BACKGROUND:
Montgomery Creek, a tributary of Lower Schneider Creek, drains a watershed area of 846.3
hectares and is situated entirely within the City of Kitchener (the City). The City has identified a
section of Montgomery Creek between Wilson Ave and Vanier Drive that requires restoration.
This area was prioritized in the Integrated Stormwater Management Master Plan (ISWMMP) in
2016 due to risk associated with an exposed watermain that is located above ground in the
watercourse, under the Vanier Dr bridge. The project is multifaceted and includes design for a
new bridge (Vanier Dr), a new pedestrian bridge, and realignment and paving of existing trails
within Wilson Park. This project will restore degraded sections of the watercourse using the
approach of natural channel design to repair and mitigate the erosive forces associated with
urban stormwater.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
In addition to the costs anticipated in this quotation, the design and implementation of these
types of projects typically involves City staff and resources from across the Corporation. These
costs are included in the line item "Projected Costs: Staff Time", and will be itemized when they
exceed $125,000.00. Included in this line item are staff time and expenses for all City staff in
support of the project such as Engineering, Kitchener Utilities, and Transportation Planning. The
line item also includes all regulatory permitting, geotechnical and material testing, detouring and
traffic control, alternate access and parking requirements and any other miscellaneous costs.
Projects utilizing in-house staff will include costs for inspection during construction and contract
administration.
The net cost for this quotation (A), is fair and reasonable but the upset limit exceeds the budget
allowance (B) for the project. Additional funding for this purchase is provided by a contribution
from Parks & Cemeteries, the Miscellaneous Creek Rehab program, and the Stormwater
Management Fee account. The estimated surplus (E) will be returned to the various sources of
funding upon completion of the project.
