REPORT Presented to Council
TO: Gene Kiviaho
Reeve Hoppins
Members of Council
FROM: Rob Mayhew
• DATE: September 24, 2002
Date: September 24/02
SUBJECT: Water/Wastewater Study - Request for Proposal
1.0 Purpose
To choose a firm to undertake a Water/Wastewater Study for Kneehill County.
2.0 Background
Upon my arrival as Public Works Superintendent, $20,000 was budgeted for a
review of the Swalwell wastewater lagoon study. Throughout the summer other
problems have surfaced due to wind and drought. It was agreed to review at all of
the systems at the same time rather than individually.
On the PWS Report July 16, 2002, it was explained that the ICAP Entitlement
component was not for study but construction purposes. In July, I met with Kim
Edinga and was advised at that time that there were some funding dollars
available through the SIP for water/wastewater studies but a Request for Proposal
needed to be completed and an engineering firm chosen and then an application
made to AT& U and pending that approval there could be funding dollars given.
The Water/Wastewater Study was sent to two engineering firms and the proposals
were received by noon on September 19, 2002.
3.0 Discussion
The two proposals were examined for content and costing.
References were checked for satisfaction of performance.
4.0 Financial Implications
Fees including GST and Contingency are as follows:
AMEC Engineering fee $48,719.00
EXH Engineering fee. $35,349.60.
5.0 Recommendation
I recommend that we proceed with this study using the budgeted $20,000.00 and I
request permission to spend an additional $15,349.60. Application will be sent to
AT& U for the SIP funding and as explained that assistance may or may not be
available.
I recommend Kneehill County accept the proposal of EXH Engineering based on
the content, costing and reference information. Upon approval, the study would
be in immediately.

Members of Council
FROM: Rob Mayhew
DATE: September 24, 2002
SUBJECT: Horseshoe Canyon Recreation Area - Maintenance
1.0 Purpose -Horseshoe Canyon Recreation Area parking lot needs maintenance.
2.0 Background
May 7, 1999 An agreement was signed -Kneehill County and Minister of
Environmental Protection - called the Horseshoe Canyon Recreation Area
Interim Operating Agreement. #2. of the agreement states - The County
accepts sole responsibility for the fitness, maintenance, operation, preservation
and safety of equipment and land comprising the recreation area legally described
as: HORSESHOE CANYON PROVINCIAL RECREATION AREA.
The letter accompanying this agreement received June 4, 1999 stated:
"As previously discussed, it will be some time until the actual land transfer can be
completed. We will have to wait until Transportation finalize their plans for the
Highway upgrading and do a site survey. After that is completed, we will have to
do an amendment to the Horseshoe Canyon Recreation Area land title and then
transfer the amended title to the County. I will advise you whenever we get to that
stage." Signed Wayne Pedrini, Brooks Area Manager for Alberta Environmental
Protection, Natural Resources Service.
The land remains under the Ministry of Recreation and Parks.
In May of 1999 a partnership agreement was drawn up between the town of
Drumheller and Kneehill County for the operation of the site. Number 1. - the site
will be operated in the same manner as the previous year, that being the town of
Drumheller undertaking the maintenance of the site with these costs to be shared
on a 50/50 basis between the town and the County.
In May of 1999 There was a motion that the parking lot be properly graded and
graveled with the cost being shared equally between Drumheller and Kneehill
County. The town of Drumheller was in charge of this matter.
0 3.0 Discussion
An appointment has been set up with representatives from the town of Drumheller
and Kneehill County to meet at the Horseshoe Canyon Recreation Area on
September 26, 2002 to review the condition and discuss further, the maintenance
of this area.
4.0 Financial Implications
As per the original agreement 50/50 cost sharing with the town of Drumheller.
5.0 Recommendation
I recommend that the conditions of the facilities and parking lot be discussed with
the town of Drumheller at next weeks meeting to determine further action.
® I recommend to contact Mr. Pedrini, Brooks Area Manager for Alberta
Environmental Protection, Natural Resources Service, as to any new
developments on the transfer of the title to Kneehill County.
