Attention: Mr. Tom Szalay
Dear Sir:
Re: Rural Area Water Systems Twinning – Phase 3 – Recommendation of Award
1.0 Purpose
To advise Council regarding the award of a recent tender titled “Town of Oliver Rural Area
Water System Twinning – Phase 3”
2.0 Recommendation
That the Rural Area Water System Twinning – Phase 3 Contract be awarded to Grizzly
Excavating per their tender of $988,449.00
3.0 Background
Phase 3 of the Twinning program is receiving assistance from the Union of British Columbia
Municipalities (UBCM) under the Federal Gas Tax Agreement’s General Strategic Priorities
Fund (GSPF) or Innovations Fund (IF). The application was made in April 2012 and was based
on the following project scope and capital cost estimate.
Rural Area Twinning – System 1 North Service Area $1,467,150
Contingency and Engineering allowance (27%) $396,130
Subtotal $1,864,000
Total Project $1,864,000
Approved Grant – 67% of above $1,243,000
In August 2013, once detailed design of the project had been completed, it was anticipated that
there may be a surplus of available budget in the approved Phase 3 project. The surplus
budget was the result of several factors, most notably being significant reductions in the paving
and gravel shouldering restoration quantities. These quantity reductions represent a savings of
approximately $300,000 based on Grizzly Excavating’s unit pricing for the Phase 3 contract.

ITEM F. - 1.

Town of Oliver - 2 - Our File: 306-817
Attn: Tom Szalay
Tenders for Phase 3 were opened at the Town office on Thursday, September 26th, 2013. Ten
tenders were received, which are summarized as follows:
Grizzly Excavating (Penticton, BC) $988,449.00
DM Webb Contracting (Enderby, BC) $1,078,546.35
Copcan Contracting (Rossland, BC) $1,117,935.00
Bree Contracting (Aldergrove, BC) $1,226,228.85
Timbro Contracting (Agassiz, BC) $1,392,276.64
Colmar Construction (West Kelowna, BC) $1,395,363.38
R355 Enterprises Ltd. (Kelowna, BC) $1,540,631.13
Dawson Construction (Kamloops, BC) $1,555,884.80
Minex Contractors (Kamloops, BC) $1,586,811.40
Jacob Bros. Construction (Surrey, BC) $1,901,550.00
The above tenders contain contingency and GST. All tenders have been checked and no major
errors were found.
Working backwards from the Total Approved Budget, remaining unallocated budget for Phase 3
of the Twinning project is presented as follows:
Total Approved Budget $1,864,000
(less) Contingency and Engineering allowance $396,130
Net Construction Budget Available $1,467,150
The Grizzly Excavating Phase 3 Contract price without GST and contingency is $911,380 which
represents approximately 60% of the construction budget available. This contract price also
falls within the funding amount of $1,243,000 that has been allocated to this project by the
Union of British Columbia Municipalities.
Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned should any questions or concerns arise.
Yours truly,
TRUE CONSULTING

4.4 SECURITY
4.4.1 Fence & Gates
All fences and gates will be maintained by Town Public Works. All gates on the
airport have combination locks with the same number which is distributed to
RCMP and the Oliver Fire Department. Tenant gate usage is the Tenant
responsibility as is the airport security from that gate. The main gate will be
opened by the first person arriving and closed at the end of day by the last person
leaving. If any doubt as to being the last person leaving, close and lock the gate.
4.4.2 User Responsibility
All Tenants, hangar owners and aircraft owners and operators are responsible for
the security of the airport and the safe, secure operation of the gates, pursuant to
Section 4.4.1.
4.5 IRRIGATION
The irrigation of the forage area is the responsibility of Town Public Works and the Forage
Contractor. The spray area and timing should be that no areas around or near aircraft
maneuvering or parking areas be accomplished during daytime hours if possible. Care should
be taken to avert any overspray from hitting parked aircraft, including consideration for wind. Any
repairs to the irrigation equipment in proximity to the runway, taxiway or ramp must be completed
immediately and not left overnight. Appropriate safety markers must be used and any holes filled
in prior to staff leaving the scene.
4.6 FORAGE CONTRACT
The forage under irrigation is under contract to the Forage Contractor and it is his responsibility
to maintain airport security while performing his contract. He will be required to have appropriate
flashing amber lights atop his equipment and to train his personnel in the proper operation on the
airport. Care will be taken while operating adjacent runway, taxiways and ramp areas, with
awareness of aircraft movements and give all aircraft the Right of Way. Access is by way of the
centre-south gate, and stacking will be in an area as determined in consult with the APM. All
airport users and tenants are to respect the operations of the contractor, and use their best
efforts to avoid any unnecessary interference with his operations and crop, so long as safety is
not compromised.

4.7 WILDLIFE
The airport has a quality fence around its perimeter which has prevented wildlife of a larger
nature from accessing the airport environment. Vigilance is still required by all to be aware of,
and report any infringement by larger animals.
Birds are a major concern at any airport and the Oliver Airport has an abundance of Canada
Geese. The forage program enhances the habitat for geese and pilots are to be aware of the
potential danger from bird strikes. There is an active plan in place for selected hunters, under
license; to assist is reducing the goose population.
4.8 AIR CADET GLIDING PROGRAM
The Air Cadet Gliding Program operates out of the Oliver Airport utilizing a tug airplane and two
gliders. The main base is located at the Cadet Bighorn 232 Squadron on the east side of the
field, and operations often utilize the South Okanagan Flying Club building. The ACGP are
required to have operating radios in each aircraft, to monitor the Unicom frequency and declare
their movements and intentions. Airport circuit procedures are to be used at all times with
vigilance when powered aircraft are in the maneuvering area. Gliders have the right-of-way and
all powered aircraft will observe that right-of-way, however the gliders are to ensure that their
positions are reported.
4.9 TENANT RESPONSIBILITIES
All tenants and hangar owners are responsible for the articles in their respective lease
agreements. Further, all airport users, tenants and hangar owners are responsible for the
upkeep and cleanliness of their hangar areas, especially weeds and overgrowth. No derelict
parts or pieces, junk or unsightly material/s are to be left in or around hangars, especially in
noticeable areas. The area between hangar rows that is out of site of the public may be used on
a temporary basis for storage until a more suitable location can be found. Any offending party
will be given written notice to correct unsightly premises within 30 days. No parking or storage of
A/C, vehicles, other than on designated parking, storage, or lease areas.
4.10 SKYDIVING OPERATIONS
There is a skydiving operation on the field that operates from spring to fall continuous. Pilots are
to be aware of these operations and the drop zone when active and yield to the skydivers. Radio

APPENDIX A – NOTAM
Introduction
NOTAM’s are issued in accordance with Transport Canada’s Canadian NOTAM Procedures
Manual (TP973E). This section is intended to provide an overview of the process described in
that manual.
NOTAM means a Notice to Airmen, containing information about changes to facilities, services,
procedures, hazards, etc., and of which timely knowledge is essential to personnel concerned
with flight operations. NOTAM distribution is through the Transport Canada data network to
provide current information to flight crews.
Transport Canada’s Flight Service Stations are the focal points for issuing NOTAM’s, using
standardized format and language.
General Criteria
In accordance with TP 973E, a NOTAM should be issued between 5 and 48 hours in advance of
the change requiring NOTAM issue. Where there is less than 5 hours advance notice, the Flight
Service Stations concerned will broadcast the NOTAM immediately on appropriate air/ground
radio frequencies.
A NOTAM is required for any change in the published information about the airport and/or its
operating capabilities, such as:
The establishment or withdrawal of electronic and other aids to air navigation and
aerodromes;
Changes in frequency, identification, orientation and location of electronic aids to air
navigation;
Interruptions in service or unreliability, and the return to normal operation of enroute and
terminal aids to air navigation;
The establishment, withdrawal or significant changes to designated airspace or traffic
procedure and services;
Significant changes in the serviceability of runways and associated approach or runway
lighting systems that could restrict aircraft operations;
The presence or removal of obstructions which are considered to be hazardous to aircraft
navigation. Hazardous obstructions are defined in TP 382E, Standards Obstruction
Markings, Chapter 2, General Criteria;
Military exercises or maneuvers and airspace reservations;

NOTAM, Procedures
The establishment, discontinuance or change in status of Alert, Danger, Restricted or
Military Flying Areas. (The broadcast of the discontinuance of an area would normally be
made for only 1 hour);
Communication failures where no satisfactory alternate frequency is available. (Note;
Emergency and Mandatory Frequencies (MF) where no back up or emergency
transceiver is available must be issued as a NOTAM);
Inaccuracies or omissions in publications that might endanger aircraft operations;
Failure of measuring and/or indicating systems needed to supply current information on
altimeter settings, surface wind, runway visual range and cloud height for the pilot about
to land/take0off. Where alternatives are available for obtaining readings, NOTAMs are
not required.
Information on private navaids will also be issued as a NOTAM upon advice for the
owner/operator of an unserviceability.
NOTAM, How to issue
When a NOTAM is required, or if there is any uncertainty about the need for a NOTAM, contact
the Kamloops Flight Center 1-888-992-7433
The Flight Service Station Specialist will require the following precise information;
The name of the Airport
The facility or service to be affected
The nature of the change and time change will occur
The time at which the change will return to normal (if the change is temporary)
Transport Canada’s Aeronautical Information Officer is also available to assist in issuing
NOTAMs;
