DATE OF REPORT: March 24, 2017
REPORT NO.: INS-17-067
SUBJECT: Work Permit Bylaw
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That user fees outlined within report INS-17-067 be referred to the 2018 Operating Budget
Process;
That the Municipal Code be updated to include a new Chapter 890 Work Permit bylaw and
that Council Policy #I-truction and Work Area Traffic Control S
repealed and replaced by Chapter 890 Work Permit bylaw; and,
That staff be directed to bring forward an amendment to Chapter 101 of the City of
Kitchener Municipal Code to facilitate enforcement of this proposed work permit bylaw;
and further,
That a 12 month temporary Traffic Project Coordinator position be referred to the 2018
Operating Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Kitchener owns and is generally responsible for all infrastructure within the municipal
roadway right-of-way. to ensure that it maintains care and control of
its infrastructure; andthat any work within the right of way be managed to ensure public safety
andto protect against damages to its infrastructure.
Work permits are required in order to provide authorization for any work completed within the
right of way in order to track activity and approvals, provide infrastructure analysis, ensure safe
11 - 1
traffic control and operation on municipal roads and ensure proper restoration of municipal
assets.
A review of work permit process was undertaken in order to improve processes and
continue positive working relationships with contractors. It should be noted that other
municipalities within the Region of Waterloo have proceeded with similar updates to their work
permit process, including the implementation of user fees for the issuance of work permits.
Throughout the review, it was evident that there is a desire to provide consistent practices
across the Region related to work permits and the overall process.
REPORT:
Work Permit Process
Work permits are currently logged digitally to maintain formal records of the permits issued as
an essential part of managing liabilities in the event of damage as well as ensuring that
restoration of City assets has been undertaken. The existing work permit process is as follows:
Complete and submit work permit application form
Allow 5 business days for review and permit processing, 10 business days for any road
closures or complex project works
Provide to the City at minimum, a sketch illustrating the planned work area/zone, and
traffic management plan in compliance with the Ontario Traffic Manual, Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the Ontario Health and Safety Act
Submit insurance documentation as required with the application for review
Include the approved Municipal Consent (if applicable).
Updating the work permit bylaw is not proposed to change this process, but to enhance it with
updated bylaw support.
Survey of Area Municipalities
As part of work permit review, asurvey was conducted of area
municipalities to determine how other areas process their permits and fees. The City of
Cambridge, City of Waterloo and City of Guelph were contacted as part of the review for
comparisons of current practices
In reviewing processes used by these jurisdictions, the process for issuing work permits is
relatively consistent.The primary difference in process identified through the review is that
these area municipalities require anon-refundable permit fee. While the fees vary, the rationale
for fees was consistent; recover municipal related costs by works conducted by private entities.
It should be noted that thewhile the Regionof Waterloocurrently charge apermit fee,
they are in the process of developing a fee schedule which should be implementedin the
coming months.
11 - 2
Fee Structure
A work permit fee structure is recommended to be consistent with other area jurisdictions. The
fees in Table 1 below are consistent with current area practice, while continuing to be affordable
for smaller contractor businesses and homeowners that may be completing work in the right-of-
way.
Table 1 - City of Kitchener Proposed Work Permit User Fee Schedule
Fee DescriptionProposed 2018 Rate
"Work Permit" Road Occupancy Permit$110 Administration Fee
Road way closure or partial closures (plus additional
$75 per lane/per day or part there of
fees for City Operations staff time/callouts and material
(Maximum of $150.00 per day)
for City sign setup and removal)
Mobile Crane$200 Administration Fee
These fees should be reviewed through the 2018 operating budget process and subsequently
adopted into the City of Kitchener User Fee Schedule, beginning in 2018. It should be noted that
the fees above are for administrative permit fees only. Full road closure costs vary considerably,
and therefore cost recovery charges will still apply.
Proposed Work Permit Bylaw
Currently, the City of Kitchener has Council Policy #I-
In order to improve
contractor compliance and establish user fees related to work permits, a formalized Work Permit
By-law has been developed and is attached in Appendix 1.Thisby-law, based on the Region of
Waterloo work permit bylaw, will enable staff to better regulate, recover costs associated with
the work permit process and enforce for non-compliance.
It is anticipated that the by-law will improve efficiency of work permit issuance, provide a more
formalized process and address enforcement requirements when confronted with difficult work
zones/contractors. A report to further address enforcement requirements will be submitted to
Council recommending appropriate Transportation staff be designated as Municipal Law
Enforcement Officers as necessary.
Utility Comments
The City has discussed the proposed work permit by-law and fee structure with the local utilities
(KW Hydro, Bell, and Rogers Communications). Based on direction provided by Legal Services,
recognizing existing Municipal Access Agreements already in place,it is recommended that
Bell, Rogers and KW Hydrobe exemptfrom any future permit fees.It should be noted that
Operationswill continue to bill these utilitiesfor cost recovery related to any lane closures
and/or road closures that are required to be completed as part of their work.
11 - 3
Traffic Project Coordinator Position
Atemporary Traffic Project Coordinator was created/hired in August 2015 in order to assist
current staff responsibilities due to the impact on staff time resulting from
Rapid Transit (LRT) project new Highway 7 project. An extension of this
temporary position was approved until the end of 2017 as the LRT and Highway 7 projects
continue. It is recommended that a further 12 month extension for this temporary position be
referred to the 2018 Operating Budget based on:
Greater work demand that will result from the accelerated infrastructure program
Increased off-site works
A reflection of the continual growth in this work area.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommendation of this report supports that achievement of the c
through the delivery of core service.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Table 2 below is a reflection of the financial implications that could have been realized in 2016
based on the proposed work permit fee schedule.

The cost of the proposed Temporary Traffic Project Coordinator for an additional 12 month
period is approximately $80,000. A net revenue of approximately $85,000 is anticipated subject
