Page 1 of 3 Page 3 of 23

4 Minutes of the Public Works Committee Meeting June 8, 2015 The Committee RECOMMENDS that Council support the existing Rosedale/Jarvis marked crossing as the safe route for Burns Avenue pedestrians to utilize and that further sidewalk infrastructure development be deferred to the 2016 budget discussions. Public Works Shop Addition Quote Results and Contract Award Manager Perepolkin commented that the Public Works Shop Addition project was put out for quotes but only one response was submitted. He commented that the quote received was significantly over the approved budget allocated for this work. Manager Perepolkin informed the Committee that due to the lack of interest, he could not analyze where the overages were. He further noted that he discussed with the bidder how the scope of work may be reduced but there was no opportunity to reduce it enough to meet the budget. Quotes have been sought for the City to do the work in-house and by hiring an independent project coordinator and it has been determined that the project could proceed in this fashion and within budget, The Committee RECOMMENDS that the Public Works Shop Addition quote from Maddocks Construction Ltd. be rejected and the City proceed with the project in-house. Mural at 2905 Wood Avenue Councillor O'Sullivan informed the Committee that the new owners of the building located at 2905 Wood Avenue, whose building abuts City Hall's parking lot, is interested in partnering with the City to have a mural painted on the side of the building.

As in the past, we will be contracting the services of Okanagan Traffic Control and ensure we work with the RCMP to ensure that traffic flows smoothly from 9:30am - noon. We have applied for the necessary permits from the Ministry of Transportation again - we will forward you the permits when we receive them. We are also asking for permission to close of the north exit from Highway 97A to Smith/Pleasant Valley - and to designate this as an emergency route only from 8am - 1-pm, which will be controlled by a certified flagger. ln past discussion with the RCMP, Fire Department, Search & Rescue and Ambulance, it was felt that there needed to be a designated emergency route available onto Highway 974 without going through the traffic at Smith and at Rosedale. We would also request the use of barricades from the Public Works Department, as in the past. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your support of the parade in the past - we appreciate the opportunity to partner with you to present this annual fun family event. Sincerely, Pa oonan, Executive Director Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Centre cc: Armstrong RCMP Page 23 of 23
