SBA2021 04 Elevated Water Storage Tower Project COMPLETE REPORT

Meeting Date: Monday, September 27, 2021
To: Mayor Mills and Members of Council
From: Stephen Burnett, Municipal Engineer

and Carey Holmes, Director of Financial
Services/Treasurer
Report: SBA 2021-04
Subject: Elevated Water Storage Tower Project
Recommendation
Be it Resolved that Council of the Town of Shelburne;
1. Receives the report SBA 2021-04 Elevated Water Storage Tower

Project dated September 27, 2021; and that,
2. Council approves the award of the RFP for the construction of a new
elevated water storage tower to Landmark Structures Co. for the base
contract value of $5,983,050 plus applicable taxes; and that,
3. Council approves the debt financing plan to borrow $5 Million from
Infrastructure Ontario for a term of 20 years.
Background
On July 26, 2012, the Town began a MEA, Schedule B Class Environmental
Assessment (EA) to determine the need for increased water storage within the
Town of Shelburne.
Work on this EA continued through 2012 and the Notice of Study completion
was issued in February 2013 indicating that an additional water storage
reservoir was required to meet the Town’s existing and future water storage
demands.
Report SBA Municipal Engineer SBA 2021-04

Page 1 of 9
The shelf life of an environmental assessment is 10 years which would mean
that the current storage EA would expire in late 2022/early 2023.
The urgency of this project became more apparent over the past couple years
with water storage levels in the existing tower being depleted during the warm
summer months requiring the need to issue water use bans for the past
several summers.
In 2020, the tower water levels were low enough during August 2020 that
minimum water levels for fire protection became a concern. OCWA required
special permission from MECP to run Wells 7 & 8 concurrently to bring the
water levels back to safe levels.
Based on these factors, a priority was placed on the water storage tower
project. Council approved the design to commence in late 2020 with the goal
of completing design in mid 2021. The construction of an elevated water
storage tower is approximately a 12 month (1 year) project. It is estimated
the project will be completed by mid to late 2022 and just prior to the EA
expiration.
Analysis
The original budget for this capital project was $3.5 Million.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) process which was undertaken in summer
2021 and is summarized in Appendix 1.
The RFP for a new 3,400 cu.m water storage facility was issued and posted on
Merx and Biddingo on June 18, 2021 and closed on July 15, 2021.
23 contractors, subcontractors and suppliers downloaded the documents.

However, only one proposal was received by the due date. The number of
firms responding was expected to be limited given water tower construction
is a specialized construction. While numerous subcontractors are required,
there are very limited general contractors that are experienced in this line of
work with many of these firms choosing to only complete projects in the USA,
especially during the pandemic.
What has Changed
The one bid received for $6,754,000 plus applicable taxes was significantly
over the $3.5 Million allocated for the construction budget of this project. A
few factors have led to the significant increase in project costs.

Page 2 of 9
Scope Enhancement Items
One factor effecting the price was that during the design phase it was
determined that the scope of the site works and watermain connections for
the proposed project required additional and expanded work. The water
system modeling completed as part of the design phase revealed that two
watermain extensions were required to connect the new water tower to the
existing water infrastructure and to create a loop watermain connecting to
both Luxton Way and Franklyn St./Simon St. to ensure sufficient pressures
within the system. Normally a water tower can be connected to just one local
watermain connection.
Also, during the design phase, it was concluded with Town staff that the
preferred location for the water tower was at the rear of the purchased site.
This was strategic with regards to the future use of the public works site as it
provides room for expansion on the site for future cold storage, auxiliary
buildings, etc. However, this did direction did increase the access road and
watermain connection costs to the Luxton Way access location.
Lastly, during the design phase it was determined that the inclusion of a
chemical chlorination system, standby generator and water truck fill were
items that should be included in the new facility. These have been identified
as significant shortcomings of the existing water storage facility, especially
during emergencies.
Based on the pricing received, the total site works and watermain component,
where most of these enhancements to the project are included, resulted in an
increase cost of approximately $900,000 in site works and watermain
extensions.
The watermain looping and site works enhancements were not included in the
original water storage tower budget of $3.5 Million. Had they been known and
then included at the time the project budget would have instead been in the
$4.3 to $4.4 Million range.
COVID Effects to Project Costs
The most significant effect on pricing is that COVID has significantly affected
several supply chains. Steel makes up a large portion of this facility. The price
of steel has risen close to 300% from Spring 2020 to Summer of 2021.
The COVID supply chain effect was also seen earlier this year with wood prices
increasing 400% from winter to mid summer. COVID has also caused
significant increases in electrical and mechanical components due to supply
shortages and delivery delays. These have all had a significant effect on the
bid pricing.

RFP Bid Costing
Given the significant project cost overages, SBA recommended negotiating

with the bidder to see if any savings could be realized without compromising
the intent of the design and water storage facility.
These negotiations were completed by SBA and all proposed value engineering
items were reviewed with senior Town staff as well as OCWA. On August 30,
2021, Landmark Structures Co. provided updated proposal costs. Landmark
reduced the base price to $5,983,050 excluding taxes and contingency. While
this revised value is still approximately $2.5M over the original budget and
approximately $1.6M over the anticipated project with the enhanced site
works scope, it does appear to be inline with the current COVID pricing.
Prior to negotiations, the proposal received was for $6,754,000 excluding

taxes and non-construction costs. This was approximately $3.254M more then
the allocated budget and approximately $2.35M more then the pricing taking
into consideration the additional required site works and enhancements.
A review of a recent tender which closed in June 2021 for the Township of
Mapleton showed a similar increase in pricing due to COVID and steel
increases. The water tower in Mapleton which was approximately 30% smaller
than the tower proposed for Shelburne. In that case the project cost was
approximately $6.5 Million when the estimated budget was $4 Million and this
project had little to no site work related costs.
Awarding the Project to Landmark Structures Co.
The bid received from Landmark Structures Co. was reviewed for any
mathematical errors and no errors were found. The contractor also provided
the required Bid Bond and Agreement to Bond amounts required in the RFP
process.
SBA has worked with Landmark Structures Co. on several water tower projects
and can confirm both their professionalism and quality of work on previous
projects. Landmark was also the contractor hired to complete the
refurbishment of the existing water tower in Shelburne.
Based on information reviewed and acknowledging the priority of this project,

it is recommended that the project be awarded to Landmark Structures Co.
for a base price of $5,983,050.00 plus applicable taxes.

The following is a summary of the anticipated construction and non-
construction costs associated with this RFP.
Water Tower Base Construction Costs $ 5,983,050.00
Construction Contingency (10%) $ 598,305.00
Engineering (CA & Inspection – 8%) $ 478,644.00
Total Estimated Project Costs $ 7,059,999.00
Non-refundable HST (1.76%) $ 124,255.98
Total Project Funding Required $ 7,184,254.98
Financial Impact
Following the EA Notice of Study completion that was issued in February 2013,
footnotes in the Water Capital Budget have identified annually since 2014 the
need for Future Water Storage. The water storage land purchase took place
in 2018 and is located on Luxton Way adjacent to the Public Works Yard. The
source of financing for the water storage construction has always been
identified as long term borrowing.
In the 2021 adopted Water Capital budget, the Water Storage Project was
identified at a cost of $3,461,600 with the project being partially funded by
Development Charges and Reserves leaving the amount of 2.5 million to be
funded by long term debt.
At the July 12, 2021 council meeting, staff report FS 2021-09 outlined that
borrowing from Infrastructure Ontario would be the recommended source of
financing for the long term debt portion. Although the RFP for the water tower
had not closed yet, the following is an excerpt from the motion that was
passed allowing staff to proceed with making application once figures were
known:
“And That Council directs staff to proceed with the Long-Term Borrowing Loan
Application(s) and associated By-Laws with Infrastructure Ontario (IO), to
assist with funding the new Water Storage Tower and the upgrades to Well
3.”
In consideration of the significant increase in the cost of the project, staff have
not yet applied for any funding and this was delayed until the report and
recommendation from the Town’s Engineer was presented to Council.

Page 5 of 9
Below is a summary of budget versus actual with respect to RFP results:
2021 Budget 2021 Actual
Projected Cost / Actual Cost $3,461,600 $7,184,255
Less: Development Charges $ 400,000 $1,169,746
Less: Transfer from Reserves $ 561,600 $1,014,509
Total to be Borrowed $2,500,000 $5,000,000
Term of Loan 20 Years 20 Years
Annual Payment $152,423 $320,579
In addition to the rising costs outlined from the RFP process, one other notable
difference is that the non-construction (engineering) costs to facilitate the
project have now been added to the total cost of the capital project. In the
2021 budget it was estimated that this cost would be passed on through the
water rates operating budget. Due to the now increased interest charges that
are associated with the long-term loan and funded through water rates, staff
have instead included the engineering fees in the capital cost of the project.
The total interest paid for the term of the loan will total approximately
$1,411,579.87 or on average $70,579 a year. Infrastructure Ontario now
offers monthly payment plans that has helped to reduce the amount of interest
costs incurred.
The reserve estimates presented in the fall of 2020 during budget

presentations projected that the water reserve would end the year 2021 with
$1,723,213.64. This amount has since changed to be an estimated
$1,914,448.18 with a larger than anticipated surplus in 2020. Taking the
additional $452,909 from the water reserve, needed to bring down the amount
of borrowing required, will still leave this reserve with approximately
$1,461,539 at year end. Staff feel this is sufficient given that separate water
reserves have been established for vehicle replacement and water main
breaks. This also still leaves the total reserve balance higher than the total
amount of debt once this loan is added to existing loans.

Page 6 of 9
The last Water and Wastewater Rate Review was conducted in 2017 and rates
were updated in 2019 due to accelerated growth and increased costs of
forecasted capital projects. At that time the water storage project was
identified as costing $3.3 million. Reserves are funded through the Rates and
during the next Rate Study Review to be conducted in 2022, additional costs
of the water tower project will be captured in order to cover the increase in
interest debt payments until the end of the 20 year-term.
The 2020 Development Charge (DC) study identified the project cost to be
$3.5 million (same as the budget) and identified that amounts collected would
be utilized to offset principal debt payments. By taking $1,169,746 initially
from the DC water service, in order to decrease the amount of borrowing
required, will mean that during the next DC review the additional costs of the
project will be captured in order to cover the principal debt payments until the
end of the 20-year term.
The lending rates published on the IO site for September 20, 2021 for a 20
year term stated 2.59% which is down slightly from the 2.63% reported in
staff report FS 2021-09 from July.
Section 4.3 of the Debt Management Policy, attached as Appendix 2 speaks to

the term of loans. For water or wastewater infrastructure the term should be
between 15-20 years and not to exceed the expected useful life of the related
asset. The useful life of the water tower would be approximately 25 years.
Section 4.7 of the Debt Management Policy states that the maximum
permitted amount of long-term borrowing shall not be more than 40% of the
amount determined under the Province’s Annual Debt Repayment Limit (ARL).
The borrowing of $5,000,000 for 20 years at a rate of 2.59% added to the
town’s existing debt would put that amount at approximately 30.5%. Two
loans will be paid out in 2026 freeing up almost 11% of borrowing room.
This still leaves sufficient room for borrowing for the Well 3 arsenic project for
which the RFP is closing September 30, 2021 and staff have applied for
funding for this project under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program
(ICIP) Green Stream for up to 4 million.
It continues to be recommended that the Town proceeds with the loan

application through Infrastructure Ontario, as approved by motion at the July
12th, 2021 meeting, for a term period of 20 years. Rates will not be locked

Page 7 of 9
in until the date of debenture, therefore all amounts quoted above are subject
to change slightly depending on rate fluctuations.
This report has further recommended that a combination of sufficient capital

reserves and borrowing be used to fund the construction and non-construction
costs for the elevated water storage facility construction.

Bid Summary
SBA File No: M20009
As discussed with staff prior to the RFP close, it became apparent that prices would most likely come in
greater than the allocated budget for this project. There has been a significant increase in material and
supply pricing including steel prices which are up over 300% in 2021 verses 2020 pricing. Similar issues
were experience with wood prices over 2021 reaching a high of 400% over 2020 pricing. Just prior to the
RFP close, similar results had been seen in other municipalities including Mapleton which closed
approximately one (1) month before this RFP at a bid price of approximately $6.5M and being
approximately $2.5M over the anticipated budget for a storage facility that is approximately 70% the size
of the Shelburne facility.
Given the significant overage, it was recommended by SBA that negotiations be opened up with the low
RFP bidder to determine whether there were any savings that could be realized and still make this
essential project viable. Several discussions and meetings were held with the low RFP bidder as well as
with senior Town staff and OCWA to review any potential savings and negotiations.
Ultimately following this process, Landmark Structures Co. provided an updated Proposal cost on
August 30, 2021, which lowered the base bid for the project by $692,000.00. It was agreed to move the
dewatering allowance of $95,800.00 from the base bid to the contingency allowance so that it would only
be allocated if necessary.
The revised summary of costs are as follows in Table 2.

Bid Summary
SBA File No: M20009
The revised bid amount was based on negotiated items that did not compromise any of the original design
items, nor compromise on safety, security or storage volume and has been reviewed by senior staff and
OCWA for acceptance of credit items. Based on this, SBA would recommend that if sufficient funds can
be allocated to this project to cover the increased cost, that it be recommended that the Water Storage
Tower RFP be awarded to Landmark Structure Co. for a base price of $5,983,050.00 excluding tax and
contingencies.

Company Profile
History
Landmark is an engineering and contracting company founded in 1974 and is the originator of the
Composite Elevated Tank (CET). This innovation was a paradigm shift from the way elevated
towers had traditionally been constructed, incorporating the use of a concrete pedestal to
significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs. Landmark’s expertise in this type of construction
led to the company passing the industry’s established giants to become the market leader in high-
capacity elevated storage construction throughout North America.
The Landmark philosophy is simple: Setting and advocating the highest standards delivered on
several fronts:
• Comprehensive attention to detail.
• Dedication to collaborative project execution.
• Providing the best ownership cost.
Capability to Perform Project Requirements:

Landmark is one of the largest and most experienced designers, constructors, and maintainers of
steel storage tanks and are responsible for the majority of CET installations in North America. Our
elevated tank experience includes projects over 3.5 million gallons and heights exceeding 250 feet.
Landmark brings over 40 years of leadership to this project.
Landmark is a full-service contractor and self performs most of our work. Highly skilled multi
discipline crews employ specialized construction processes, including a highly evolved system of
concrete placement, precise assembly of steel plate and detailed coatings application.
Design / Build
As a design-build company, Landmark has a broader perspective on the engineering function, and
takes ownership of its work right through to project completion. Our design, engineering and
detailing staff are experts on the technical challenges that lie beneath the outwardly simple lines
and shapes of tanks. We employ the most advanced tools and our expertise extends to related civil
and mechanical systems.
Each project presents its own technical challenges. Landmark’s design and engineering groups
apply specific knowledge and resources to a wide range of issues, including:
• Finite Element models to assess dynamic forces in high seismic areas
• Non-linear buckling analyses to determine the optimum tank configurations
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to design tank mixing systems
• In depth soil-structure interaction analysis to design the most efficient foundation solutions

Project Management
In addition to the precision of our work, and the value of our best cost solutions, performance is a
key Landmark attribute.
It relates to how we perform for you, and to our dedication to collaborative project management,
thorough execution, and the resolve to do things right. Beyond how we build, we recognize that how
we work with clients and partners can determine the quality of a project, and the resulting referrals
and repeat engagements that create long term mutual success.
This philosophy accounts for our design-build orientation, in which we assume responsibility and
manage all the concurrent functions to completion. Our approach to business is consistent,
regardless of where it is in our extensive portfolio of capabilities.
Fabrication:
Landmark’s high capacity steel tank and component operations incorporate the finest equipment,
materials and talent. Our extensive use of mill-primed steel plate eliminates mill scale and
preserves the blast profile. Plus, the ability to roll wide plate to precise tolerances reduces welding
requirements, simplifying production and enhancing results.
Landmark has two state-of-the-art steel fabrication facilities strategically located to serve North
America with highway and rail access, multiple staging locations and storage options on site.
Locations in Burlington, Ontario and Decatur, Texas provide launch points for turnkey custom
component fabrication, all with the latest technology.
Landmark has a broad range of fabrication capabilities to meet the most demanding configurations
and requirements. We set a higher standard for quality and productivity.
Site Development
Site selection, analysis and preparation are core competencies for Landmark, refined in civil work
and hundreds of design-build projects over the past 40 years. Our knowledge of soil types, drainage
and compaction requirements, and close work with geotechnical specialists enables us to provide
valuable insights as well as execution on your project.
Foundation Engineering and Construction

Landmark places a significant emphasis on foundation design and engineering, as it provides an
opportunity to precisely match a solution to site conditions, while also achieving a balance between
functionality and cost. The most efficient recommendation, whether a concrete mat, piers, or other
configuration, can provide good value for a project. Landmark has designed and built all types of
foundations for composite elevated tanks as well as other projects.
Concrete Structures
Our skill in achieving architectural concrete is testimony to Landmark’s commitment to building
concrete structures that combine aesthetic as well as functional excellence. Architectural concrete

SBA File No: M20009
is comparable to pre-cast concrete in its precision and consistency, and since it is permanently
exposed to view, the Portland Cement Association cites the special care required in the selection of
concrete ingredients, forming, placing, consolidating and finishing to obtain the desired
appearance. This is the standard that Landmark sets for its work.
With more than 10,000 wall placements and one million cubic yards of concrete placed, Landmark’s
concrete specialists are experts in managing mix designs, the critical impact of environmental
conditions on the placement process, rigorous quality control procedures, and the all-important
involvement of their supplier partners. The result is a superior track record in an area that has
become a true specialty.
Steel Erection
Landmark carries the quality and refinements achieved in fabrication right through to steel erection
on the project site, where we consistently implement process improvements for faster, safer and
more accurate construction. Recent examples include the cable suspension of steel plate for
welding and finishing, which eliminates the need for cumbersome jigs, reducing cycle time and
increasing quality. Quality Control / Quality Assurance programs ensure exceptional weld quality in
preparation requirements for coatings phase.
Specialty Coatings
Landmark has developed complete surface preparation and coatings services for all the structures
that we design, build and repair. This commitment and Landmark’s high standards of process and
product quality have been recognized by the Society for Protective Coatings with their QP-1
Certification. It evaluates candidate firms in four key areas:
• Management procedures
• Technical capabilities
• Quality control
• Safety procedures and record keeping
This places Landmark in a relatively small group of companies in the world to earn the QP-1
certification. It means that you can depend on the Landmark coatings team and its fully equipped
mobile crews for preparation and coating of virtually all types of steel structures, with a wide range
of materials.

SBA File No: M20009
Mechanical Systems
Landmark’s expertise in structures and storage extends to the piping and control systems that serve
them. This ranges from the design and fabrication of stainless steel piping for water storage tanks
and related tank mixing systems to their control valves, pump stations and monitoring equipment,
and cathodic protection. It also includes the piping and controls associated with larger tank farms
and systems, making Landmark an integrated resource for a wide range of projects.
Environment, Health & Safety

Landmark’s commitment to safe workplaces and jobsites is enabled by a robust Environmental,
Health & Safety (EHS) management system. It is designed to prevent harm to people, property and
the environment, and is enthusiastically embraced by company principals, line management,
employees and contractors. All are empowered and responsible for its success, based on three
guiding principles:
• Clearly communicated expectations result in desired outcomes
• Goals and objectives align with defined standards and procedures
• Continuous improvement
• All incidents can be prevented by eliminating their causes
While Landmark’s EHS policies are addressed in detail and integrated throughout work practices
and procedures, they are managed with four key tools:
• Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA)
• Site EHS Evaluation
• Root Cause Analysis
• Comprehensive EHS Training
The goal of Landmark’s EHS management system is simple: Incident-free projects and workplaces
that maintain the integrity of the environment, utilize attention and care to eliminate cost and delay,
and above all, protect the quality of life and futures for those at work.
Safety is our primary commitment - always.
We are very proud to announce that Landmark is COR Certified! – effective January 2021.

Landmark self-performs the majority of its work and employs
specific processes to achieve a high standard of execution on
every job. This begins with a collaborative approach to
project management and extends to the details of delivering
architectural quality concrete pedestals and QP-1 certified
specialty coatings application. Following is a condensed
outline of the phases.
Landmark 1.0 MG composite tank
Please note that the following process

outline is representative of most projects,
regardless of size and capacity. However,
it does not necessary reflect the site and
specifications of this proposal. ....................................................................
1
Major Elements of the Landmark
Composite Elevated Tank
Geotechnical investigation
Once a suitable site with the necessary clearances and access
has been determined, the project owner or engineer orders
a geotechnical investigation from a qualified geotechnical
engineer familiar with local soil conditions. The resulting
report will suggest the most appropriate foundation type and
design, based on factors specific to composite elevated tanks,
including pedestal height and diameter, structure and water
weight, plus wind and seismic loads. Landmark typically
recommends and provides the foundation design as part of
its role, with seismic expertise resident within its internal
engineering group. With hundreds of projects completed
in locations across the country, and close collaboration with
all types of geotechnical engineering firms, Landmark
applies significant specialized experience to this first stage
in the process.
2
Foundation
Following engineering, submittals and mobilization, site
preparation and excavation for the foundation begins.
Based on the recommendation, this could involve a mat-type
or pile-type foundation, the latter either driven steel or poured
concrete as depicted. While site prep and excavation are
often subcontracted to local crews with the required
equipment, Landmark provides the first of its specialized
Foundation layout crews for actual foundation construction, including layout,
piping, forms and reinforcement, as well as coordination
with the local concrete provider.

Pedestal
The pedestal is the most unique element of the composite
elevated tank, and the subject of most of its refinements.
It not only takes full advantage of concrete’s load carrying
efficiency in compression for the tank and its contents, but
also provides dry, protected interior space for equipment and
storage, as well as an attractive maintenance-free exterior
surface. The pedestal is constructed in levels or “lifts”
Seven-foot form system
approximately seven feet in height, with the number
determined by pedestal specifications.
Landmark’s standard for all projects is architectural concrete,

defined by the American Concrete Institute as having “uniform
color, an absence of defects, and aligned and even surfaces.”
It requires the use of a robust form system in a process that
can be summarized as the rapid vertical placement of one
truckload of concrete in to each section of vertically segmented
wall forms. By placing each segment in its entirety, the vertical
pour rate is accelerated, eliminating the potential for unsightly
pour lines and color variations. In this manner, Landmark
provides the added benefit of an architectural standard
One truckload per form segment
beyond the well-established structural standard for each
project, by virtue of its pedestal construction process.
For each lift, vertical bulkheads are placed inside the wall
forms at approx. 25-foot intervals, based on the number of
truckloads of concrete required. The bulkheads’ three-piece
design allows continuous reinforcement to pass through,
around the entire wall. When concrete is poured into two
adjacent segments, the vertical bulkhead between them is
removed, and the concrete is vibrated for consistent surface
quality. This process continues on a daily form strip, form
set, and concrete placement cycle, until the pedestal wall is
finished. Forms are then positioned for the pouring of the
Vertical bulkheads define each segment
concrete dome, which completes the pedestal and provides
a strong structural base for the tank.
Segmented pour process 4 Process continues for each lift

Tank erect/pre-hoist
In another departure from competitors’ processes, Landmark
erects the steel tank at grade before raising it into position,
rather than building it in position above the pedestal. This
procedure is safer, and enables better control of tolerances
and quality. One of two methods may be used for tank
construction, depending on size—a jig positioned at the
base of the pedestal, or a cable and hoisting system for the
mill-primed steel panels, which are then welded in place.
Once the lower cone, shell, and upper knuckle (if applicable)
are completed, the steel tank is ready for surface prep,
priming, and coating.
5
Coatings/pre-hoist
The coatings phase also occurs on the ground, managed
according to the requirements of the Society for Protective
Coatings’ (SSIP) QP-1 standard. Landmark is only one of
about 230 companies worldwide to earn this certification,
which recognizes management procedures, technical
capabilities, quality control, safety procedures and record
keeping. In addition to the ability to apply a wide variety of
coating types, Landmark can also execute custom logos and
graphics that utilize the composite tank’s large unobstructed
surface areas. Completing the coating phase on the ground
also helps control waste and maintains air quality, typically
eliminating the need for containment. During this phase,
the tank/roof access tube is also positioned, prior to the
tank hoist.
6
Hoist
Upon completion of exterior coatings, the tank is hoisted with
a system of hydraulic jacks and cables, usually a 3-5 hour
operation once preparations are completed.
7
Tank erect & coatings/post-hoist
Once in place above the pedestal, the tank is permanently
secured by pouring a reinforced concrete ring beam. Next,
steel floor plate is grouted and welded in place, serving both
as a tank floor and moisture barrier over the concrete dome.
The roof panels are then hoisted into position and welded in
place, prior to the application of interior tank coatings, and
then application of exterior roof coatings. The flat structural
roof provides easy access to roof-mounted appurtenances,
which are installed at this stage as well.

8
Electrical/mechanical/site work
As the tank nears completion, electrical work proceeds—typ-
ically utilizing a local subcontractor—which includes controls,
lighting, cellular antenna systems if specified, etc. This stage
may also involve installation and completion of water pumping
and treatment systems, valves and controls, typically handled
by Landmark depending on specifications…as well as the
completion of any interior finish-out in the pedestal base and/
or on structural floors that may have been specified. Exterior
Example of pedestal base finish-out
site work includes decorative or security fencing, irrigation
systems, and final landscaping as required.
Commission
At the final commissioning stage, Landmark technicians test
all systems, disinfect the tank and address all checklist items
before turning the tank over to the owner or operating entity.

SBA File No: M20009
Support Wall
Support Wall – Form System and Dimensional Control
Implement the following controls prior to and during support wall forming operations:
• Wall Thickness - Prior to concrete placement of the first lift, confirm wall thickness is in
accordance with IFC drawings and specification tolerance.
• Radial Position of Forms – Confirm radial dimensions at the exterior form face are in
accordance with IFC drawings and specification tolerance. Record prior to concrete placement.
• Vertical Position of Forms – Confirm elevation at the top edge of the form are in accordance
with IFC drawings and specification tolerance.
• Wall Plumbness – Check vertical plumb using a transit set up a distance from the pedestal at
two points 90 degrees apart.
• Placement of Reinforcement, Embedments and Blockouts – Provide 2 independent checks of
reinforcement placement, embeds, and blockouts.
• Temporary bulkheads – Provide temporary steel plates and angles are at strategic points in the
wall to allow for individual batch consistency throughout wall height.
• As-Built Radial Dimensions – Following form removal, record as-built radial dimensions.
• Radial Dimension Adjustment - Radial dimension adjustment, in any individual lift, shall not
exceed 6 mm from the previous lift, at any given location, without authorization from Landmark
management.
• Out-of-Tolerance - Any deviation from the theoretical radius exceeding 12 mm in any one lift is
reported immediately and no further concrete placements shall proceed until authorized by
Landmark Operations Management.
Support Wall – Concrete Wall Placement

Implement the following controls prior to and during support wall concrete placement operations:
• Batch Plant Capability - Calculate total yards required, size of each batch/load, and visit the
plant during batching to confirm supplier capabilities regarding batch to batch consistency.
• Batch Tickets – Verify batch tickets for correct mix design identification and batch weights (if
available) prior to placing concrete.
• Total Water Content per Yard – Prior to placing the concrete, total water per volume of each
load is calculated using batch weights and/or ‘hold-out water’ indicated on the delivery ticket.
This maintains consistency between batches. Contact Landmark Operations Management if
variance is out of tolerance.

SBA File No: M20009
• Observation and Performance of Concrete Testing – Perform tests for slump, concrete and air
temperature, air-entrained content, and unit weight by qualified personnel per CSA A 23.2.19. In
case discrepancies are observed in test methods and/or results, re-tests may be performed.
• Cast cylinders per CSA A23.2.19 and as required by project specification.
• Reporting – Record data regarding concrete placement. See Record Form QA_Ped3
Support Wall – Concrete Strength Determination

Independent 3rd party testing shall be used to evaluate concrete strength. Landmark may employ
additional methods to establish in-situ strength of concrete in the support wall at ages prior to 7
days. Any of the following methods may be used by Landmark to establish in-situ concrete strength:
• Cast cylinders per CSA A23.2.19 and as required by project specification. In the absence of
direction from the specification or Client, Landmark will direct the testing lab as follows:
- Although check-tests may be made from the first portion of the load, a sample shall be taken
from the middle portion of the load to cast cylinders.
- Cast 8 cylinders per sample.
• Testing schedule for strength assessment in accordance with CSA A23.2.19 Test Method for
Compressive Strength of Cylindrical Concrete Specimens:
- 2 cylinders – test 1-3 days
- 2 cylinders – test 7 days
- 2 cylinders – test 28 days
- 2 cylinders – spare
• CSA A23.2.19 Standard Practice for Estimating Concrete Strength by the Maturity Method
The following controls are implemented during construction operations using the maturity
method:
- Mix Design Verification – Perform a Strength Calibration Procedure. Record results.
Generate a strength-curve graph prior to implementing consecutive-day concrete placements
on the support pedestal.
- Thermocouple Probes – Install thermocouple probes in the wall prior to initial set of the
concrete.
- Correlate and Verify Early Age Strength - The calculated maturity factor (TTF) or PSI
estimation provided by the meter demonstrates acceptable concrete strength prior to form
removal. The maturity factor or estimated PSI is recorded on the Concrete Control form.
- Strength Verification Using Strength Curve - Verify the reported maturity factor (TTF) or
estimated compressive strength meets the form removal criteria.
- Recording Data Ongoing – The maturity meter remains in-situ and records throughout the
form jump process – the last form to be jumped is the interior form where the thermocouples

SBA File No: M20009
are positioned. The maturity factor (TTF) or estimated strength is recorded prior to jumping
the last interior form.
- Report any significant anomalies in maturity results. Suspend concrete placements until
authorized by Landmark Operations Management.
Support Wall – Early Age Form Removal Criteria

Criteria for form removal shall be established by one of the following methods:
• Use of early-age strength determination methods as documented and outlined in this quality
plan. See Record Form QA_Ped2
• Job-specific correspondence written and sealed by the Landmark Engineer of Record.

surfaces designated as architectural concrete unless directed by client and approved by Landmark
• Provide membrane curing compound, wet burlap, plastic sheeting, or other practical curing
methods on exposed non-architectural concrete surfaces such as foundation and dome surface.
Cold Weather Concreting

In the event of “cold weather concreting” conditions, incorporate the recommendations of CSA
A23.2.19 and the following as required:
• Insulating Blankets – provide construction-grade insulated blankets to protect concrete surfaces
from freezing temperatures and maintain the heat produced by the concrete hydration process.

SBA File No: M20009
Remove blankets in a systematic manner to regulate the decrease in concrete temperature over
time.
• Insulated Wall Forms – Provide closed-cell insulating foam securely attached to the form
exterior.
• Supplemental Heat Sources – Provide indirect-fired or high-wattage electrical equipment placed
near the concrete to maintain temporary heating of the forms or concrete.
• Combined Protection – Insulated forms, insulated blankets, and supplemental heat shall be
combined for use in severe cold weather conditions.
• Concrete Placement Temperature – Concrete temperature at the point of delivery shall be per
CSA A23.1.19 Table 14 (10 C minimum) unless supplemental heat is used. If supplemental heat
is used for at least 24 hrs after placement, then concrete temperature at placement shall be
minimum 4 C.
Hot Weather Concreting

The following controls are implemented prior to and during construction operations in hot weather
conditions:
• Monitor Total Water Content – monitor and controls total water content of batched concrete mix
design to insure the maximum specified water- cement ratio is not exceeded.
• Concrete Placement Temperature – Place concrete at temperatures conducive in accordance
with CSA A23.1.19 Table 14, which notes a maximum concrete temperature at placement of 30
C.
• Control Evaporation - When conditions create a potential for excessive bleed-water evaporation,
provide additional controls. Example: cover the top of the wall with a light-colored poly or
provide an approved liquid evaporation retardant immediately following concrete placement and
finishing operations.

D-5: Finite Element Analysis Example

The following Finite Element Analysis was performed on a recently completed Elevated
Tank Project and will be performed by Wes Pogorzelski and Razmyar Ghateh:
1 MG Elevated Water Tank

Finite Element Analysis of the Interface Region.
1. Analysis Description
The Finite Element Method analysis has been performed by means of ANSYS Release 11.0
program. The linear static type of analysis has been used. The objective of the analysis was to
find the response of the interface region of the tank, comprised of dome, steel tank and support
pedestal. The results of the analysis are presented in form of plots and listings of the
sectional forces (moments, shears and axial loads).
2. Geometry.
The analyzed tank has a usable capacity of 1,000,000 gallons. Important dimensions used in the
analysis:
- Shaft radius = 229.5”

- Tank radius = 401.1"
- Break radius = 321.75”
- Shaft thickness = 8”
- Dome thickness = 8”
- Lower cone thickness = 0.67”
- Upper cone thickness = 0.522”
- Average shell thickness = 0.2965”
- Water head = 518.29”
3. Model Description.
Two different axisymmetric FE models have been created.
The first model has been built to analyze sectional forces in the dome and the wall. The elements
used are SHELL51 – axisymmetric shell element and PLANE42 –2-D solid element. The dome,
the wall and the steel tank have been modeled with the shell elements, the ring beam has been
modeled with the plane elements. A set of constraint equations has been used to model rigid
connections between the dome, the ring beam and the wall.
The second model has been created with the same elements as the first one except that the
dome and the wall have been modeled with the plane elements. The objective of the model was
to find a more realistic distribution of the circumferential stresses.
See Fig.1 for description of structural components used in the modeling.

4. Load Cases.
The following load cases have been considered:
1. Load Case 1 – Dead Load, Roof Load and Water Pressure due to H = 518.29”.
2. Load Case 2 – Dead Load, Roof Load and Water Pressure due to H = 130”.
Access tube reaction of 70,290 lbs. was applied to the uppermost section of the dome in both
load cases. Roof reaction of 86,410 lbs. was applied at the top of shell in both load cases.
Dead loads were applied as gravity loads at the element centroids. Cases 1 and 2 have been run
with the modulus of elasticity for concrete of 3605 ksi. All point loads are applied on 360 deg
basis. The hydrostatic pressures are applied as unit loads in accordance with Ansys convention
for the axisymmetric model.
Constraints applied to the model are: displacement degree of freedom constraints applied in
three directions at the base of the wall, circumferential degree of freedom constraint applied at
the uppermost section of the dome.

SBA File No: M20009
5. Results.
The results of Model 1 analysis for sections at the dome base and the top of the wall are
presented in Table 1. Sign convention used: for axial forces – compression negative, for dome
moments – positive when tension on top, for wall moments – positive when tension (or lesser
compression) inside.

Table 2 lists total circumferential forces in the ring beam and the top lift. The forces have been
computed by integrating the circumferential stresses over the area. Sign convention used:
compression negative.

The graphical results are presented in Appendix A.
The diagrams show plots of moment, shear and axial force in the dome and in the upper part of
the wall. All forces are shown on 360 deg basis, i.e. in order to calculate a force per unit length it
has to be divided by the perimeter. The results are shown in Table 1
Figures 1G, 1H, 2G and 2H show plots of circumferential stresses in the ring beam and the
upper part of the wall.
5. Strength check
The maximum compressive stress in the ring beam region does not exceed 283 psi and the
maximum tensile stress does not exceed 65 psi locally. Plain concrete section is capable of
resisting stresses of such magnitude.

SBA File No: M20009
Sections at the base of the dome and the top of the wall have been checked for interaction of
three forces: axial force, shear and moment (Table 3). All loads were multiplied by a conservative
load factor of 1.6 and by the imperfection sensitivity factors based on a large tank study. The
interaction has been checked by means of the ‘Response 2000’ program developed by the
University of Toronto. The program is based on the Compression Field Theory. Figures 3B and
3D show the results of the strength check for the governing Load Case 1. Figures 3A and 3C
show the section properties used in the analysis. The reinforcement provided is capable of
resisting the computed forces.

D-6: Access for Inspection and Maintenance
The following plans and procedures are prepared for bid submittal purposes only, and will be
refined once the final design is completed.
The owner shall ensure that all personnel accessing the facility receive and satisfy all applicable
legislative occupational health and safety and workplace safety requirements and training.
The owner shall ensure that the workplace meets and satisfies all applicable legislative
occupational health and safety and workplace safety requirements, including the creation of any
accredited health and safety management system.
All workers accessing the facility are required to be adequately trained and qualified as required by
all legislative health and safety workplace requirements and training. It is the duty of the owner to
ensure that the health and safety of all workers is protected.
It is the duty of the owner to ensure all fall arrest and rescue equipment is inspected and maintained
by a competent person in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer. All safety
equipment must be inspected at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals to ensure it is in good
working order, by a person with adequate knowledge, training, and experience who is appointed by
the owner.
It is recommended that all work procedures, access procedures, and rescue procedures, as well as
training, be conducted on a yearly basis. The owner should prepare a written training instruction
record for each worker, which should include the worker’s name and date of training, and be signed
by both the owner and worker.
1.0 Access for Maintenance or Inspection (please refer to enclosed drawing)

A. Access from grade level to the top landing
• A galvanized steel vertical ladder will be installed from grade level up to the top of the
concrete pedestal. The ladder will have a CSA Certified Fall arrest system installed / fixed to
the ladder. All personnel climbing the ladder must wear a CSA certified, compatible, full
body harness, lanyard, and customized trolley to be used with the FRL (fixed rail ladder) fall
arrest system. At the top of the ladder will be a “D” Ring anchor point – the climber will
secure their lanyard to the “D” Ring prior to disengaging the trolley from the fall arrest
system. Once the lanyard is secured, the climber can then transition to the top landing
assembly that is installed at the top of the concrete pedestal.

SBA File No: M20009
B. Access from the top landing to the tank roof

• There is another galvanized steel vertical ladder provided from the top landing assembly,
through the access tube and to the tank roof. The ladder will have a CSA Certified Fall
arrest system installed / fixed to the ladder. All personnel climbing the ladder must wear a
CSA certified, compatible, full body harness, lanyard, and customized trolley to be used with
the FRL (fixed rail ladder) fall arrest system. At the top of the ladder will be a “D” Ring
anchor point – the climber will secure their lanyard to the “D” Ring prior to disengaging the
trolley from the fall arrest system. Once the lanyard is secured, the climber can then open
the access tube hatch, and transition from the vertical ladder onto the tank roof.
C. Access to the tank interior (2 options)
Option 1 - Access through the floor manhole

o There is a 10’ +/- long vertical ladder from the top landing to the bottom of the
elevated tank. The tank interior can be accessed by opening the 30” diameter floor
manhole.
Option 2 - Access from the tank roof

o Once the climber has reached the tank roof, a dedicated ‘Hatch to tank interior’ will
be positioned right beside the access tube hatch. The hatch to tank interior can be
opened and climbers can access the tank interior via the ‘Ladder to Tank Interior’

SBA File No: M20009
2.0 Access provisions for Elevated Tank Inspection and Maintenance

A. Elevated Tank Interior Surfaces (for washing, coating repairs, re-coating, etc.)
• All surfaces within the tank interior can be access by swing stages to perform any
inspection, maintenance, coating repairs or coating replacement. There are two (2) circular
‘Painter’s Rails’ located within the tank interior as shown below
• The ‘outer’ paint rail (edge of tank roof) can be accessed by a dedicated Roof hatch
positioned at the outboard edge of the tank roof.
• The ‘inner’ paint rail (around the access tube) can be access by the Hatch to tank interior
B. Elevated Tank Exterior Surfaces (for washing, coating repairs, re-coating, etc.)
• Typically, the exterior surfaces of an Elevated Tank can be accessed by either of the
following:
o Crane with Personnel Basket / Aerial Lift
o Swingstage

SBA File No: M20009
• The Elevated tank will be constructed with Swing stage anchorage points located on the
tank roof for future swing stage / safety line connections. The anchors will be positioned
such that all exterior surfaces can be accessed by a swing stage.
3.0 Access provisions for Concrete Pedestal Inspection and Maintenance

A. Concrete Pedestal Interior Surfaces (Access to riser pipes, concrete inspection)
• At the top of the concrete pedestal, there will be a galvanized steel Rigging Rail (similar to
Painter’s Rail). The rail will be continuous around the inner circumference of the pedestal.
Trolley’s to support the swing stage can easily be installed from the Top Landing location.
This rail will provide full access to all vertical riser pipes, and will permit inspection of the
pedestal interior.
B. Concrete Pedestal Exterior Surfaces (Access exterior surfaces of pedestal)

• At the top of the concrete pedestal / bottom of the elevated steel tank, there will be a
Painter’s rail. The rail will be continuous around the base of the tank. Trolley’s to support the
swing stage can easily be installed from the Top Landing location – through the Paint Rail
Louvre. This rail will provide full access to all exterior surfaces of the concrete pedestal.
• Alternatively, the exterior surfaces of the pedestal can be accessed by Crane w/ Personnel
Basket or an Aerial Lift.

SBA File No: M20009
4.0 Provisions for Rescue

• A complete set of industry standard rescue equipment will be provided to the owner upon
completion of the project. The includes a Davit Arm and Winch system that requires a
Rescue Port Base to support the placement of the Davit Arm / Winch. Landmark will
provide two (2) Rescue Port Base’s at the following locations:

Response 2: Yes, Siemens is an acceptable manufacturer for pressure transmitter.
1
Question 3: Section 16900 2.3.13 - Confirm 2000 psi is required range.
1
Response 3: 2000 psi is not the range. The measuring device in the pressure transmitter shall be
capable of handling a maximum working pressure of 2000 psig.

Question 4: Section 15402 2.1.3 - Carbon steel housing and flanges acceptable?
1
Response 4: Carbon steel housing and flanges with epoxy coating is acceptable. Dielectric couplings
1

Question 5: We have prepared a specification for a Goulds equivalent to the Grundfos CRN pump that
has been specified. We believe that the Goulds product meets the specifications and
1
standards that has been laid out in the RFP. My question is to whether an ODP style motor 1
(OPEN DRIP PROOF) would be acceptable in the installation, or is the preference for a TEPE
(Totally Enclosed Premium Efficiency) motor. With the pump being installed in an indoor 1
equipment room, an ODP motor should be acceptable.

DEVELOPMENT Siting Geotech Investigation Project Specification Design Construction Commissioning
Specification and Construction Process

Landmark offers expert services to assist owners and engineers in the design phase of the project, including preliminary
budget estimates, geotechnical report review, site evaluations, and educational seminars covering everything that you need
to know about Composite Elevated Tank design and construction.
Siting, budgeting and the geotechnical evaluation are the essential starting points for a new tank project. In general, a
square site with 200-foot sides is an ideal location. But many tanks are constructed on sites with a unique set of obstacles.
Access, grades, power lines and trees can greatly affect the price of the project, and potential sites should be carefully
considered. Landmark can provide information about the cost impact of these variables as they relate to both initial
construction and future maintenance.
Once candidate sites have been prequalified and selected, the responsible party should engage a qualified geotechnical
engineer with knowledge of local soil conditions. Landmark’s technical bulletin, “Guidelines for Geotechnical Reports”
provides recommendations for getting a high-quality geotechnical report to ensure that elevated tank builders can provide
the most efficient foundation allowable. Landmark can also provide required information such as tank and pedestal
dimensions, structure and water weight, and wind and seismic loads.
Prior to bid advertisement, Landmark can assist with a final documents review and provide a detailed budget based on
project specifics.

Appendix 2 - SBA2021-04
CORPORATE POLICY Schedule A to By-law # 37-2019
DEPARTMENT: ADMINISTRATION – TREASURY OFFICE
SECTION: DEBT MANAGEMENT POLICY
APPROVAL: COUNCIL
POLICY NUMBER: 2019-04
DATE OF PRESENTATION: June 10, 2019
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 2019
1. DEFINITIONS:
Annual Debt Repayment Limit – (ARL) Schedule 81 of the Financial Information Return (FIR) provided annually
by Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Annual Debt Servicing Costs – annual required debt payment that includes both principal and interest
Debt – any obligation for the payment of money. Debt would normally consist of debentures as well as either
notes or cash loans from financial institutions; Debt includes temporary, short term, and long term borrowing
and may also include loans from Reserve Funds or other financial obligations such as leases.
Lease - a contract by which one party conveys land, property, services, etc. to another for a specified time,
usually in return for a periodic payment.
Line of Credit - A line of credit can also be referred to as revolving credit. A LOC is a standing amount of money, similar
to a loan, that a bank extends to a customer. A customer may draw upon the available line of credit, provided that the
amount does not exceed the limit
Own Source Revenues – direct municipal revenues such as property taxes, user fees and charges. Does not
include grants, deferred revenue, donated or assumed assets, gain/(loss) on the sale of land or capital assets.
*Special note – the town’s revenues, as indicated on the Financial Information Return, include revenues from
the consolidated boards of the town*
Promissory Note - a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party (the note's issuer or maker) to
pay another party (the note's payee) a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date
Page 1 of 4
Reserve – an allocation, at the discretion of council, of accumulated net revenues that can be built up over
several years that have no reference to any specific asset or project; or for use specifically for an identified
project for a future year – discretionary reserve. Reserves do not require their own bank account, do not earn
their own interest. As a general practice, reserve and reserve fund may both be referred to as reserve
Reserve Funds – a fund that has been set aside either by municipal by-law or a requirement of provincial
legislation to meet future capital needs (Development Charges, Gas Tax); reserve funds have a separate bank
account, earn their own interest, and have annual reporting requirements.
Term Loan - A term loan is a loan from a bank for a specific amount that has a specified repayment schedule and either
a fixed or floating interest rate
2. PURPOSE:
To establish a policy that provides guidelines for, and puts limits upon, the use of debt as a method of financing
capital projects. This policy will serve to enhance the quality of decisions and rationalize the decision-making
process with respect to ensuring compliance with statutory requirements and long-term financial flexibility and
sustainability.
3. POLICY STATEMENT:
The Town of Shelburne shall maintain its level of Debt within the guidelines set by the Province of Ontario, by
Ont. Regulation 403/02, and further by the internally set guidelines in the Policy. Debt is a financing source, but
not a funding source. Debt should only be considered when, after deducting all available funding sources such
as Development Charges, Grants, Reserves, is greater than 1% of a tax levy increase. Borrowing from Reserve
Funds is not a valid option (see section 4.5 regarding internal borrowing)
4. PROCEDURES:
4.1 Types of Debt:
a. Short Term Debt – Under 1 Year
The town may borrow temporarily for cash flow purposes from any one or a combination of the
following resources:
i) Bank Line of Credit
ii) Short-term Promissory Note
iii) Reserve Funds
iv) Any other source of short-term indebtedness
The Town’s combined limit of borrowing from the above sources is subject to the limits set in the annual
Borrowing By-Law. Effort should be made to have short term debt repaid prior to December 31st, of the
year the debt is incurred or within one year thereafter as possible.
Page 2 of 4
b. Medium Term Debt – 1 Year to Under 5 Years
Medium term financing requirements, for periods greater than one year but less than five years will
be financed through any one or combination of the following resources:
i) Lease
ii) Term Loan
iii) Promissory Note
iv) Reserve Funds (Internal Loan) (not to exceed 50% of the total fund balance; an interest
rate not less than the prime rate at the time of borrowing)
v) Capital Line or Capital Loan as offered by Infrastructure Ontario
c. Long Term Debt – 5 Years or Greater

Long term debt consists of debentures to finance projects or assets for a period of not less than 5
years and not more than 25 years (or 30 years for vacant land)
4.2 The Town shall issue long-term debt for the following purposes only:
• New building construction;
• Building additions;
• New road construction, bridges, culverts, or other roads infrastructure needs;
• Water and wastewater capital projects, or other water and wastewater infrastructure needs;
• Purchase of property, with or without existing structures
4.3 Term of Long-Term borrowing should be 20-25 years for buildings, 15-20 years for new roads, water or
wastewater infrastructure, or alternatively to correspond to the expected useful life of the related asset.
Flexibility shall be allowed in term length, based on where interest rate levels are in the marketplace (for
example, may go to 20 years for roads when rates are low). Terms beyond 25 years are not permitted
with the exception of vacant land, which is a non-depreciable asset, and if available, a 30-year term for
vacant land is permissible.
4.4 Temporary borrowing during the period of construction, for cash flow purposes, is permitted, and the
interest is to be added to the cost of the asset being constructed. The temporary loan amount shall be
converted to long-term debt once the project is complete. Interest on the long-term debt becomes an
operating budget expense.
4.5 There shall be annual reporting to Council of the Town’s long-term debt and remaining borrowing capacity,
as required by Ont. Reg. 403/02, before any new debt may be approved.
Page 3 of 4
4.6 When determining the debt level under point 4.6, both external borrowing and internal borrowing, from
Town Reserve Funds, will be combined in order to measure the debt capacity remaining. Internal borrowing
should only take place when the capital asset can pay for itself within a reasonable time period, not to exceed
10 years or the life expectancy of the asset, whichever is less.
4.7 The maximum permitted amount of long-term debt shall be not more than 40% of the amount determined
under the province’s Annual Debt Repayment Limit (ARL) calculation, received annually from the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs, or 10% of the town’s own source revenues. The conversion of the ARL figure for debt-
servicing into a gross amount of debt shall be done using an interest rate that is reflective of current market
conditions, and a term that conforms to point 4.3 of this Policy.
4.8 The Town shall arrange borrowing through Infrastructure Ontario, through the Town’s bank, or through a
fiscal agent working in the debenture marketplace. The best loan arrangements available shall determine
the choice of the source of borrowing.
4.9 This Policy shall be revisited and updated as circumstances require.
