  2. Official Community Plan Adopted: April 6, 2009 4.0 Policies and Actions4.7 Providing Effective Services k) Underground Wiring: Improve aesthetics/views, enhances safety, and reduce power outages by moving to underground wiring over time The Village of Lions Bay Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project lionsbay.ca

  3. Project Background The Village of Lions Bay Since 2008 VOLB has been working with AECOM, our engineering firm, to develop the plans for: 1) the Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement Project 2) the Potential Underground Wiring Project. The water lines are about 50 yrs old. Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project lionsbay.ca

Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement The Village of Lions Bay Building Canada Fund Grant Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project $875,000 Federal/Provincial/Municipal Grant VOLB contribution is $291,666 Latest Completion Date by March 31, 2012 lionsbay.ca

  5. Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement The Village of Lions Bay Underground Wiring Project Assumption Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project 1) BC Hydro, Shaw and TELUS utilities would share a common trench and all be underground wired at the same time. 2) This will create an economy with in the project. lionsbay.ca

  17. Meter Base Location Options There are two options for the meter location. • Meter Base on the houseBC Hydro installs the cable (in customer installed and owned duct – 3” minimum) • Meter Base is located on private property near the street. Customer installs private cable to house from the meter base.

  18. Meter Base Location Options Meter Base located away from the house. BC Hydro cable MUST be in a 3” duct to the Meter Base. After the Meter Base the customer MUST use private cable. It can be in a duct or a special type of cable can be directly buried.

  19. Meter Base Trench in Rock Note the rock that needed to be worked with to dig the trench.

  24. Potential Underground Wiring The Village of Lions Bay Shaw Summary: The Municipality of The Village of Lions Bay with partnership with others utilities is undertaking a beautification project to remove all existing utilities aerial plant and replace it with the new underground plant. These include Lions Bay Avenue, Cloudview Place, Seaview Place including Park Marina. Our assumption is a common trench to supply and install Shaw’s new underground plant. Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project lionsbay.ca

  25. Summary of Shaw’s Total Contribution Towards Beautification Project The Village of Lions Bay This portion of work will be done utilizing a common underground trench shared by Hydro, Shaw & TELUS Mainline Public Infrastructure (off-site, along main Roads) Sharing underground common trenching cost:  Civil cont.cost of installing Shaw’s U/ground structures:$50 per meter, 1635m =$81,750  Shaw’s cost of supplying all underground materials: $25,000.00  Inspection and engineering cost: $2,500  Total Shaw contribution for public cost: $109,250 Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project lionsbay.ca

  26. Summary of Shaw’s Total Contribution Towards Beautification Project The Village of Lions Bay This portion of work will be done utilizing a common underground trench shared by Hydro, Shaw & TELUS Service Entrance to each Home (on-site, on subscribers property) Sharing underground common trenching cost:  Civil contractors cost of installing $11 per meter x 60m = $660 per lot x :60 = $39,600  Shaw’s cost of supplying all underground materials:= $170 x60 $10,200  Inspection and engineering cost: $ 1,500.00  Total Shaw contribution for private portion: $51,300* * For Shaw Customers Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project lionsbay.ca

  28. TELUS Project Comments The Village of Lions Bay Contractor Cost: 1) We expect savings when BC Hydro/TELUS/Shaw conduit is placed by the same contractor at the same time on the same tender. 2) Does not include the cost to punch a pipe under the railway since cost savings are possible when utilities are placed jointly. 3) When the public portion of the job is tendered, an optional separate cost can be requested from the contractor for the private property portion. Due to the efficiencies of scale in doing the 62 lots at the same time as the public portion, we expect the cost to be lower than each homeowner arranging for their own contractor.

  29. Potential Underground Wiring The Village of Lions Bay Projected Cost to Residents of Lower Lions Bay Based on Worst Case Scenario Lower Lions Bay Water Line Replacement: Potential Underground Wiring Project Potential cost reductions: 1) Consultants advise a sole contractor for both the public and private portion will lead to cost savings, 2) Grants and Grants-in-lieu will create cost reductions a) BC Hydro Beatification Grant up to 1/3 of BC Hydro Costs b) Shaw Public Grant of $109,000 Shaw Private Grant of $ 51,000 c) TELUS contribution-in-kind lionsbay.ca

  30.
