IMPROVEMENTS -NOISE EXEMPTION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and its contractors} be exempt from the

Construction Work during the Bridgeport Bridge and Bridge Street Improvements project
in the City of Kitchener. The request for the noise by-law exemption is only between the
hours of 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for the period March 23, 2009
to November 30, 2009.
BACKGROUND:
The Region of Waterloo contract for the Bridgeport Bridge and Bridge Street Improvements
commenced on March 12, 2009 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of November,
2009. This project includes the following planned work:
Redevelopment of 623 Lancaster Street
Temporary modular bridge installation
Traffic diversion to the temporary modular bridge
Bridge rehabilitation, road works, watermain replacement.
REPORT:
In order to complete the work and minimize traffic disruption for the Bridgeport Bridge and
Bridge Street improvements, extended hours and weekend work must take place in order to
complete the project in the time allotment. This exemption is requested in order to complete the
work as required. The present work that is proposed to date for overnight includes:
On the full Easter Weekend from April 10, 2009 to April 14, 2009 Lancaster Street will be
closed from Shirk Place to Bridge St with traffic maintained on Bridge Street across the
Bridgeport Bridge and all other traffic will be redirected to Shirk Place /Woolwich Street
detour. This work is to facilitate construction of the approach roads to the temporary
modular bridge. This work has been communicated by letter to all residents and
businesses directly affected. These dates were chosen due to the holiday weekend in
order to minimize the impact on adjacent businesses and school /daycare operations.
SCOPE OF WORK:
There are several stages to the Bridgeport Bridge work along with the Bridge Street
improvements. These include:
Temporary Modular Bridge Installation -installation of the temporary modular bridge
across the Grand River at Bridge Street is scheduled to commence around Monday
March 16, 2009 and will last for approximately 3 weeks. This function will not require
any road closures; however delays to motorists and pedestrians can be expected in
the vicinity as the contractor is mobilizing equipment and materials adjacent to both
Bridge and Lancaster Streets
Traffic Diversion to the Temporary Modular Bridge - to facilitate construction of the
approach roads to the temporary modular bridge, Lancaster Street must be closed
immediately west of Bridge Street over the Easter weekend, from approximately April
10, 2009 to April 14, 2009. Traffic will be maintained on Bridge Street across the
Bridgeport Bridge and redirected to use Shirk Place/ Woolwich Street.
Bridge Rehabilitation, Road Works, Watermain Replacement -April to November
2009 - On approximately April 14, 2009 traffic will be diverted onto the Temporary
Modular Bridge and onto the primary detour route for the project northbound traffic
via Shirk Place and southbound Bridge Street traffic via Hwy 85). The temporary
bridge across the Grand River will maintain one lane of traffic in each direction as
well as providing a sidewalk. This primary detour is in place while Bridgeport Bridge
is rehabilitated, a roundabout is constructed at the intersection of Bridge and
Lancaster Streets, resurfacing of Bridge Street from Lancaster to Woolwich Street ,
road resurfacing and sidewalk installation on Lancaster Street from General Drive to
Bridge Street and watermain replacement on Bridge Street from Bloomingdale Road
to north of Tyson Drive.
TYPE OF NOISE:
The majority of the noise will be created by removal of the overlay in the areas of delamination,
which will require a saw cut around each area, then scraping and/or chipping off with small
jackhammers} the unsound concrete to complete the removal. Other noise will be created by
removal of the deck overlay, which will require use of a milling machine, then scraping and/ or
chipping off with jackhammers} the unsound concrete to complete the removal. This work will
be undertaken during permitted working hours X7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.} at each stage, to prepare
for the much quieter waterproofing and paving operations to follow each stage of the work.
2
These additional hours of permitted work are requested to allow for the most impactful work
operations to be conducted during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., allowing for less
impactful operations such as preparation work, forms preparation and removal and general site
clean up to be completed outside of these hours. This less impactful work will not commence
before 6:00 a.m. and is expected to go no later than 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m., with the occasional
requirement towork until 10:00 pm.
Noise protocol will be followed, which covers administrative measures such as scheduling of
noisy activities at times of least impact, selection of haulage routes to minimize close proximity
to neighbours, and maintaining contact with residents.
Additionally, the Region of Waterloo and their consultant have advised that any changes to the
work schedule proposed by the contractor will be addressed on its own merits and that any
additional noise impacts outside of the permitted hours will require further approval and resident
communication, as well as City of Kitchener Council approval.
In order to expedite the construction and allow extended hours of work to take place for this
project, thereby minimizing traffic impacts, we recommend that this request for a noise by-law
exemption be granted.
DURATION:
Regular working hours will include and are permitted 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to
Saturday; however the Contractor is requesting to work extended hours when required to
complete work sensitive to traffic issues and to benefit the project timelines. Regular extended
hours will include 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday
Sunday work is anticipated to occur between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and would be limited to
general clean up and preparation work where formal inspection would not be necessary. No
concrete removals would take place on Sunday's in order to limit noise. Work and equipment
on Sundays may include the use of:
Building and removing access -equipment may include forklift
Building and removing formwork equipment may include forklift and hand tools
Installing reinforcing bays -equipment may include forklift
Removing debris -equipment may include skid steer.
All additional work will be assessed by City staff for allowing extended hours and will be defined
as a benefit to the project. Council will be notified at least a minimum of 48 hours in advance of
the work as the need arises.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
COMMUNICATIONS:
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo and its contractor will communicate the expectation of
extended working hours to area residents and have been actively advising of any changes as
they develop.
3
CONCLUSION:
In order to expedite the construction and allow extended hours of work to take place for this
project, thereby minimizing traffic impacts on these arterial roadways, we recommend that this
request for a noise by-law exemption be granted.

Dear Sir/Madam:
Re: Bridgeport Bridge And Bridge Street Improvements, Region of Waterloo Contract 2009-001,
City of Kitchener
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with information about the upcoming contract for the Bridgeport
Bridge and Bridge Street Improvements. Some of this information is a repeat of information which you may
have previously received, but this letter is an update of some aspects of the project.
Scope of WorklDetour
The Region of Waterloo contract for the Bridgeport Bridge and Bridge Street Improvements is scheduled to
commence on or about March 12, 2009 with completion by the end of November 2009. The contractor being
recommended for approval by the Region of Waterloo to complete the work is ConCreate USL Limited. The
project includes the following areas of construction:
1) 623 Lancaster Street Redevelopment-closure of Lancaster Street immediately west of Bridge Street
on March 12 and March 13 to complete municipal service connections forthe redevelopment of this
property. The redevelopment of thisproject isrequired tofacilitatethe overall Regional construction

Street.
2) Temporary Modular Bridge Installation -installation of the temporary modular bridge across the
Grand River at Bridge Street is scheduled to commence around Monday March 16, 2009 and will last
for approximately 3 weeks. This function will not require any road closures; however delays to
motorists and pedestrians can be expected in the vicinity as the contractor is mobilizing equipment
and materials adjacent to both Bridge and Lancaster Streets
3) Traffic Diversion to the Temporary Modular Bridge - to facilitate construction of the approach roads to
the temporary modular bridge, Lancaster Street must be closed immediately west of Bridge Street
over the Easter weekend, from approximately April 10, 2009 to April 14, 2009. Traffic will be
maintained on Bridge Street across the Bridgeport Bridge and redirected to use Shirk Place/

Hours of Work
Working hours are permitted from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday; however the Contractor has
requested approval from the Region of Waterloo and the City of Kitchener to work extended hours. Staff will
assess the request for extended hours and will seek Kitchener Council's approval if there is a defined benefit
to the project.
Driveway Access
The Contractor is required to maintain temporary routes of access to all properties within the construction
limits. However, activities such as deep excavations, concrete pouring/curing and asphalt placement will
require short-term access restrictions at driveways adjacent to the construction. Where a disruption to a
driveway is expected, the Contractor isrequired tohand-deliver a notice at least 48 hours in advance advising
of the time and duration of the drivewaydisruption. This notice will also indicate an alternate nearby parking
location which the Contractor must arrange for and coordinate whenever a driveway needs to be blocked.
Pedestrian Access
Pedestrian access will be maintained for the duration of the contract. Where the sidewalk is close to deep
excavations or equipment, the sidewalk will be separated from the work area by temporary fencing.
Emergency Services
Both City of Kitchener and City of Waterloo Fire Departments along with Waterloo Regional Police and
Ambulance Service have been advised of the traffic restrictions and detour routes during the construction
period. The Region of Waterloo and its Contractor will be in close contact with these emergency services to
help ensure that these services are maintained at all times.
Garbage and Recycling Collection
During construction, we ask that you continue to place your garbage and blue boxes at the end of your
driveway for pick-up as usual. When garbage collection vehicles do not have access to your driveway, our
Contractor will deliver your garbage and recyclables to a location that has been coordinated with Region of
Waterloo, Waste Management Services, and then return the empty containers afterwards.
We ask that all residents impacted by this please mark their containers with their address for easy
identification.
Construction Eauiament Imaact
During construction, those properties adjacent to active construction may feel some vibrations from the
construction equipment which is normal and expected for this type of construction; however, it should be
minor. Please remove light, fragile or delicate objects from shelves when construction activity is taking place
adjacent to your property. If you have any concerns regarding vibrations, we ask that you call us immediately
so that we may see how the Contractor can modify their operation to reduce the vibration effects.
Water Service Shutdowns
There will be a brief water service shutdown forthose properties adjacent to the watermain replacement on
Bridge Street from Bloomingdale Road to just north of Tyson Drive. A notice of water service interruption will
be delivered to the door of those affected a minimum of 48 hours before this required water service
shutdown, which is expected to occur during the later stages of the project September/October).
