to the public in October 2003.  As a result of the heavy use of the facility, it became evident that the existing parking lot cannot accommodate the public during peak hours.  This was discussed at the Building and Parks Construction Committee.  The Committee agreed that it was necessary to proceed with this expansion.  The CAO and Commissioners Committee (CCC) approved proceeding with this project at its meeting of

May 4, 2005.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

The preliminary cost estimate for this project prepared by the engineering consultant was $230,000 including construction costs, contingency and engineering.  Of this amount, $22,400 has been committed for engineering and $10,000 is required for geotechnical work.  This leaves a balance of $197,600.

 

The lowest bid price for construction is $211,588.79. A contingency allowance of $15,000 should be added to this amount to allow for any unforeseen costs. Therefore, the total cost to award this contract is $226,588.79, exclusive of GST. 

 

Additional funding of $28,988.79 ($226,588.79 - $197,600.00) is required to award this contract.  Including the consulting costs, the estimated cost of this project is $260,000 (rounded = $226,588.79 construction + $22,400 engineering + $10,000 geotechnical work).  The original 2006 capital submission for the AGCC&L parking lot was $230,000.  The additional funding of $30,000 ($260,000 - $230,000) will be included as an update to the 2006 Capital Requisition Form. 

 

Pre-Budget approval is recommended so that the contract may be awarded and construction started in 2005.
