Report CAO-43/16 by Paul Shipway, CAO re PW-3 — Maple Grove Line g,AYHA ? :41Ikkgiogia• REPORT CAO -wttunity Is TO: Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Paul Shipway, CAO DATE: June 16, 2016 REPORT: CAO-43/16 SUBJECT: PW-3 - MAPLE GROVE LINE BACKGROUND On April 21, 2016 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed By-law No. 2016-030, being a by-law to adopt the 2016 Capital Budget. Within By-law 2016-030 is Capital Project PW-3 in the amount of$50,000, being the first year of a proposed three year reconstruction of Maple Grove Line. DISCUSSION To date Public Works have initiated and/or completed brushing, tree removal, stump removal, rough ditch cuts, berm removal, road base bore holes and a drainage assessment on Maple Grove Line. The drainage assessment and bore holes provide information on the road base, drainage outlets and culverts required. The drainage assessment indicates that Maple Grove Line requires approximately 50 culverts (road crossing and laneway) and 5 catch basins. The bore holes and drainage assessment also indicate that approximately one (1) kilometre of road base will need to be removed as it is largely top soil, filter cloth applied and the road base rebuilt with the appropriate granular products. The initial project scope would see culverts, road base repairs, pulverization and gravel application in year two of the project (2017) and final grading and hard surfacing in year three of the project (2018). Staff would respectfully request Council to authorize a component acceleration from the aforementioned plan and provide pre-budgetary approval for staff to conduct culvert replacement activities in 2016. The project budget and overall timeline would remain unchanged, 2017 would still require the capital allocation of approximately $150,000, however staff would advance a portion of that funding to obtain and install culverts and catch basins. The benefits of conducting culvert replacement activities in 2016 as opposed to 2017 is as follows: 1) Timing a. Large road crossing culvert replacement will require multiple road closures, conducting these activities in the late summer months avoids school bus rerouting. 2) Material-Equipment a. The Municipality currently has roadside stockpiles of soil to place around the culverts and conduct culvert buildout/backfilling. Should the replacement be deferred until 2017 the road side stockpiles will be moved offsite for the winter and required to be hauled back onsite in 2017. b. Equipment is currently onsite. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report CAO-43/16 re PW-3 - Maple Grove Line be received for information; 2. AND THAT Council direct staff to utilize the Gas Tax Reserve to procure and install culverts on Maple Grove Line in 2016; 3. AND THAT the Gas Tax Reserve be refunded with the 2017 Maple Grove Line Capital project allocation. Respectfully Submitted by: Paul Shipway CAO
