Summary |
The City of Toronto has more than 5,600 kilometres of roads which are vital to the economic health of the city and the service to our residents, businesses and visitors. It is important, therefore, that these roads are maintained in an acceptable condition for all users. This means that the roads must be safe to use, comfortable to ride or walk on and look in reasonably good shape.
Cuts into the roads by utility companies lead to serious deterioration of our roads. These are the cuts to the pavement made by the utility companies, such as Toronto Hydro, Enbridge, Bell, telecom companies, and even our own Toronto Water Division, to install, repair or expand their underground services. The repairs or patches to these utility cuts can result in a very uneven pavement that is uncomfortable to drive, cycle or walk on and is usually visually intrusive. At times, the patches can settle to a point where they create a hazard.
It is recognized that these utility companies provide valuable and essential services to the residents and businesses of our City and, accordingly, it is necessary to accommodate their needs as much as possible. However, each year the City issues permits for more than 38,000 utility cuts to our roads and that number is growing annually. To put this into perspective, this number of utility cuts totals over 200,000 square metres of pavement or the equivalent of the width of Yonge Street from Lake Ontario to Steeles Avenue (a total length of 17 kilometres). The disruption of this number of utility cuts to businesses, residents and visitors of Toronto is significant and the impact on the service-life of the road network is substantial.
Recognizing the extent of utility cut activity in our City and the resulting disruption to our communities, in 2006 City Council requested the Transportation Services Division to undertake a study of the impact of utility cuts on our pavements and, more specifically, the development of a “Pavement Degradation Fee Schedule.” These fees would be an additional fee charged to the utility companies for the cuts that they make to the road pavements that would allow the City to recover the costs that it incurs due to the resulting reduction in the pavement service-life as well as increased maintenance expenses. All fees collected would go to a reserve fund for future road repairs and maintenance in the City. This report presents the findings of the 2-year study that involved extensive data collection and analysis of the impact of utility cuts on the City’s pavements, outlines how the pavement degradation fees were developed, the implications of the fees to the utility companies, including Toronto Water, and a strategy for their implementation. In addition, this report seeks City Council approval on the establishment of a reserve fund from the fees collected from utility companies, Toronto Water and similar providers to help pay for the future reconstruction, resurfacing and maintenance of the City’s roads.
Until now, the City has focused its efforts on ensuring that the road pavements are structurally sound. However, the complaints received by the City from residents and businesses with respect to the condition of our roads are not typically related to the structural integrity of the pavement, although obviously important, but more so on the comfort when using the roads as well as on the look of the roads. Therefore, the Transportation Services Division has undertaken a review of the overall utility cut management process, including standards, requirements, levels of inspection and enforcement, etc. to determine whether a different approach is needed to more effectively address the concerns of the travelling public. Accordingly, this report identifies opportunities for improvements to the utility cut management process and recommends the timeframes for implementation.
By adopting the recommendations in this report, the City will be able to more effectively manage the utility cut process. We will also be able to ensure that the necessary measures and funds are in place to maintain the roads in a safer, more usable condition for all users. Finally, there will be a communications system in place that would enable the public to know when and where utility cut repairs are taking place. |
Financial Impact |
Approval and implementation of the Pavement Degradation Fee Schedules will result in an average annual cost recovery for the Transportation Services Division of $4.0 million. This estimate is based on a weighted average pavement degradation fee of $20.00 per square metre and assumes 2008 levels for pavement-related utility cut work and repair in the amount of 200,000 square metres. The amounts generated from these fees will be dedicated for use within the Transportation Services Division’s Capital and Operating Budgets to offset the cost of rehabilitation or repair of the City’s pavements due to utility cuts. Estimated revenue from pavement degradation fees for 2010 is $1.0 million and it is included in the Transportation Services’ 2010 Recommended Operating Budget to recover pavement maintenance costs.
Adoption of the Pavement Degradation Fee Schedules will require the establishment of a reserve fund to accrue funds to be deposited from utility companies and others, which will be used in future years for the reconstruction, resurfacing and maintenance of the City’s pavements. The fee program will be administered from within existing Transportation Services resources.
An increase in the Utility Cut Billings Fee from the current 19.0 percent to 22.5 percent, for engineering and supervision, would be used to recover the cost of the additional resources, estimated at 20.0 staff positions, at a cost of $0.688 million, required to enhance key areas of field inspection, contract administration, enforcement of standards and specifications through quality control of the utility work undertaken by applicants. The first ten positions (i.e., 8 Utility Cut Examiners and 2 Maintenance Patrollers) are required in 2010 and will be funded through the revenue generated from the increased Utility Cut Billings Fee. This revenue is estimated at $0.820 million for 2010 and it is included in the Transportation Services’ 2010 Recommended Operating Budget. The remaining ten positions (i.e., 6 Maintenance Patrollers, 2 Supervisors Contract Inspection, 1 Inspector and 1 Inspector Municipal Construction) required in 2011 will be accommodated through a reallocation of existing vacant positions and reported with the 2011 Operating Budget Process. An incremental revenue impact of $0.580 million is anticipated in 2011.
Approval and implementation of the ‘Full Stream’ Utility Cut Permit Fee in the amount of $600.00 per full stream application to be paid by all persons, including utilities, will allow the City to recover its expenses associated with the review and inspection of full stream applications, which for 2010 is estimated at $0.400 million (i.e., based on June 1, 2010 implementation of the fee) with an incremental impact of $0.530 million to June 1, 2011. The anticipated revenues for 2010 are included in the Technical Services’ 2010 Recommended Operating Budget.
The cost of the recommended “Immediate” and “Short Term” initiatives for improvements to the utility cut management process is minor and requires only collaboration between Toronto Water, Technical Services, Transportation Services and the utility companies. Financial implications related to the initiatives identified as “Intermediate” and “Long Term” will be reported back after a detailed assessment has been undertaken. |

Summary |
The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Contract No. 47014300 for the permanent repairs to utility cuts in Wards 7, 11 and 12 (Etobicoke York District), issued to Sunrise Contracting Inc.
