REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING 2 MAY 25, 1993 3 PAGE 5 4 5 Mr . Madigan also explained the statutorial requirements which 6 must be met for a project to be an assessable project . He 7 advised that tonight there are two public hearings being held, 8 one for the project and one for the assessment . 9 10 Mr . Cochrane questioned the need for the project . He felt the 11 street condition was not bad enough to warrant replacement . 12 Mr . Madigan responded that some of the decision is based on 13 science and some is also subjective and based on judgement and 14 experience . It was also noted that the street surface has 15 bumps , cracks, holes and its driveability is affected. There 16 also appears to be consideable movement of the sewer pipes 17 beneath the street . This was detemined with televising the 18 pipes . 19 20 Joe Sevick , 3505 31st Avenue, inquired if his inground 21 sprinkler system will be affected with this reconstruction. 22 The sprinkler heads are directly adjacent to the curb. Mr . 23 Madigan advised there will be a on-site inspector for this 24 project and Mr . Sevick should make this person aware of the 25 sprinkler system. The contractor should be advised of any �6 situations which may be affected by the project . Mr . Sevick was also advised by staff he should deal directly with the 28 contractor regarding his intention to do some cement work on 29 his driveway. 30 31 Michael Bye, 3024 Croft Drive, noticed there was a 32 considerable drop in the reconstruction costs from the 33 estimated costs . He inquired if there was also a decrease in 34 the overlay costs . Mr . Madigan advised there was an error made 35 in the cost sheet for the overlay project . It was figured at 36 a 35/65 % split which was incorrect . It should have been a 37 50/50% split . 38 39 Mr . Bye also noted that an overlay could be done on his street 40 ten times for what the reconstruction is costing. He was 41 advised that ten layers of bituminous could not be applied to 42 the street as it would be so high it would not be drivable . 43 44 Councilmember Enrooth explained that a reconstruction project 45 does more than replace the surface of a street such as the 46 overlay. He noted the sewer and water services are also 47 replaced and the street is reconstructed whereby the subgrade 48 and base under the street is replaced. The sewer pipe on this 49 street has been viewed and it moves a great deal as the area 50 is not secure .
