THE Vancouver Port Commission has authorised the extension of a management and a railway construction contract of the Schedule 1 Rail Project.
The commission's action authorised executive director Larry Paulson to sign a change order to a contract with David Evans & Associates to extend services to include construction services on Schedule 1 of the port's West Vancouver Freight Access Project. The change order increases the contract by C$492,020 (US$459,796), for a not-to-exceed total of C$2.03 million.
The firm selected to perform final design engineering for the project, David Evans & Associates, has completed the design documents. Services provided by David Evans & Associates include project management for design and constructability, project closeout, and sub-consultant services for surveying, staking and grade checking.
Design costs under the personal services contract awarded to David Evans & Associates through competitive solicitation were approved at C$1.5 million.
The anticipated construction costs for the Schedule 1 Rail project have been estimated to be between C$13 million and C$15 million.
