Date of Report: 2006-10-24
Report No: FIN 06-046
Subject: T06-088 -Stonegate Watercourse Restoration Project
RECOMMENDATION
That tender T06-088, Stonegate Watercourse Restoration Project, be awarded to Network Site
Services Ltd., Cambridge, Ontario at their corrected tendered price of $428,911.17, including
miscellaneous, provisional items and contingency of $75,983.90 and G.S.T., and further that the
Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
BACKGROUND
The Stonegate Watercourse is located between Highway 8 and Stonegate Drive, flowing in a
southeasterly direction to the Grand River. The watercourse conveys runoff from a catchment
area of 16 ha., including both the adjacent subdivision and open space lands further to the
northwest.
The watercourse is located in a deeply incised gully dropping a total of 15 metres, with an
average gradient of 13 percent. Based on the finding of a site reconnaissance and a detailed
survey, it was clear that the watercourse has been steadily downcutting for a number of years.
The downcutting has likely accelerated since construction of the subdivision approximately
twenty years ago.
The majority of the gully is located on lands owned by the Grand River Conservation Authority.
A number of residents on Stonegate Drive and one on Hofstetter Drive back onto the gully,
although property lines generally remain above the top of the gully embankments.
It was concluded that remedial works would be required in the valley to prevent further
downcutting and to stabilize the existing steep embankments.
