BACKGROUND: The Engineering Services Division administers road and sewer / watermain reconstruction projects as part of the City's accelerated infrastructure replacement program where, underground services are replaced based age and condition. In December 2005, an engineering agreement was executed between the City of Kitchener and McCormick Rankin to complete the design and construction administration of the Water / Francis Street reconstruction project. This agreement was signed in accordance with the terms and conditions noted in Expression of Interest (E05-028) for Consultant Services, dated April 2005, at an initial estimate of $124,999.99 including contingency, plus GST. As a result of increased scope of work, design complexities and additional working days (40) for construction, the consultant's fee was extended to $206,253.90 including contingency, plus GST. REPORT: In 2008, Council awarded tender T07-098, Water Street North and Francis Street North Reconstruction to Clearway Construction Inc. of Concord, ON. Clearway commenced construction in the spring of 2008 and completed the project later that fall. 2-1 During construction, it was determined that there was additional design work required from McCormick Rankin, and their subconsultant, Lumar Fire Protection Inc, to reconfigure a separate water l fire service to 53 Water Street North, Alexandria Apartments. Through consultation with the property representative, Lumar initiated a redesign of the building's internal fire protection system where, the existing water service (secondary) became obsolete and reworked internally. Lumar completed both, the design and construction aspects of this work.
