REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report No. 11 -Works Committee -Various Matters
A meeting of the Works Committee was held Monday, February 13th, 1978
at 7:45 p.m. in Committee Room #1 at the Administrative Centre.
Present were: Councillor Ostick, Councillor Simmons, Clerk Administrator
Mr. K.B. Rodger, Town Engineer Mr. H. Borgdorff and Town
Superintendent Mr. W. Walker.
Item #1 -·Contract Extras
The Committee questioned the Town Engineer and Superintendent about
the extra claimed by Lamco Construction Ltd. for the work in re-
connecting the T.H. Oliver sewer lateral to the Town Sewer. The
Committee approved payment but instructed the Engineers to amend
the specifications to avoid further such occurrences. The Engineer
and Town Superintendent are to ensure that· in future, extras of an
expensive or unusual nature be approved of, prior to their incorporation
into the payment certificate.
Item #2 -Supervision of Construction of Industrial Land
The Committee recommend that the Town Engineers be responsible for
the supervision of the contract. The Engineers have agreed that a
Town employed inspector be used on the job but under the direct
control of the Engineers. The normal line of communication will be
unchanged, i.e. Town Superintendent to senior Town Engineer represent-
ative on site.
Item #3 -Garbage Collection Contract
The Committee considered the York Sanitation request for a 5% increase
in addition to the contract increase based on 2/3 of the consumer
price index. It is difficult to compare the price with other local
municipalities because of contractual differences. The Committee
will meet with York Sanitation at their next regular meeting and try
to negotiate a price for the next three to five years if Council
approves.
