Report PW 02 -13 July 2, 2013 Subject: Memorandum of Understanding for the Winter Maintenance of Crossing Roads and Detour Roads during the Design and Construction Phase of Hwy 407 East in the City of Pickering Page 2 Compensation will be calculated based on an annual lump sum for crossing roads and detour roads at a rate of $1,840 per lane kilometer for all roads. Based on an estimated 8.4 lane kilometers of crossing roads, the anticipated annual revenue is $15,456. The length of crossing roads may vary from year to year, as a result of temporary road closures and /or new detour road lengths. An annual inflation adjustment will be applied to the payment price, based on the Ontario Consumer Price Index (CPI). Discussion: The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has confirmed the transfer to their ownership of several segments of City of Pickering roads between Hwy 7 and Seventh Concession Road with a total length of approximately 8.38 lane km as follows: Roads /Detours Lane km Sideline 14 north of Highway 7 Gravel Road 2.62 Paddock Road north of Highway 7 Surface Treated Road 0.72 Salem Road north of Highway 7 Gravel Road 2.16 Sideline 4 north of Highway 7 Gravel Road 0.84 Kinsale Road north of Highway 7 Gravel Road 2.04 Total Length 8.38 The segments are now the responsibility of the Province to provide maintenance year - round. During the design and construction phases of the Hwy 407 East extension (east of Brock Road), the Province has contracted the maintenance responsibilities to OMR 407 East Development Group who has approached the City of Pickering to be their maintenance service provider. The City of Pickering, as a service provider, has agreed to provide winter maintenance for existing crossing roads and detour roads, subject to a satisfactory agreement being reached through a memorandum of understanding. The City will continue to sand, salt, plow and remove snow and ice as needed in accordance with the City of Pickering standards during the term of this agreement, even if these crossing roads are declared a Construction Zone, as long as normal transit of vehicles is allowed on these roads.
