Surrey city council will vote on $5,847,523.19 in public works contracts on June 15 with a combined spending limit set at $6,517,742.
These include a $420,000 contract for McElhanney Ltd. for the preliminary design of the 24 Avenue and Highway 99 interchange ramps and an $839,984.25 consultancy agreement, also to McElhanney Ltd., for engineering services related to improving 16 Avenue between 192 Street and 196 Street.
Council will also vote on a $1,009,280.58 contract award to Sandpiper Contracting LLP for 1,200 metres’ worth of sidewalk improvements at six locations in North Surrey, a $977,240.25 contract for Complete Utility Contractors Ltd. related to drainage and environmental work at four locations in North Surrey, a $480,216.45 award to Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. for engineering services related to 140 Street road improvements from 72 Avenue to 80B Avenue, and a $584,745 consultancy agreement with Centras Engineering Ltd. for engineering services related to Newton Sanitary Trunk upgrades.
Scott Neuman, Surrey’s general manager of engineering, notes in a corporate report coming before council that this involves the detailed design of roughly 2.5 kilometres of sanitary trunk sewer infrastructure and flow diversion work along 138 Street, 68 Avenue, and Hyland Road to support growth in the Newton Town Centre and Newton-King George Boulevard development areas. “The total capital value of this project is estimated to be $14 million,” he said.
Council will also be voting on a $720,836.66 contract award for Richco Contracting Ltd. for a construction package related to replacing an aging and undersized distribution watermain crossing at Highway 99, and a $815,220 contract award for Mack Kirk Industries Ltd. for Surrey City Hall parkade restoration.
Joey Brar, Surrey’s general manager of corporate services, said construction for this is expected to begin in July with “substantial completion” by November. He noted in a corporate report that restoration of P1 and P2 levels of the parkade will be done in a “phased approach that will allow the parkade to remain operational throughout construction, with efforts made to minimize disruption to parkade users and City Hall staff.
Brar noted the underground parkade was built in 2013.
“Following more than a decade of use, portions of the concrete surfaces and protective traffic deck coating systems have experienced normal wear and deterioration and now require repair and replacement to maintain the long-term integrity of the facility,” he explained.
