15 16 ITEM #4
To: GENERAL COMMITTEE
Meeting Date: 09/03/2019
Subject: Beverly Street (Dundas Street North to Elgin Street North) - Detailed Design and Project Scope Change
Submitted By: James Etienne, City Engineer
Prepared By: Prasad Samarakoon, Project Engineer
Report No.: 19-225(CD)
File No.: P2017-58
Recommendation(s)
THAT Council approve the additional scope of work for the Beverly Street reconstruction design, Dundas Street West to Samuelson Street;
AND THAT the current design consultant, BT Engineering, be retained to perform this work;
AND FURTHER THAT funding in the amount of $199,941.60 be added to A/00081-20 (Beverly Street EA and Detailed Design) and drawn from Water, Wastewater and Capital Works Reserve fund in amounts identified in report 19-225(CD).
Executive Summary
Purpose
• The objective of the report is to request approval for the additional scope of work for Beverly Street reconstruction (Dundas Street North to Elgin Street North) design to include full underground infrastructure replacement. The original scope of work was for multi-use path, pedestrian underpass and intersection improvements as part of the Beverly Street EA.
Key Findings
• Following the completion of the Beverly Street EA, it has been determined that underground infrastructure within the project limits should also be considered for concurrent replacement during construction. This includes the Region of
17 Waterloo’s requirement for new dual use trunk watermain. This will require additional design scope of work to be added to the project. Financial Implications
• An additional $199,941.60 is required for the additional design scope of work. This includes storm, sanitary sewer, trunk watermain upgrades and road reconstruction not originally part of the project.
Background
The City retained the consultant BT Engineering through a request for proposal process, project P2017-58 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Schedule B) - Beverly Street (Dundas Street N to Elgin Street N) Transportation Assessment in February 2018. The project was initiated to establish an improved means of pedestrian and cyclist travel along the Beverly Street corridor, considering the narrow roadway restriction at the existing CP Rail overpass. The initial scope of work included a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for active transportation facilities and detailed design of the preferred alternative. The EA was filed on June 3rd 2019, with no comments received during the 30 day review period completed on July 3rd, 2019.The recommended improvements in the short and mid-term horizon are for new traffic signals, multi-use trail, new pedestrian underpass tunnel at the CP Rail Crossing and intersection improvements at the Beverly Street and Samuelson Street intersection. BT Engineering’s scope of work includes the design of these active transportation improvements as recommended under the EA. Prior to the completion of the EA, the Region of Waterloo made the City aware of their plans for a new trunk watermain alignment along Beverly Street. This is part of their long term pressure boundary upgrades, and includes re-alignment of their trunk watermain network. In reviewing the condition of the storm and sanitary infrastructure on Beverly Street and the current road condition, Staff have determined that it would be worthwhile to coordinate the reconstruction of Beverly Street with the active transportation improvements. As BTE is already undertaking detailed design scope within the project limits, there would be significant coordination and duplication of work challenges if a different consultant were retained for the additional reconstruction scope of work. BT Engineering has submitted a detailed proposal and work plan to complete the additional design work (Refer to Appendix A & B attached). This includes topographic survey of the roadway, geotechnical investigations, utility coordination, Sanitary, Watermain and Storm drainage design, preparation of drawings and specifications and regulatory approvals for the expanded infrastructure replacement. BT Engineering has started the design of the active transportation upgrades, and staff recognizes that these upgrades are a Council priority to build a safe active
18 transportation route on Beverly Street. The additional scope of design work will not delay the design of these changes, which will be done concurrently. Staff is currently reviewing the best way to coordinate the construction timing for this work with the Region’s Dundas Reconstruction project through discussions with the Region. Analysis
Strategic Alignment
PROSPERITY: To support and encourage the growth of a highly competitive local economy where there is opportunity for everyone to contribute and succeed.
Goal #7 - Transportation and Infrastructure
Objective 7.2 Work with the Region and other partners to better coordinate the planning, communication and delivery of infrastructure (including roads and other transportation assets) in Cambridge.
Comments
BT Engineering has completed the Schedule B Class EA, and has started the detailed design of the multi-use trail and pedestrian tunnel. If another consultant were retained to complete the road reconstruction design, there would be significant coordination and duplication of work challenges, resulting in higher cost and schedule delay. Awarding the additional scope of work to the existing design consultant BT Engineering would benefit from economy of scale, and would allow the project to proceed to construction sooner. It is recommended that the additional scope of work be awarded to BT Engineering.
The reconstruction of Beverly Street is in line with the short and mid-term recommendations of the Transportation Master Plan, and will specifically address the Active Transportation concerns. The longer term upgrades for the additional traffic lane underpass as outlined in the Class EA would be constructed outside of the limits of the current proposed work.
Existing Policy/By-Law
In Accordance with Item 41 of the Purchasing By-Law 133-14: “Reports to Council requesting authorization to proceed with a procurement of goods and/or services where the process to be used is outside of that provided for in this by-law shall be forwarded to the Manager for approval and/or comments prior to its review by Management Committee.”
The intent of Corporate Policy COR – 160.010 regarding budget control for capital funded projects and the Purchasing By-Law #133-14 as amended are satisfied by awarding this additional scope of work as outlined above.
19 Financial Impact
A summary of the additional design fees, and those already allocated to the completed Schedule B Class EA and Active Transportation Upgrades design for Beverly Street is presented in the table below.
Expenditures Account # Amount a) Additional Scope of Work A/00081-20 $196,483.10 (Reconstruction of Roadway and underground Infrastructure Design for Beverly Street) HST $25,542.80 Less HST $22,084.31 Rebate (x.8646) Total (a) $199,941.60 b) Already Committed/ Spent Schedule B Class EA –Beverly Street A/00081-20 $129,825.10 (Completed) Detailed Design of Multi-Use Trail, A/00081-20 $89,513.40 Pedestrian Underpass Tunnel, and Intersection Improvements (Committed) Subtotal $219,338.50 HST $28,514.00 Less HST $24,653.21 Rebate (x.8646) Total (b) $223,199.30 Total (a+b) $423,140.89
20 The additional funding required for the Beverly Street Reconstruction design is $199,941.60. The proposed financing for this project is presented in the table below.
Account # Description Amount 408001 Capital Works Reserve Fund $66,647.20 408004 Waste Water Capital Reserve Fund $66,647.20 408006 Water System Capital Reserve Fund $66,647.20 Total Financing $ 199,941.60 Prior to construction, the City will establish the portion of design fees above attributable to the Region. This will be based on the watermain costs compared to the overall project costs. These fees will be billed to the Region as part of the roadway reconstruction and cost sharing on the watermain.
Public Input
On May 14, 2019 the Planning & Development Committee received a presentation and recommendations that the Beverly Street Transportation Assessment (EA) – Environmental Study Report be received and authorizing staff to post the Notice of Study Completion for 30-day public review. The public review period closed on July 3, 2019 without any appeals to the Minister allowing staff to proceed with project design.
One public information centre has been held to date to obtain public feedback on the multiuse trail project. Staff anticipates one additional public information centre to communicate the additional roadway reconstruction scope of work.
Internal/External Consultation
Engineering staff have had internal meetings with the Project Management Office, Transportation Engineering, Asset management and Procurement Division to discuss the scope changes to current multiuse trail construction detail design. Staff agrees that BT Engineering should be retained to complete the additional design work that is required. Consultation with the Region is ongoing for coordination with the Dundas Reconstruction project.
Conclusion
As outlined herein, City Staff recommend the addition of scope of work for the Beverly Street reconstruction design to the existing contract with BT Engineering. This additional scope of work will require an additional $199,941.60 in design fees.

1.3 Background Studies In May 2019, BTE completed the Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the planning of active transportation facilities on Beverly Street from Dundas Street North to Elgin Street North (see Study Area in Figure 1). The EA was initiated to establish an improved means for pedestrians and cyclists to travel along the corridor. The study developed a phased roadway improvement plan that respects the built-up area along the corridor and its existing constraints. The three phases of the Recommended Plan include: • Phase 1 (immediate implementation): Traffic signals at the CP Rail Crossing and improved signage/pavement markings; 1.94 m sidewalk on the east side of the CP Rail Crossing. • Phase 2 (mid-term improvements): Traffic signals at the CP Rail Crossing and improved signage/pavement markings; 5.94 m general purpose lane; 4.0 m multi-use trail (MUT) behind the existing south abutment; and removal of the channelized westbound lane from Beverly Street to Samuelson Street with a westbound right turn taper. • Phase 3 (long-term improvements - requires additional study): Construction of a single lane bridge east of the east abutment to allow 2-way flow. Following completion of the Environmental Assessment, the project Figure 1: Study Area proceeded to detail design for the transportation improvements. The original scope of work for the detailed design was limited to the implementation of a multi-use path (MUP) on the east side of Beverly Street including a tunnel structure under the CP rail bridge. In June 2019, while completing the detailed design, the City of Cambridge became aware of the Region of Waterloo’s plans to complete infrastructure improvements in and adjacent to the project area. These improvements included the reconstruction of Dundas Street including a roundabout at the Dundas Street and Beverly Street intersection and installation of a 450mm trunk watermain on Beverly Street between Dundas and Samuelson Streets. As the Region works would have direct impact on the Beverly Street corridor, the City completed a full review of existing infrastructure to determine if improvements were required and if so whether they could be designed and completed in conjunction with the Region’s work to streamline construction. From this review, the City determined that both the existing storm and sanitary sewer systems required improvements, which triggered the expansion of the scope of works and release of this request for proposal. This proposal describes our intended work program and fees for the scope of work identified in the RFP.

3 PROJECT APPROACH/METHODOLOGY 3.1 Approach - Management Project Management and Team Structure: BTE has successfully delivered urban road reconstruction projects by having senior level staff provide input and guidance to the project team using biweekly consultant team conference calls to allow continuous involvement and maintain the project schedule. The Project Manager will be Mr. Steve Taylor. Mr. Taylor will provide overall project direction to the design team and will be the point of contact for the City PM. He will take the lead role in engaging and managing input from City Departments, the Region of Waterloo and other agencies and will manage the sub-consultant team throughout the project. Mr. Taylor will provide guidance on design solutions to the project team, including the dialogue with approving agencies. Schedule: Our objective will be to deliver the preliminary design on time and on budget. If necessary, advance utility relocations can be planned. Any project delays will be identified at project team meetings and in the monthly Project Management Report. By utilizing Microsoft Office Project to update and track our progress throughout the project, the Percentage Complete Function can be used to readily provide a snapshot of current standing. Updated schedule tracking will be used at regular meetings to inform all team members as to progress and highlight what work is coming up in the system. Consultation Approach (Plan, Project Contact List and Notices): A consultation plan will be prepared following an initial meeting with the City. The consultation plan will document our use of the City’s website and project notices; Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to consult with external agencies; Stakeholder Groups to consult with interest groups and property owners; and individual property meetings with owners where property or temporary limited interest easements will be required. The list will be used to advise the public of the PIC. 3.2 Approach – Technical Survey: Survey works will include all road and drainage features with inverts, surface utilities, clearances to overhead utilities, vegetation, and stream bottoms for all watercourses within the topographic limits. We will establish project control throughout the site using UTM coordinates and geodetic elevations and deliver a Civil 3D
30 Page 5 City of Cambridge – Beverly Street Engineering Design Services 2019 Infrastructure Replacement/Rehabilitation Scope Change No. 2, August 8, 2019 drawing file, DTM surface and profile for the proposed centerline. The following survey scope assumptions have been made based on the terms of reference provided: • Legal and right-of-way (ROW) survey will not be required as it was established during the detailed design of the MUP works. • Survey of the CP rail crossing will not be required as it was established during the detailed design of the MUP works. The bridge abutments will be captured from street level to show a horizontal and vertical clearance of the structure. • Project limits will be finalized during the design but the survey will generally cover Beverly Street between Dundas Street and Samuelson Street intersections. Subsurface Utilities Investigation (PROVISIONAL): Callon Dietz will complete a SUE mapping investigation in accordance with the CI/ASCE Standard 38-02: Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility. See the following summary for a description of each quality level. This project will use Quality Level (QL) B in adjacent to supporting QLs C and D (QL A scope of work not included). At the project initiation phase, Callon Dietz will complete a utility records circulation for the project area and review information received from BTE. Callon Dietz Locates will coordinate site work with the topographic survey team to ensure efficiency of data collection. We will utilize single and multi-frequency geophysical utility locating techniques to determine the approximate horizontal position of conductive utilities within the limits of investigation. Utilities will be marked on site using industry standard pink paint, flags and/or stakes. Conductive mainline utilities included in the investigation are telecommunications, gas, electrical and water. Utility services to homes/buildings will not be included in the QLB investigation and will be shown based on record information when available. Callon Dietz will utilize inductive scanning techniques in critical areas, in attempt to verify any undocumented utilities. Note that utilities not identified by records are deemed ‘undocumented’. Callon Dietz will use available means in an attempt to determine the location of undocumented utilities; however, we cannot be responsible for finding all undocumented utilities. From the surface, Callon Dietz will complete an invert investigation for Water, Storm and Sanitary (VC’s, MH’s and CB’s) within the limits of investigation (if present). Information gathered within each structure will include: invert information, obvert information when invert is not available; size and material of pipes; and, offset of pipe from center of lid. We will survey the paint markings from the SUE investigation which will be completed during the topographic survey collection. During the 30% detail design stage, Callon Dietz will compile all information received into a utility drawing and project report as per the ASCE 38-02 standards. The following deliverables will be submitted: SUE drawing in CAD format and an SUE project report. It is assumed that Callon Dietz will be provided with the following: • Permission to enter private properties if site confirmation is required in these areas • Available record drawings showing underground utilities within the project limits Geotechnical: Geotechnical investigations will be completed for the Beverly Street corridor and per the previously approved scope change requests under the MUP design project will include: • One borehole at each toe of the CPR embankment and five more along Beverly for a total of seven boreholes • Analysis of the data • Recommendations for the MUP “tunnel” under CPR • Recommendations for trenchless installation under CPR • Recommendations for Storm and Sanitary replacement • Pavement design recommendations • Soil stratigraphy and groundwater levels • Suitability of dewatering effluent for discharge to sanitary sewer All of the above will be presented in a Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Report. 31 Page 6 City of Cambridge – Beverly Street Engineering Design Services 2019 Infrastructure Replacement/Rehabilitation Scope Change No. 2, August 8, 2019
Supplemental geotechnical investigation will also be required to meet the terms of reference expanded scope of work. The following tasks will be completed and have been included as separate line items in the schedule and cost breakdown. 3.3 Analytical Laboratory Testing Program: A program of analytical laboratory testing will be undertaken concurrently with the geotechnical investigation. Selected soil samples will be submitted to an independent laboratory that meets the requirements of Section 47 of Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 153/04, as amended, for chemical testing in order to obtain analytical data for a preliminary assessment of the environmental quality of potentially excavated soils and associated soil management and disposal strategies. As part of the field investigation procedures, Thurber will collect and handle soil samples in accordance with Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) sampling protocols and accepted sampling and handling procedures used by the environmental consulting industry. Soil samples will be screened in terms of colour, odours and soil gas “headspace” testing using an RKI Eagle 2 instrument calibrated to hexane for combustible gases and to isobutylene for organic vapours in the air (i.e. headspace) within sample bags to determine apparent “worst-case” samples for possible laboratory analysis. Based on our current understanding of the site history, the analytical laboratory testing program completed on selected soil samples retained from the above geotechnical investigation will comprise the following: • Fourteen (14) samples (two from each borehole) of the soils obtained from the boreholes will be analysed for selected metals and inorganics parameters in accordance with Ontario Regulation (O.Reg.) 153/04, as amended; • Seven (7) samples of the soils obtained from the boreholes will be analysed for one or more of the following: petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC) fractions F1 to F4, including benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene and xylenes (BTEX), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organochlorine (OC) pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in accordance with O. Reg. 153/04, as amended; • One (1) sample will be subjected to TCLP testing (metals and inorganics, VOCs, PCBs, B(a)P, ignitability and bulk PCBs) in accordance with O.Reg. 558/00, in order to assess if soils can be disposed at an Ontario MECP licensed facility. Additional chemical testing for PHC Fractions F1 to F4, including BTEX, PAHs, VOCs, and PCBs will not be carried out unless visual or olfactory indications of this type of contamination are present in the retained samples. If additional chemical testing is required, a budget update will be provided. In the event contamination is confirmed during the above testing, a supplemental soil sampling and analytical laboratory testing program would be required to delineate the vertical and lateral extent of contamination. Additional work will not be undertaken without prior approval from the City. The limited analytical laboratory testing program provided above does not constitute an Environmental Site Assessment as defined under the Environmental Protection Act and O. Reg. 153/04, as amended. A summary of the environmental quality of the tested soil samples will be provided within the geotechnical report with management options (i.e. reuse or landfill disposal) for materials that may potentially be excavated during construction. Establish Design Criteria: We will develop a Design Criteria sheet for all roadway geometric elements which will be circulated to the City for sign-off. This will define the design and posted speeds for the roadway and transition treatments for drivers. Technical Advisory Committee (TAC): A TAC will be formed to provide the design team with technical input for the project at key stages. Members for the TAC may be drawn from the affected City of Cambridge Departments, Region of Waterloo, MNRF, ERCA, DFO and MECP approval agencies and the various utility companies as part of our pre-consultation program. It is proposed that the TAC meetings be held at 3 month intervals through the design phase.

Roadway Design: This project will consider the preliminary road design as the basis of design unless property or utility constraints dictate assessing minor refinements in localized areas. Staging of the works will define the traffic management plan based on OTM Book 7 and temporary short term works. All standards and reference documents identified in the RFP will be met by the design team. Sanitary, Watermain and Storm Drainage Design: The Beverly Street corridor is currently serviced through underground linear infrastructure. The City has completed a CCTV review of the storm and sanitary systems and concluded that they are in need of replacement. The Region of Waterloo has also indicated plans to build a 450mm trunk watermain with connection points at each intersection end. Detailed design will include the design of these systems based on existing conditions. Watermain design will follow the Region’s desire for 450mm sizing and dual use of both a trunk and municipal service. It is expected that modelling of the water system (flows, pressures etc.) will be provided by the Region. Per previous discussions with the City of Cambridge, the design of the watermain will include trenchless installation to install the watermain beneath the existing CP Bridge without interrupting service. Storm and sanitary sewer design will be designed for the requirements of the existing adjacent properties and will not include assessment of the downstream systems or any future development. Structural Design: The structural design will be completed based on Phase II of the Environmental Assessments Recommended Plan. This included a new rectangular conventionally constructed precast pedestrian culvert (installed during a track closure of minimum 48 hours, which is a normal time for the installation of underpasses) and sidewalk connections only. Detailed Design and Tender Documents Approach Detailed Design Drawings and Cross Sections: Drawings will be prepared at 1:250(H) and 1:50(V) scale including Cover Sheet, Legend & Index, Alignment, Staging and Construction Phasing, Removals & Adjustments, Geometry & General Layout, Grading & Drainage, Plan & Profiles, Pavement Elevations, Traffic Management Plan, Traffic Signals, Street Lighting, Composite Utility Plans, Pavement Markings & Signage, Typical Cross-Sections and Non-Standard Details & Special Treatments. In addition, roadway cross-sections at 20 m intervals along the corridor will be produced and serve to define anticipated grading limits. These cross-sections will identify top of Granular B, top of Granular A, and finished pavement elevations as well as offsets from the control line. Finalized property impacts will be confirmed and Property Access/Easement Plans prepared. Final Design Circulation: A design circulation of the final contract package will be made reflecting 90% design plans and contract documents. The final design circulation will focus on contacts identifying an interest from the preliminary design circulation. The detailed design drawings will be submitted for approval via a circulation through the City’s Utility/Development Coordination Section; circulation feedback will be reviewed with the City PM. The detailed design will be updated based on comments from the circulation, City Final Review and the Constructability Review. Contract Documents: Contract documents, quantities, and cost estimates will be prepared using the City of Cambridge Standard Tender Documents for Unit Price Contracts. To reduce construction inspection requirements, Plan Quantity Payment (PQP) items will be used where possible and PQP sheets will be included in the contract documents. The complete tender package along with a pre-tender estimate will be submitted for City review and comments on the contract package will be addressed prior to finalizing the package. Regulatory Approvals: Application packages will be prepared for regulatory approvals identified throughout the design developments, including MECP Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA), and any Permit to Take Water. Application packages will be submitted to both the City and Region for cataloguing. Geotechnical Review: The Geotechnical design team will be asked to review and sign off on the final design package to ensure it follows the final pavement design recommendations.

Roadway Detail Design Bay Bridge Road/Dundas Street West/ Old Bay Bridge Road – City of Belleville - Mr. Taylor was the project manager for this Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Addendum. He continued as manager for the design, tender and CA assignments for the City of Belleville. He led a multidisciplinary team for the delivery of a $14 million urban renewal project including: replacement of the Bay Bridge Road CP Rail bridge, realignment and reconstruction of 150 m of Bay Bridge Road (4-lane arterial), realignment and reconstruction of 100 m of Old Bay Bridge Road (2-lane arterial) and reconstruction and widening of 1 km of Dundas Street West (widening to a 5-lane arterial). The designs were completed following the TAC - Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads. The EA and Preliminary Design included: detailed inventories (terrestrial, species at risk), fisheries, noise and vibration, geotechnical and hydro-geotechnical analysis of a former domestic dump site under the project, land use and property, assessment of planning alternatives, traffic modelling/forecasting, safety review, generation of preliminary design alternatives and preliminary and detail design of 2 contracts and environmental monitoring. The Design included: traffic staging, hydro utility relocations, advance surcharge contract to preload 2 m of subsurface domestic waste, liaison with CP Rail for rail clearances, Quinte Region CA for SWM, property request plan, permitting for recreational trail, Multi-use Path along Dundas Street, utility relocations, and mitigating the impact numerous businesses affected by widened right-of-way and loss of parking. This project is constructing a prominent southern entry to the downtown core of Belleville. The new Bay Bridge Road/ Dundas Street intersection will include: dual left turns, new signalization, street lighting, decorative lighting, removal of 2 residential properties on the north side of the intersection to construct a new park and entry to the downtown, irrigated landscaping on all 4 quadrants, and a multi-use trail leading to the intersection and crossing the new structure. The south sides of the intersection will include two lookouts and park areas for pedestrians including street furniture. Innovation: A value engineering and cost containment approach was used by the EA team. This approach led to the decision to avoid the conventional excavation of the underlying 2 m of domestic waste under the new Bay Bridge Road alignment, and instead utilize an advance surcharge contract to precede the subsequent bridge and road projects. The design approach eliminated excavation of 7000 m³ of landfill located below the groundwater table/water level of the Bay of Quinte. The advance surcharge contract of $700,000 resulted in project savings of over $1,000,000 (reduced cost by 60%) to the City of Belleville. Cost Control: The innovation was used to deal with a forecast budget overrun to allow for the addendum recommendation ($0.5 M additional cost) to purchase 2 houses (recommended by the EA for safety of the widened intersection to remove driveways from the influence of the major signalized intersection). The cost control has added significant value to the project and enabled meeting the project budget. Early Completion and Schedule Control: This project dealt with an accelerated schedule as it had to deal with the Council direction to add 1 km of roadway improvements to the project without deferring the completion date of the project. This was achieved by completing the additional project scope and delivering the ESR addendum in 8
58 Page 23 of 33
months with no bump-up requests. Schedule control was achieved by proactively meeting with MOE to define a work plan to add the additional 1 km road project and file an Addendum to the original ERS document with only a single PIC (rather than 2 PIC’s) for the Dundas Street project. It also included proactive one-on-one meetings with directly affected property owners losing parking and the 2 buyouts. These measures ensured schedule control for the tender of the advance surcharge contract. The addendum to the ESR included consultation with the residential and commercial properties along the 1 km section of Dundas Street West being widened to a 5–lane cross section. This fast tracked project was accelerated to be part of the $80 million “Build Belleville” project being delivered in 2014-2016.

McNeely Avenue EA - Town of Carleton Place - Mr. Taylor managed the EA, preliminary design and detailed design for the reconstruction of McNeely Avenue from Highway 7 to Coleman Avenue. This 4-lane arterial was reconstructed in phases, concurrent with intensive development occurring in the Town of Carleton Place and the extension of Highway 7 as a 4-lane divided freeway. This assignment was a highly successful example of a fast- tracked urban arterial road EA completed by BTE management staff. It was initiated in response to a major developer (Smart Centres/Wal-Mart) which had a deadline of September 2007 for the opening of the store and the completion of the associated roadway widening and signalized intersection. In order to achieve this goal, the County of Lanark required an update to the original EA, the preparation of tender documents and construction of the project by August 2007. The EA update was initiated in December 2006 and the ESR advertised for public review in March 2007. The recommendations were significant because of changes to the original cross section (including a raised median and eliminating left turn access to commercial properties or restricting them to signalized intersections). Only one Part II order was received; Mr. Taylor negotiated an amenable resolution to the concerns within 20 days resulting in no effect to the construction schedule. Cost Control: The construction cost estimate given to Council when presenting the EA recommendation (i.e. for the reconstruction of McNeely Avenue from Highway 7 to Coleman Avenue) was within 5% of the tendered cost. Our team developed a cost sharing agreement between the Town of Carleton Place, County of Lanark and developers. The draft agreement and cost estimate was accurate, within the contingency allowance and accepted by all parties. Scheduling and Early Completion: The reconstruction of McNeely Avenue from Highway 7 to Coleman Avenue EA met the aggressive schedule required by the County to meet the contractual obligations with Wal-Mart. It did so by aggressively initiating the detail design drawings in parallel with the ESR development. The project was tendered during the 30 day review period conditional upon environmental clearance and Council endorsement. Based on clearing the only bump-up request construction proceeded in June 2007 and met the opening deadline for September 2007. Date: 2007 Value of Fees: $500,000

Riverside Class EA Project File submitted for public review
On June 26, 2018, staff delivered Report 18-103(CD) along with the consultant’s presentation recommending “that Council authorizes staff to finalize the Riverside Dam Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Project File including authorization for staff to post the Notice of Completion for a 60-day review period”. The draft Class EA Project File included a preliminary preferred alternative to Rebuild Riverside Dam.
The Project File’s Environmental Study Report (ESR), recommending reconstruction of the dam, was filed for public review from July 27 to September 28, 2018. During this period, City staff and consultant representatives provided the public with clarification to questions and/or opportunity to identify concerns with the ESR and worked with stakeholders to resolve concerns during the public review period. Stakeholders were advised that unresolved concerns could be submitted as Part II Order (appeal) requests to the Minister.
On October 1, 2018, staff received notice from the Minister of Environment, Conservation & Parks (MECP) that they had received five appeal requests that did not support the ESR’s preferred alternative to rebuild the dam.
On May 31, 2019, staff received correspondence from Minister Rod Phillips (Appendix A) informing the City that an individual environmental assessment is not required for the proposed Riverside Dam replacement.
Analysis
Strategic Alignment
PEOPLE To actively engage, inform and create opportunities for people to participate in community building – making Cambridge a better place to live, work, play and learn for all.
Goal #2 - Governance and Leadership
Objective 2.4 Work collaboratively with other government agencies and partners to achieve common goals and ensure representation of community interests.
The selection of the preferred alternative to Rebuild Riverside Dam was determined in accordance with the Municipal Class EA process through the study’s public consultation process. The detailed design will involve further agency, stakeholder and community input to arrive at a final design for approval and construction.
136 Comments
The Minister’s decision to accept the recommendation to rebuild the dam, lets the City proceed with the project including a dam with “operable gates, as well as fish ladders or alternative fish passage methods as part of the final design of the dam, on condition that it is approved and permitted as part of the final design by all permitting agencies.”
Design Considerations
The ESR identified a number of critical components to be considered in the design of the dam. Hence, a variety of technical disciplines are required for the assembly of a design team to undertake work in the following areas:
• Geotechnical • GeoEnvironmental/Sediment Management Plan • Structural Engineering • Natural Environment (Environmental Site Assessments and Fish Ladders) • Cultural Heritage • Hydrology/Hydraulics • Public Consultation • Lakes & Rivers Improvement Act (LRIA) Permitting/Climate Change • Dam Safety Measures
Timing and Next Steps
Staff are now preparing a design Terms of Reference for the consultant selection Request for Proposal to be issued in October.
The design and approval process is expected to take two years including the preliminary design and consultation phase to be completed in 2020. The preliminary design will inform the completion of a detailed cost estimate for submission of a multi- year project in the 2021 Capital Budget. The actual project timing, expected to take two years, will be dictated by the in-river construction window regulated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
Design and Approval Conditions
The initial agency and stakeholder review will determine the design details and conditions required to ensure the following:
• that any in-river work is designed according to current standards, • the safe construction, operation and maintenance of any infrastructure, • protection against unnecessary flooding, • to facilitate the movement of fish, and • protection of Species at Risk.
137 The Class EA set out environmental mitigating measures, commitments and other provisions to improve ongoing natural environment impacts of the dam and headpond. As the project to replace Riverside Dam is deemed to be a new dam, the structure is required to meet current Provincial guidelines and permitting requirements. As a result, the LRIA approval will include conditions to fully mitigate the impacts of a new structure that are not currently associated with the existing dam including:
• operating gates and valves to reduce flooding potential and help pass sediment, • a fish ladder to facilitate fish passage, • health and safety apparatus for safe access and protection of operations staff, • fencing, signage and river barriers to prevent recreational use near the dam • an operations and maintenance plan to ensure the ongoing safe use and functioning of the dam.
Existing Policy/By-Law
The study of alternatives for the future of Riverside Dam, including the final public review of the ESR, was carried out in accordance with the Municipal Class EA process and the Environmental Assessment Act.
Staff are preparing a Terms of Reference, in accordance with the ESR, to select a consultant to design a replacement dam that will be subject to approvals and conditions by a variety of stakeholder and regulatory agencies including, but not limited to:
• LRIA Approval – Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry • Alterations to Waterways Permit – Grand River Conservation Authority • Permit to Take Water – Ministry of Environment, Conservation & Parks • Navigable Waters Permit – Transport Canada • Fish Passage – Federal Ministry of Fisheries & Oceans
Financial Impact
Existing capital accounts are in place to commence design work.
The Class EA estimated capital costs to Rebuild Riverside Dam in the order of $6.0M+/- including engineering, sediment and dam removals, dam, control structure and fish ladder construction and a 25% contingency allowance. The actual costs to tender, build, operate and maintain the dam will not be fully known until the preliminary design and agency/stakeholder process is completed in mid-2020.
138 Public Input
Community consultation, as required by the Municipal Class EA process, was completed throughout the study. The study was carried out as a Schedule ‘B’ Class EA, however significantly more consultation has been completed than is required using a Schedule ‘B’ process. Consultation efforts included four public information centres, four sets of technical and stakeholder advisory committee meetings, two stakeholder group workshops and a variety of individual outreach meetings with City Council, agencies and community groups.
The resulting EA Project File ESR includes details for the recommended reconstruction of the dam. The design process will include opportunities to solicit further community input on the proposed design.
Internal/External Consultation
Throughout the Class EA Study consultation with internal City committees, stakeholders and external agencies was completed, providing input on a wide range of technical, environmental (natural), social and economic considerations required for the reconstruction of Riverside Dam.
The detailed design and approval process will involve further stakeholder and regulatory agency input in the development of approval criteria and conditions to be satisfied by the final design and construction of a new dam.
Conclusion
The Riverside Dam Class EA ESR, recommending reconstruction of the dam, was filed for public review on July 27, 2018. On October 1, 2018, staff received notice from the MECP that they had received five appeal requests that did not support the ESR’s preferred alternative to Rebuild Riverside Dam.
On May 31, 2019, the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks informed the City that an individual EA is not required. Staff are now preparing a Terms of Reference for consultant selection to design a replacement dam consistent with the recommendations in the Minister’s decision. The design and approval process is expected to take approximately two years to complete with construction anticipated during 2021 and 2022.

Mr. Scott MacDonald Project Engineer City of Cambridge 50 Dickson Street Cambridge ON N1 R 5W8 [email protected]
Dear Mr. MacDonald:
Between September 16 and 28, 2018, I received five Part II Order requests asking that the City of Cambridge be required to prepare an individual environmental assessment for the proposed Riverside Dam replacement.
I am taking this opportunity to inform you that I have decided that an individual environmental assessment is not required. This decision was made after giving careful consideration to the issues raised in the requests, the project documentation, the provisions of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, and other relevant matters required to be considered under subsection 16(4) of the Environmental Assessment Act.
The reasons for my decision may be found in the attached table. In the interest of transparency, I encourage you to make this letter available to the greater public on the City's website.
I also understand that the City has committed to providing operable gates, as well as fish ladders or alternative fish passage methods as part of the design of the dam, on condition that it is approved and permitted as part of the final design by all permitting agencies. These commitments are integral to improving ongoing natural environment impacts of the dam and head pond. In addition, the City has made commitments to additional investigations for species at risk habitat, and consulting with Indigenous communities during detailed design. I would like to remind the City that commitments made during the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process are binding under the Act.
141 Mr. Scott MacDonald Page 2. ·
With this decision having been made, the City can now proceed with the project. The City must ensure the project is implemented in the manner it was developed and designed, as set out in the project documentation, and inclusive of all mitigating measures, commitments and environmental and other provisions therein.
Lastly, I would like to ensure that the City understands that failure to comply with the Act, the provisions of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, and failure to implement the project in the manner described in the planning documents, are contraventions of the Act and may result in prosecution under section 38 of the Act.
I am confident that the City recognizes the importance and value of the Act and will ensure that its requirements and those of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment are satisfied.

Subject: Addition of 0.5 FTE – Recruitment request for Administration
Submitted By: Dennis Purcell, Chief Building Official
Prepared By: Tanya Gies, Manager of Building
Report No.: 19-239(CD)
File No.: C11-02
Recommendation(s)
THAT staff report 19-239(CD) Addition of 0.5 FTE – Recruitment request to increase Administrative Support within the Building Division from part time to full time be approved.
Executive Summary
Purpose
• Request an additional 0.5 Full Time Employee (increase from part time to full time) to provide administrative support to the building division for the issuance of building permits.
Key Findings
An increase of 0.5 of an employee is required to the current administrative compliment of 0.25 of an employee to support the building division in processing an increasing number of building permits per year, managing building division’s records, and general building enquiries.
Costs for the additional administration compliment of 0.5 of an employee would be covered through building permit revenue.
There are no tax rate implications by adding additional administrative support to the division.
151 Financial Implications
• This will require budget for the additional salary and benefits for 0.5 of an employee at Job Grade 3 in the amount of $35 523.00. The funding will be covered through building permit revenue.
Background
According to the Building Code Act, the Chief Building Official is responsible to administer and enforce the Ontario Building Code on behalf of the municipality.
The building division collects fees when issuing building permits. All building permit fees must be used towards administration and enforcement of the Building Code and the Building Code Act.
The building division is experiencing challenges in supporting the issuance of building permits, namely filing of records, retrieval of records, answering enquiries and providing general administrative support to the building officials. The building division currently has administrative support equal to 0.25 of an employee.
Analysis
Strategic Alignment
PROSPERITY: To support and encourage the growth of a highly competitive local economy where there is opportunity for everyone to contribute and succeed.
Goal #2 - Governance and Leadership
Objective 2.5 Focus on the responsible management of financial resources, ensuring transparency and accountability.
By adding a 0.5 employee dedicated to administrative support, building officials will be able to concentrate on more technical matters. This means the building permit process is more efficient, leading to a more competitive local economy.
Comments
There is need to increase the level of administrative support for the building division due to a high volume of general enquiries, records management requirements and other general administrative duties.
Following the additional 0.5 employee, it would bring the building division administrative staff compliment to 0.75 employees.
152 The additional cost of providing this support would be fully funded through building permit fees. Building permit fees are collected with each building permit issued, and are to be used only towards administering and enforcing the Building Code.
The current fees collected are adequate to support the cost of the additional administrative support.
Existing Policy/By-Law
When increasing overall FTE complement even if fully recovered from user fees, Council approval is required.
Financial Impact
The building division operational budget will increase by $35 523.00 for salary and benefits of a 0.5 employee at Job Grade 3. This increase will be funded through building permit revenue, and will therefore have no impact to tax rates or water rates.
Public Input
Posted publicly as part of the report process.
Internal/External Consultation
Staff within the Finance and Human Resources divisions were consulted as part of this report.
Conclusion
The building division requires additional administrative support to administer and support the issuance of building permits. A proposed increase of 0.5 employees, which would be funded through building permit revenue, would provide the necessary resources to administer the issuance of building permits in a timely manner.
There are no impacts to the tax rates.

Meeting Date: 09/03/2019
Subject: Dynamic Symbol of Access
Submitted By: Michael Di Lullo, City Clerk
Prepared By: Robyn Hyland, Inclusion Coordinator Vanessa Lopak, Supervisor of Accessibility and Diversity Services
Report No.: 19-219(CRS)
File No.: C1102
Recommendation(s)
THAT Report 19-219(CRS), re: Dynamic Symbol of Access be received;
AND THAT Council adopts the Dynamic Symbol of Access as a standard sign of accessibility on City facilities where permitted.
Executive Summary
Purpose
• This report responds to the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee motion made on November 26, 2018
THAT the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee advises City Council to pass a resolution adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access where allowed, and when changing or adding the symbol of access in City buildings and facilities, use Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted.
Key Findings
• The Dynamic Symbol of Access is a new symbol to indicate accessible features and spaces in the built environment.
• Use of the current International Symbol of Access is legislated in specific spaces including signage to designate accessible parking spaces, accessible washrooms, accessible entrances, and more.
155 • The City can choose to use the International Symbol of Access where legislated, while adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access for all other indications of accessibility.
• The Accessibility Advisory Committee supports the adoption of the Dynamic Symbol of Access, and various internal staff teams have not identified any issues with the use of the new symbol where it is not otherwise legislated. Financial Implications
• Adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access has no financial implications; launching the use of the new symbol through an event will cost $500, to come from existing budget allocations.
Background
In the late 1960s, the need for a symbol to designate accessible facilities was discussed in a number of countries. In 1969, the World Congress formally adopted a modified design from a Danish graphic design student, Susanne Koefoed, which depicted a stick figure using a wheelchair to indicate barrier free access (Figure 1). The International Symbol of Access quickly gained wide acceptance and in 1974, the United Nations gave the symbol universal stature and it has since been used in cities and towns around the world.
Figure 1 International Symbol of Access Currently the Ontario Building Code and the Highway Traffic Act legislate only the use of the International Symbol of Access to denote items such as barrier free entrances, washrooms, elevators, telephones, parking areas and accessible vehicles and school buses.
In 2013, Brian Glenney and Sarah Henderson, looking to create a more up-to-date accessibility icon, developed the Dynamic Symbol of Access (Figure 2) and cofounded the Accessible Icon Project. They successfully lobbied Phoenix, Arizona and the States of New York and Connecticut to adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access. This symbol shows a forward leaning head and motioning arms indicating the figure as decision maker about their mobility.
156
Figure 2 Dynamic Symbol of Access
The Forward Movement
The Forward Movement is an advocacy and awareness initiative to have the Province of Ontario legally adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access as an alternative to the current International Symbol of Access.
The Forward Movement indicates that the Dynamic Symbol is a new image that shows movement; an action that emphasizes differing abilities and reframes the way society views and interacts with people with disabilities. They believe that the change in symbol also serves as a medium to have conversations about accessibility and disability rights in the province. The Forward Movement aims to make Ontario the first Canadian province to adopt the new symbol.
The Forward Movement approached the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee on November 26, 2018, requesting their support in advising City Council to adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted, to launch a communication on adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access and its alignment with the City’s commitment to inclusion, and to write a letter to the Minister of Seniors and Accessibility in support of the Forward Movement campaign. The Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee moved
THAT the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee advises City Council to pass a resolution adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access where allowed, and when changing or adding the symbol of access in City buildings and facilities, use Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted.
The Forward Movement has received endorsements from numerous organizations supporting people with disabilities and municipalities including Stratford, Guelph, Hamilton, Mississauga and Wellington. The Dynamic Symbol of Access is used locally at the KidsAbility Centre and Toyota Motors.
Legislative Requirements
The International Symbol of Access is required to be used by certain legislation in Ontario, therefore, there are limitations to where the Dynamic Symbol of Access can be used. For example, the International Symbol of Access is legislated under the Highway Traffic Act for signage in parking lots, in order to designate an accessible parking space. As such, the International Symbol must be used on the parking signage. However, there
157 are no legislative requirements around pavement markings on access spaces, which means, the City of Cambridge can choose which symbols of accessibility to use on the pavement.
The International Symbol of Access must remain;
• On signage for accessible parking spaces where vehicles require an accessible parking permit • On entrances equipped with automatic door openers • To indicate ramps located in a barrier-free path of travel serving the accessible entrance • To indicate exterior passenger loading zones • To indicate accessible washrooms • To indicate elevators • To indicate an accessible telephone • To indicate areas of rescue
The Dynamic Symbol of Access
The Dynamic Symbol of Access logo is free to use in the public domain. City staff and the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee are recommending the new symbol be adopted and used in locations not mandated by the Ontario Building Code, the Highway Traffic Act and any other relevant legislation.
Analysis
Strategic Alignment
PEOPLE To actively engage, inform and create opportunities for people to participate in community building – making Cambridge a better place to live, work, play and learn for all.
Goal #1 - Community Wellbeing
Objective 1.3 Deliver accessible, inclusive and age-friendly services, programs, and facilities.
This report advances the Community Wellbeing goal and objectives of the Cambridge Strategic Plan.
Comments
There are two options to consider.
Option 1 – Adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted.
158 By adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access, this symbol can be used in the following instances, where signage already exists to indicate accessibility features or space:
• parking pavement markers on accessible parking spaces • trail signage – including trail head signage and signage along the trail which indicates amenities for people with disabilities (except for washroom signage) • wayfinding within facilities • change rooms or dressing rooms that do not have washrooms • information, reception and service counters • accessible seating • to identify the location of an accessible picnic table • on City correspondence • social media
The new symbol will not be retroactive but will be installed on parking lots that require new paint or locations that need new signs.
Revisions will be made to the City of Cambridge Facility Accessibility Design Standards (FADS), giving direction to City staff as to where the Dynamic Symbol of Access can be used. The International Symbol of Access would continue to be used where the Ontario Building Code and Highway Traffic Act require it. Once approved, all new contracts for pavement markings can include the Dynamic Symbol of Access, and new signage can include the Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted.
To launch the adoption of the Dynamic Symbol of Access, the City of Cambridge would host an event to celebrate its use and to build public awareness on the new image in the Fall of 2019. The event could include a painting party, where the symbol is painted on an accessible parking space, inviting attendees from the City, the community and media representatives.
Option 2 – Keep the International Symbol of Access and make no changes
The City of Cambridge would continue to use the International Symbol of Access where required by legislation, and to indicate accessibility in other spaces.
Existing Policy/By-Law
By-Law No. 184-06 – Disabled Parking By-Law, outlines the designation, signage, and enforcement for City-owned accessible parking spaces. The signage requirements in this By-Law are consistent with the Highway Traffic Act. Any symbols denoting accessibility referenced in this By-law will remain in compliance with the Highway Traffic Act.
Financial Impact
159 Adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access would be on a go-forward basis and is not expected to have any financial impact.
The launch and awareness event would cost approximately $500, and would include purchasing a stencil, paint, and refreshments. This would be covered in the existing Inclusion budget.
Public Input
The public input is from the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee. On November 26, 2018, The Forward Movement was presented to the Cambridge Accessibility Advisory Committee for discussion. Members of the committee discussed the benefits and shortcomings of the symbol, noting that it is difficult to have a universal symbol that can take into account all disabilities, not just mobility disabilities. Committee members also noted that the symbol was more progressive than the current International Symbol of Access, despite it being an imperfect representation of disability. The Committee unanimously moved to advise City Council to adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted.
Internal/External Consultation
Accessibility and Diversity Services consulted with a number of internal divisions and teams to identify if there are any problems with adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access where permitted. We consulted with Transportation, Parks, Recreation and Culture, By- Law Enforcement, and Asset Management and PMO. There were no concerns with implementing the Dynamic Symbol of Access.
With respect to parking enforcement, all accessible parking spaces will continue to be signed using the International Symbol of Access, as legislated under the Highway Traffic Act, making no impact on parking enforcement efforts.
Accessibility and Diversity Services also consulted with other municipalities, including those who have adopted the symbol and those who have not. The City of Mississauga, the City of Guelph, and the City of Sarnia have all adopted the symbol and have not reported any issues with the use of the signage or with compliance. Other municipalities, including the City of Oshawa, have chosen not to adopt the Dynamic Symbol of Access in their cities.
Conclusion
Adopting the Dynamic Symbol of Access aligns with the corporate value of inclusiveness and the City’s commitment to inclusion. This new symbol can be installed on a go-forward basis to indicated accessibility features or space that is not otherwise legislated by the International Symbol of Access. To celebrate adopting the Dynamic
160 Symbol of Access, the City can host an event to paint the symbol on an accessible parking space, bring awareness of the symbol.

Subject: Enbridge Gas - new company, new opportunities to collaborate
Dear Mayor Mccarry and Members of Council,
In January of this year, Enbridge Gas Distribution and Union Gas combined to form one new company, Enbridge Gas. Separately, we have valued our longstanding relationships with municipalities in Ontario - having provided safe, reliable and affordable natural gas to residents, businesses institutions and governments for over 170 years. Together, we look foMard to building upon these relationships by supporting municipalities like the City of Cambridge with your climate and/or energy related initiatives in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Ontario.
I am reaching out to discuss how Enbridge Gas Inc. can help the City of Cambridge, its residents, businesses and institutions reduce carbon emissions and save money.
We recognize there is a transition occurring towards a lower carbon economy and that this has created opportunities for collaboration and true leadership in addressing climate change in ways that are innovative, economic and effective. Here are a few ways we can and already do work together:
. Climate and Energy Planning: Whether it is through the sharing of data and/or participation on local steering committees to share our expertise, we are involved and contributing to municipa climate and energy planning across the province, and are here to support you as well. . Renewable Natural Gas (RNG): RNG provides an opportunity to harness locally produced fuel from landfills, wastewater treatment plants or curbside organic programs that has a positive ampact on the environment and can provide economic benefits. lt is already happening in municipalities in Ontario. . Compressed Natunl Gas (CNG) for Transit Fleefs and Municipa, yet icres.' Since 1985, CNG has been proven to be a safe and reliable fuel option in Ontario. lt is widely used in vehicles today ranging from ice resurfacers to light, medium and heavy kuck fleets, garbage trucks and transit buses. CNG reduces greenhouse gas by up to 25% vs. diesel, along with lower NOx and VOCS and nearly zero particulates. The switch to CNG as a vehicle fuel can also save up to 50% on transportation fuel costs. We have a variety of programs to help you make the switch to CNG. . Energy Efficiency Programs: The conservation programs designed and delivered by Enbridge Gas have saved residential, commercial and industrial customers about 20 billion cubic meters of natural gas and reduced CO2 emissions by about 40 million tonnes, lowering energy costs at the same time. Whether it's a municipal building retrofit, a combined heat and power (CHP) prolect, or any other municipal building or works project, our team of energy advisors and technical experts are here to neto.
Our employees live and work in your community. We are committed community partners with a vested interest in the Clty of Cambridge's lower carbon future. We hope to meet with you and your staff in the
163 near future to discuss how we can work together to further our mutual and collective climate and energy objectives and support a lower-carbon future. Sincerely, Jad Murray Costello, P. Eng. Director, Southeast Region Operations Enbridge Gas Inc. Phone: 519-885-7 425 ext. 5067 425 Email:
