REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C2012 -268
October 11, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
The City of Saint )Cahn
SUBJECT: Contract No. 2012 -6: Rodney Terminal Outfall Renewal — Phase 3 (Check
Valve)
BACKGROUND
This project is the third and final phase of the overall work to renew the 21 00m diameter storm
sewer outfall pipe that crosses Rodney Terminal from the Market Place Sanitary Lift Station to
the Saint John Harbour. There is an existing flap gate in the pipe approximately 80m upstream
of the Harbour which is designed to hold back seawater during high tide. The 2012 General
Fund Capital Program includes funding for the installation of an inline check valve to provide
additional protection from seawater travelling up the pipe and potentially flooding sections of the
Lower West Side during higher Bay of Fundy tides.
The work consists generally of the supply of all necessary labour, materials and equipment for
the installation of the check valve, including all sewer cleaning, preparation and any required
flow control and/or flow bypass necessary for the valve installation.

POLICY - TENDERING OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
The recommendation in this report is made in accordance with the provisions of Council's policy
for the tendering of construction contracts, the City's General Specifications and the specific
project specifications.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Contract 2012 -6: Rodney Terminal Outfall Renewal - Phase 3 (Check
Valve) be awarded to the low tenderer, Fairville Construction Ltd., at the tendered price of
$101,922.61 including HST as calculated based upon estimated quantities, and further, that the

M & C 2012 — 269
October 11, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
The City of Saint John
SUBJECT: Contract No. 2012 -23: Frederick & Seaton Street — Watermain, Sanitary
and Storm Sewer Installation and Street Reconstruction
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to update Council on the status of the Frederick & Seaton Street -
Watermain, Sanitary and Storm Sewer Installation and Street Reconstruction project.
BACKGROUND
The 2012 General Fund and Water & Sewerage Utility Fund Capital Programs include funding
for a complete street reconstruction of Frederick and Seaton Street as well as new watermain and
storm sewer.
In additional to the above noted programs' funding was provided as part of the Harbour Clean -up
Program in order to eliminate the sanitary sewer outfalls to Marsh Creek.
The work consists generally of the supply of all necessary labour, materials and equipment for
the installation of new watermain, sanitary and storm sewer along Frederick and Seaton Street as
well as complete street reconstructions.
ANALYSIS
The watermain, sanitary and storm sewer installation and street reconstruction for this project
commenced in late August 2012. To date, the Contractor is completing the pipe work on
Frederick and Seaton Street which will be followed by completing the street reconstruction of
both streets. As is normal for most large construction projects there has been some unforeseen
work arise through the course of the construction project. Most of the unforeseen work to date
has been what is considered typical for a project of this nature with one exception.

M & C 2012 - 269
October 11, 2012

ANALYSIS (CONT'D)
During the course of the works, the Contractor encountered contaminated soils on both Frederick
and Seaton Streets that were inconsistent with previous projects in the area. As per the
Department of Environment and Local Government regulatory requirements, the City
immediately informed the local Environment Inspector that material excavated during
construction contained petroleum products or derivatives. The Department of Environment
requested that an environmental engineering consultant be retained to assess, sample,
recommend a course of action and report on the findings to the City and the Environment. The
City requested Stantec to assess the situation and test, advise and report on the contaminant(s)
found.
At the request of the Department of Environment and Local Government test digs were
completed on Frederick Street and Seaton Street in order to determine the level of contamination
in the area. The City's environmental engineering consultant obtained samples, from several
locations along both streets. At the recommendation of Stantec, eight samples were sent away for
testing and the lab test results came back positive for petroleum product contamination on six of
the samples.
The areas of contaminated soil are currently being excavated, treated and disposed of at an
approved site. Contaminated soils such as these are not able to be disposed of in the same
manner as common excavation. The estimated additional costs incurred for this unforeseen work
includes the cost of removal, treatment and disposal.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The environmental engineering consultant has completed their soil sampling work and have
provided their site recommendations to the City and the Department of Environment and Local
Government. The recommendations include excavation, removal, treatment and disposal of the
contaminated soils. The final report is being prepared and will be submitted to the Environment
upon receipt by the City.
The original contract included a contingency in the amount of $115,000 for typical unforeseen
work that would arise over the course of construction. Normally, this contingency amount would
be sufficient to cover unforeseen work but with the contaminated soils encountered, the
projection at this time is that the contract will likely exceed the award amount by approximately
$450,000 (plus HST).
City staff, along with their engineering consultant (Crandall Engineering) are exploring and
implementing cost saving measures in order to mitigate additional costs of treating the
contaminated soils.

Supplementary funding is now required to offset the additional costs identified in this report. It is
proposed to utilize surplus funding from Capital Program projects that were tendered and
awarded in 2012 as follows:
Capital Project Surplus Funding
to be Utilized
Rodney Terminal Storm. Outfall Renewal (M & C 2012 - 268) $250,000
Beach Crescent Sanitary Sewer (M & C 2012 - 160) $200,000
Seaward Crescent Well House Upgrades (M & C 2012 - 219) $ 50,000
Total: $500,000
CONCLUDING COMMENT
Staff have proceeded with the removal and disposal of the contaminated soils encountered as per
environmental regulations. Staff will update Council with the final project costs, should the final
cost exceed the current projection.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that this report be received and filed.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C2012 -266
October 9, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: Westgate Park Drainage Basin
BACKGROUND
ERIE 6 ,
The City of Saint john
On August 4t', 2009, Common Council requested a report outlining possible solutions and costs
associated with resolving storm drainage concerns in Westgate Park. The request was sparked by
various issues that have arisen in this subdivision over the years and the impacts of ongoing
development. CBCL Limited was engaged to carry out an engineering study of the drainage basin
and systems serving the subdivision.
The goals of the drainage basin study were:
• To determine the adequacy of the existing storm sewer and drainage systems for the
current level of development as well as for a fully developed drainage basin.
• To investigate drainage concerns, evaluate those and make recommendations.
• To identify locations where pipes, structures, or open drainage systems are inadequate or
poorly configured, and where improvements can be made.
On October 12, 2010 (M & C 2010 -254), staff reported back to Council outlining the findings of the
CBCL engineering study and provided recommendations for Council's consideration.
ANALYSIS
At its October 1, 2012 meeting, Common Council resolved by way of submission by Councillor
Farren "that staff bring forward an action plan, along with a time table of such actions, to alleviate
the flooding in Westgate Park."
As part of the 2013 budget process, the draft 5 -year General Fund Capital Budget is proposed to be
presented to Council for review on November 19, 2012. The measures to alleviate flooding in the
Westgate Park Drainage Basin will be proposed in the storm category of the 5 -year General Fund
Capital Budget.

REPORT TO COMMON COUNCIL
M &C2012 -271
October 16, 2012
His Worship Mayor Mel Norton
and Members of Common Council
Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: In -House Solid Waste Collection Model Update
BACKGROUND
The City of Saint John
At its September 22, 2011 meeting, Common Council approved the M &C 2011 -254: Solid Waste
Management Service — Collection Decision. This Report is a progress report regarding the new
collection model.
ANALYSIS
The City's Solid Waste Management Service began collecting all 53 routes within a 2 week
cycle beginning on September 3, 2012. Previously 19/53 routes were contracted. The new
collection model required the addition of four permanent staff and three new collection units
(packers) as outlined in M &C 2011 -89: Solid Waste Management Service — Outsource Decision.
Resource planning for the in -house collection model included the analysis of several factors:
tonnage, number of residential stops, growth areas, difficult collection areas (turning concerns,
narrow roads, one way streets), route realignment and geographical matches. The results
indicated a requirement to reschedule four routes to create a balanced solid waste and compost
collection schedule; Week 1 — Latimore (Tues) & Fundy Heights (Fri) moved to Wednesday and
Week 2 — Champlain Heights (Tues) & Lorneville (Fri) moved to Wednesday.
Citizens were informed of these route changes using the City website, local radio stations,
Telegraph Journal, Kijiji, InSight magazine, household flyers and media advisories. The City
website schedules and maps were updated showing each impacted street. Rothesay Avenue
Customer Service staff was available to answer any questions from the public.
The overall collection of the residential solid waste during September has been a success based
on the first month's analysis using the in -house collection model. Some of the pros and cons of
the transition are:
Pros:
• September was the first month in four years that Solid Waste and Compost Collection
sub - service was able to meet the 95% Service Objective: "Percentage of collection routes
completed with an 8 hour shift'. Previous measurements included City forces and the
contractor. 61
In-House Solid Waste Collection Model Update
Report to Common Council, M & C 2012 — 271
October 16, 2012
Page 2
• Several citizens have contacted Customer Service to express their pleasure with the City
service since the in -house collection model was implemented.
• City staff returned to missed households who forgot or missed the entire PR for the
changeover for collection. These return visits are no longer a concern after two collection
cycles.
• Increased response to citizen concerns when dealing with City staff versus attempting
investigation through a contractor.
Cons:
• Two new rear load packers are expected to be delivered by October 16, 2012.
Manufacturer's delays have resulted in a requirement for two rental packers that have
been in use since early September. This short term expenditure is offset against the
monthly Fleet charges in the absence of the rear load packers.
• The absent split rear load (compost/garbage) packers have required using 2 single stream
packers to collect in same area. Citizens have inquired how the City is saving money.
• Citizens expected the City's in -house collection pattern to remain the same as the
contractor. Ultimately, citizens' responsibility is to place the garbage /compost curbside
before 7:30 am on collection day or IOpm the previous evening.
• New customers were reminded that garbage must be placed curbside and not left in
stationary large bins as per the Solid Waste By -law.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The anticipated conservative financial savings for this initiative were noted in Common Council
M &C 2011 -89: Solid Waste Management Service — Outsource Decision. Since undertaking this
initiative, the City has recognized substantial Capital savings in the order of $281,207 inc. HST.
The Solid Waste operating budget has an approximate September savings of $79,000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Common Council receive this information and file.

Your Worship and Councillors:
Re: Amendment to the Procedural By- Law /Supplemental Agenda
At its meeting held on September 24, 2012, Common Council resolved to
amend the Procedural By -Law "if necessary to add a permanent number
to the regular open meeting for the Supplemental Agenda items, could be
number 16 and that Council also add another additional permanent
number, could be number 17, for Items from Committee of the Whole
Meetings and also review the procedural by -law that states that Council
must lift items from the table before dealing with the items ".
At section 10.3 of the Municipalities Act, the Legislature has imposed an
obligation on municipalities to enact a by -law to regulate the procedures of
their Council meetings. Council complied with this obligation and recently
enacted an Amendment, the effect of which was to change the delivery
date of Council's Agenda Kit from the Friday immediately preceding a
regular Council meeting to the Tuesday immediately preceding such
meeting. This same amendment also made provision for a Supplemental
Agenda to be delivered on the Thursday immediately preceding the
regular meeting. It also provided that any matter appearing on the
Supplemental Agenda may be debated but is deemed to be tabled
following any debate, or immediately tabled if there is no debate (see
Section 8.13). The deadline for submission of items to the Regular
Agenda and Supplemental Agenda are established as the Monday and
Thursday respectively immediately preceding a Regular Council Meeting
(Section 8.19 and Section 8.10).
It is because of the automatic tabling provision of Section 8.13 of the By-
Law, that Council must lift from the table the items listed on the
Supplemental Agenda before dealing with them at the meeting of their
initial receipt.

Re: Amendment to Procedural By- LawlSupplemental Agenda
City Solicitor
Page 2
If it is Council's wish that the items appearing on the Supplemental
Agenda no longer be automatically tabled, then the provisions of the
Procedural By -Law which caused the automatic tabling should be
repealed. The sections are Section 8.13, 8.14, and 8.15.
We would note that eliminating the automatic tabling provision
respecting items on the Supplemental Agenda will effectively establish
the Thursday immediately preceding the regular Council meeting as the
deadline for submission of items to be included on a Council Agenda.
We have prepared and attach to this correspondence two different
amendments to the Procedural By -Law. The first amends only Section
8.4 of the By -Law by adding "Supplemental Agenda" as number 16 on
the Agenda, the "Committee of the Whole" as number 17 on the Agenda
and "adjournment" as number 18 on the Agenda. The second
amendment does the former and also repeals Sections 8.13, 8.14 and
8.15, the latter being those provisions of the By -Law which deal with
automatic tabling of matters appearing on the Supplemental Agenda.
Council may give first and second reading to whichever of the draft
Amendments achieves Council's wish, be it to simply amend the By -Law
to add two new heading to the Agenda, or to amend the By -Law by
adding those headings and also doing away with the automatic tabling
provisions.

SUBJECT: 2012 Fleet Replacement Program
BACKGROUND:
On an annual basis staff of the Fleet Management division prepare and present to user
departments a list of vehicles and equipment recommended for replacement during the current
year. The list is the result of a review of the City of Saint John Fleet by applying the principles of
an economic fleet usage and replacement program as endorsed by the National Association of
Fleet Administrators (NAFA).
This list is then reviewed with the various departments to ensure that the recommendations fall
within the scope of their production requirements. From these discussions a final list is
developed in accordance with available program funding.
The primary objective of the Fleet Replacement Program is to replace light and heavy duty
vehicles and equipment used in the provision of municipal services in a fiscally responsible
manner. The Fleet Administration team uses an Optimum Replacement Point (ORP) analysis to
determine which vehicles will be recommended for replacement. Attached to this report is a
summary of the vehicles being recommended for replacement in 2012.
.ANALYSIS:
The ORP is a numeric vehicle rating system which takes into account the vehicle age,
accumulated kilometers, total maintenance costs incurred over the life of the vehicle, fuel
consumption rating and, overall vehicle condition. Once a vehicle attains an ORP score of 17 or
greater it is deemed to be ready for replacement during the current budget year. These
replacement vehicle candidates are also reviewed with the user department to confirm and meet
departmental requirements. Although vehicle specifications are created to encourage responsive
vendor competition there are some vehicles which are unfortunately only manufactured by one
company and consequently available from only one dealer.
67
PAGE TWO
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City of Saint John user departments are billed on a monthly basis, for the supply and use of
Fleet vehicles. This internal funding has two primary financial objectives:
1. To recover the mechanical costs to maintain the City of Saint John Fleet and,
2. To support the Vehicle Reserve Fund of which annually funds the Fleet Replacement
program.
The Fleet Replacement Program was established approximately 12 years ago based on the
Province of New Brunswick's Department of Transportation model. The fee structure has been
modified on occasion by Fleet Administration staff to better reflect municipal service needs. The
Vehicle Reserve Fund generated by the fleet replacement program has sufficient funds to fully
cover the cost of the twenty -five units being proposed for replacement. In addition, the
acquisition of the vehicles and equipment has the potential of saving annual vehicle maintenance
costs of approximately $250,000.
Fleet staff have estimated the unit cost of each replacement vehicle based on experience,
historical vehicle cost data, current Canadian vehicle market data, pertinent vendor /manufacturer
pricing, and communications with various Canadian municipalities concerning their recent
vehicle tender awards.
Ouu 1040 t: f0
It is recommended that Common Council approve the acquisition of vehicles and equipment as
identified in the attached Schedule 1 at a cost not to exceed $2,380,000 plus applicable taxes.

Your Worship and Members of Council:
The City of Saint John
RE: Move Fire Station 4 operations from Courtenay Avenue to the Transit Facility
REPORT SUMMARY:
At the July 23rd 2012 meeting of Common Council a resolution was passed which
requested staff to examine the possibility of moving the fire station operations currently
located at Courtenay Avenue to available space within the transit facility located on
McDonald Street.
The attached detailed report provides a thorough assessment on the impact of operating the
Courtenay Avenue Fire Station from the McDonald Street Transit Facility. The assessment
includes an impact analysis from both an operational and financial perspective.
The operational impact analysis included a review of the followinpa:
• Response Time
• Fire Demand Zones (general)
■ Fire Demand Zone 4
• Fire Station operations with respect to turnout time
o Transit facility option with 1 minute impact on turnout time
o Transit facility option with little to no impact on turnout time
• Ability to integrate Rescue 4 (4 firefighters) within the Transit Facility
• Comparison on response times and coverage within and between Demand Zones
from both the Courtenay Avenue (current) and the McDonald Street Transit
Facility (proposed) location.
70
Page 2 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
The financial impact analysis included a review of the following:
• Life expectancy of the 36 Courtenay Avenue building
• Average operating costs at the 36 Courtenay Avenue building
• Cost to integrate Rescue 4 (four firefighters) within the Transit Facility
• Two Options explored re: cost of transit building modifications
o Option with 1 minute impact on turnout time
o Option with little to no impact on turnout time
• Financial comparison of staying at the current location vs. moving to the transit
facility
Conclusion of the Operational & Financial Impact Analysis:
Two options were explored with respect to the building modifications that would be
necessary to enable the transit facility to operate as a fire station.
Option A — Consists of moderate modifications to the transit facility with a capital cost
that ranges from $850,000 to $1.5 million and a yearly increase in operating expense in
the range of $20,000 to $30,000. This option increases turnout time for emergency
response by at least one minute. (The extra one minute in turnout time could have a
significant impact for emergency response and in particular with respect to fire growth
and cardiac arrest.... See attached. htlp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDNPhg5ggoE).
Option B — Consists of significant modifications to the transit facility with a capital
cost that is in the 2 million dollar range and a yearly increase in operating expenses in
the range of $10,000 to $20,000. This option provides a minimal increase in turnout
time.
Recommendation
The operational and financial assessment on the feasibility of moving the current
Courtenay Avenue fire station to the unused space within the transit facility indicates that
the City of Saint John is better served (operationally and financially) by continuing to
function at its current location as opposed to moving to the transit facility.

REPORT DETAILS:
BACKGROUND:
Council at its meeting of July 23, 2012 endorsed a resolution requesting that staff examine
the feasibility of moving the Courtenay Avenue Fire Station operations (Rescue 4) to the
Transit Facility on McDonald Street. The purpose of this report is to present to Common
Council the results of the comprehensive assessment of moving the Courtenay Avenue Fire
Station to the Transit Facility on McDonald Street.
ANALYSIS
A. Response Times
Efficient response times are a significant factor in successful outcomes for emergency
incidents. Total response time (from the time the call is made to the 911 Centre, until
emergency personnel arrive on the scene) is a product of three very different
components of the emergency response, namely:
Dispatch time - the amount of time that it takes the 911 Centre to process the
call for help and notify the emergency response team of the emergency
(dispatch the response unit).
Turnout time — the amount of time it takes for the response team to stop what
they are doing (after hearing the dispatch) in the station, get to vehicle area, put
on their protective ensemble (bunker gear), and to be safely positioned on the
fire apparatus.
• Travel time — the amount of time it takes for the apparatus to travel from the
fire station to the incident.
The National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA) 1710, for a professional
fire services recommends that fire departments aspire to achieve a travel time of 4
minutes or less for the first arriving apparatus and a full response (arrival of all units)
at the scene of a working fire within 8 minutes travel time, 90 percent of the time.
The 1991 Ernst & Young study on the City of Saint John Fire Protection Services
referenced a travel time objective of 5 minutes or less for first arriving company and 9
minute or less travel time for all arriving companies. Council received and filed the
1991 report; however, the 5 minute travel time objective (which also identified 5
minute and 30 seconds for the combination of turnout and travel times) has been
referenced a number of times in the context of what turnout and travel response time
should be.
72
Page 4 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
For information purposes, the Saint John Fire Department achieves Ernst & Young
objective of 5 minutes and 30 seconds (turnout and travel time ) 80 percent of the time
for fires and 88% of the time for non fire calls (the difference being in the turnout
times).
The current NFPA standard recommends that fire departments aspire to achieve a
turnout time (identified above) of 1 minute 20 seconds, 90% of the time and as such
the current NFPA standard on turnout and travel time totals 5 minutes and 20 seconds,
90% of the time. The NFPA standard on turnout time is more robust since the 1991
study, in that firefighters are now required to have all their personal protective
equipment on and properly buckled on the truck before the truck leaves the station.
With respect to the need for a quick response, the National Institute of Science and
Technology (KIST) through the Underwriters Laboratory Association has clearly
identified a change in the flash over time period of today's household construction and
furnishing materials when compared to legacy construction and furnishing materials.
Indeed flashover time (time that it takes for all combustible materials in a room to
ignite) of today's room and contents fire is at least twice as fast as a few short years
ago. See the following u -tube -video which illustrates flashover time of modern and
legacy furnishings and building materials as conducted by the National Institute of
Standards and Testing (KIST)

B. Fire Demand Zones
As referenced in past reports, Saint John is broken into seven fire demand zones which
are interlinked. Each zone has a fire station with its own unique fire loads and
response demands. Structure fire response (the number of fire trucks assigned to a
particular fire) is a factor of fire loads. Older, commercial, and industrial occupancies
have mild to heavy fire loads and as such 16 to 24 firefighters are a recommended first
alarm response. The Saint John Fire Departments first alarm response to any structure
or industrial fire is drawn from a number of demand zones (minimum 3 demand zones)
with the most critical role belonging to that first arriving unit coming from the demand
zone where the fire is located.
73
Page 5 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
In theory, fire stations are located such that they give optimal coverage within their
demand zone, as well as quick travel time to adjacent demand zones when called to be
the 2"d, 3`d or 4�" arriving company /fire truck as part of the first alarm response to a
structure fire. As noted on the illustrated map below, the current location of the City's
seven Fire Stations represents an attempt to balance the needs of protecting the city
core, while providing some level of suburban fire protection service.
To this end, fire stations are rarely in their optimal location. This is a result of land
availability at the time of site selection, cost to acquire the optimal site, poor soil
conditions at the optimal site, or simply years of community development different
than envisioned at the time of locating the Fire Station (Millidgeville Station).
C. Fire Demand Zone 4 (Consists of the Courtenay Avenue Station & Transit Facility
on McDonald Street)
Fire Demand Zone 4 represents that portion of East Saint John generally bound by
Bayside Drive, Russell Street, Rothesay Avenue, Retail Drive, Irving Oil Refinery,
along the City Boundary to the Bay of Fundy, along the coast back to Courtenay Bay.
Fire Demand Zone 4 consists of a number of mild to heavy fire load occupancies such
as:
• A mix of single and multi - residential structures (including a major senior
citizens complex);
• Mixed commercial developments ( Bayside Drive, McDonald St, Rothcsay
Avenue, etc.);
An Oil Refinery;
• Two industrial parks;
• Regional Correctional Facility;
Canaport bulk oil storage facility;
74
Page 6
Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
• Paper Mill;
• Wallboard operation;
• Canaport LNG; and
• Two remote neighbourhoods (Red Head and Old Black River Road)
In 2011, Engine 4 (Courtenay Avenue) responded to 1,291 emergency calls. As part
of 2012 budget approval process, the Fire Department's response capability was
reduced by one Engine Company. Engine 4 was retired and replaced with Rescue 5
(1,964 emergency related calls in 2011) previously housed at Fire Station 5 on
Adelaide and Main Street. Rescue 5 was renamed "Rescue 4" and repositioned at No. 4
Fire Station (Courtenay Avenue) in place of the retired Engine 4. The Rescue Unit
responds to most all accidents and fires in the central, north and eastern parts of the city
and as such, the number of emergency related runs for Rescue 4 (out of Courtenay
Avenue) is estimated to increase to 1,500 calls per annum (based upon calls to date).
The following graphic illustrates the geographical borders of Fire Demand Zone 4 and
further presents the 2, 4, 6 and 8 minute travel times of Rescue 4 within its zone and to
adjacent zones (as 2nd arriving company) from the current location on Courtenay
Avenue. As illustrated in the below graphic, the community of Red Head, the residents
along Old Black River Road as well as the Regional Correctional Facility are beyond
the 8 minute response time for first arriving company.
75
Page 7 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
Yellow line -- Two minutes and under travel time for first fire truck
Orange line — Four minutes and under travel time for Burst fire truck
Red line — Six minutes and under travel time for first fire truck
Black line — Eight minutes and under travel time for first fire truck
Roads with no colour — More than eight minutes of travel time for first fire truck
The proposed relocation of Rescue 4 from the Courtenay Avenue location to the
Transit Facility will not haN e a significant impact on travel time (elapsed time that
occurs once truck leaves the station) in that there will be both service level
improvements and deficiencies within Fire Demand Zone 4 and the adjacent zones.
From a service level improvement perspective, Rescue 4 could have better (shorter)
travel times to:
• Parts of Rothesay Avenue
• Loch Lomond Road Area
® Simonds Lions Senior's Complex
• Irving Oil Refinery
• The Ellerdale Street area
• Calls within Fire Demand Zone 2 (East Saint John)
From a service level reduction perspective, Rescue 4 could have worse (longer) travel
times to:
• Red Head and Mispec
• Old Black River Road
• Regional Correction Facility
a Canaport LNG and the Canaport bulk oil storage facility
+ The two industrial parks and heavy industry along Bayside Drive
• Calls within Fire Demand Zone 1 (Uptown)
D. Fire Station Operations — From a turnout time perspective
In its simplest terms, a Fire Station is a garage like building with attached living
quarters. Fire Stations are designed around quick -safe access to the Fire Truck, from
anywhere in the building. In other words, the design of a Fire Station is intended to
support short turnout times and as such efficient overall response time. (dispatch,
turnout, & travel time)
At the time of an alarm, firefighters could be in the fitness room, washroom, kitchen,
training room, watch deck or dormitory (night). When an alarm is activated,
firefighters cease whatever they are doing and head to the apparatus floor, put on their
bunker gear, buckle up in the vehicle and head out the door. Ideally this turn out time
takes no longer than ? minute and 20 seconds (new change in standard). To this end,
76
Page & Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
the longer it takes the personnel to get to the fire truck, the Ionger the turnout time will
be and, by extension, the longer the ov=erall response time.
E. Fire Station 4 — 36 Courtenay Avenue: Current State and Future Vision
The 36 Courtenay Avenue building is currently occupied by both Police and Fire. The
building can be described as a 2,500 square foot apparatus bay with an attached two
storey office area / living quarters. The Police currently occupy the ground floor office
(2,200 sq. ft. + / -), while the Fire Department occupies the office and living quarters on
the second floor of the building (2,400 sq. ft. + / -). The land under and around the
subject building is part of a larger parcel that supports a playground and ball field.
Within the living quarters' section of Fire Station 4 is a fitness room, washroom, locker
room, training room, office, kitchen, and dormitory. The apparatus bay portion
(garage) of the Fire Station houses Rescue 4 (active); Tank 8 (reserve); and the EMO
command trailer (active). In addition to housing vehicles, the apparatus bay also
accommodates: hose storage, peat moss storage, bunker gear storage, a hose dryer,
cleaning supplies storage, air lines and compressor, electrical lines, diesel fume
extraction systems, wall /ceiling hydrant, utility room, equipment repair room (tool
room) and the public greeting area referred to as the watch desk.
Outside of this specific analysis, it has long been recognized that the current location of
the Saint John Fire Prevention Division is inadequate with respect to serving the
Citizens of Saint John. The Fire Prevention Division is currently located on the second
level of Fire Station 1 (Carmarthen Street) with no direct public access. The vision for
Fire Prevention is to provide two highly accessible store front operations (one east, one
north) along with ongoing citizen/customer support from a ground floor office at the
Carmarthen Street Fire Station.
The departure of the Police Department from the ground floor office area of the
Courtenay Avenue Station could provide the Fire Prevention Division with a
significant opportunity to connect with the citizens of Saint John. The Courtenay
Avenue site also provides a number of fire prevention program opportunities given the
close proximity to Bayside Middle School.
F. Fire Station 4 — Remaining Life Expectancy and Annual Operating Cost
Fire Station 4 is approximately 48 years old. Over the last 10 years, approximately
$170,000 has been expended on capital requirements based on the life expectancy of
several major building systems, including heating, ventilation, and sanitary services.
Aside from routine maintenance, little has been done with other major building
systems, including the roof, cladding, windows /doors, overhead doors, plumbing, and
electrical/lighting systems. All of these essential systems are beyond their expected
useful life (EUL). The interior finishes are in poor condition. The building does not
meet current building code requirements with respect to fire detection and ventilation
systems.
77
Page 9 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
At the current level of capital investment, the remaining useful life (RUL) of the
building is estimated at 5 -10 years. Should the building continue to be operated
effectively, the capital requirements identified in the table below would be necessary.

* Age of systems based on available documentation. If unknown, system age estimated based on
physical condition, and other factors
As part of a planned program, if the identified items are undertaken, the remaining
useful life of the building could be extended by 30 -40 years.
The average annual cost to operate Fire Station 4 is $40,000 which includes heat,
lights, water, building maintenance, insurance and property taxes. The estimated cost
for the Fire Department to operate the entire building (after the Police Force move) is
$50,000 per annum.
If sold as part of relocation of Rescue 4 (and the vacancy of the Police Force), the City
could receive up to $450,000 in property sale revenue. The building will require
subdivision from the adjacent playground and ball field. The building portion of the
site is zoned Major Institutional (IL -2) and would require rezoning to accommodate
most commercial, light industrial or residential uses.
G. Assessment of the Transit Facility
Fire Department and Facility Management staff toured Transit Facility with the Transit
Authority Manager a number of times. The Transit Manager showed all underutilized
space within the Transit Facility which consists of three offices, an undeveloped
mezzanine (2,000 square feet + / -) and approximately 4,000 square feet of garage space.
The undeveloped mezzanine space was originally intended to be a training room.
78
Page 10 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
Based on previous estimates, the cost to develop the mezzanine, as a training room, is
about $250,000.
With respect to available garage space, the south side of the building is currently not
being used to support Transit Facility activities and is being rented to others. This
space could house the vehicles currently positioned at the Courtenay Avenue Station
(Rescue 4, the reserve tanker and the EMO Command trailer)
OPTIONS EXPLORED
City and Transit Staff, along with a local architect, reviewed many options and
modifications that would enable the utilization of the Transit Facility's underutilized space
as a fire station. A number of considerations were discounted due to extraordinary costs,
destruction of Transit Facility design efficiencies, or undue disruption to the main tenant
(Transit). Ultimately two options were assessed/considered.
Option 1 - Convert the undeveloped mezzanine into fire station living quarters and
located fire vehicles in the underutilized area within the garage:
A local architect was engaged to assess the feasibility of converting the underutilized and
undeveloped space within. the Transit Facility to accommodate the components of a Fire
Station.
Converting the undeveloped mezzanine space (originally intended to be a training room)
into fire station living quarters of the similar function as the existing stations will require a
capital cost that ranges from $850,000 to $1.5 million. The cost of renovation will be a
function of how fire separation and building code compliance is achieved. Should the
glazing along the subject undeveloped mezzanine space be replaced with a hard surface?
How is a second means of egress achieved? How will required work impact the look and
LEEDS rating of the facility? What other renovations are required elsewhere in the
building to accommodate the new use?
Putting the cost and feasibility of renovations aside, the estimated annual rent for the
undeveloped mezzanine space, garage space, common area charges and portion of
increased operating costs is $70,000. Besides impacting heat, lights, water, insurance,
property taxes and general maintenance, the fire department will require timely snow
removal from the apron (i.e. the driveway between the overhead door and the public
street). The apron length difference between Courtenay Avenue and the Transit Facility is
70 metres. Overall, this represents a $20,000 to $30,000 cost increase to the Fire
Department.
This option does present some concerns with respect to overall emergency response times,
in that the subject garage space is fairly removed from the proposed rebuilt mezzanine area
and as such will have an impact on the turnout times. With a series of existing corridors
and a large garage space to cross, it is estimated that the turnout time will be in excess of
79
Page 11 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
two minutes, which is one minute longer than the turn out time that is currently achieved at
the Courtenay Avenue location.
With Rescue 4 responding to approximately 1,500 calls per annum; adding about one
minute to all responses will eventually result in poorer outcomes for victims of accidents
and fires. Generally speaking, when turnout and travel times are combined, Rescue 4 will
require 6 minutes or more to cover the same general area it covered in 5 minutes from the
Courtenay Avenue Fire Station.
The operational impact assessment provides that the development of existing underutilized
or undeveloped space within the Transit Facility, as the support infrastructure for Rescue 4,
will create operational inefficiency (increased turnout time) for a truck and crew that
responds to over 1,500 calls per year.
The financial impact assessment provides that cost could range between $450,000 to $1
mil (net of the sale of the Courtenay Avenue property) while the yearly operational cost
will increase by $20,000 to $30,000.
Option 2 — Build an addition to the Transit Facility for living quarters and move
apparatus to the underutilized area within the garage:
The option that presents the least impact to existing operations entails an addition to the
building, on the roof area between the undeveloped mezzanine and garage, abutting the
garage. If direct access to the garage can be created, turnout times within the facility could
be improve so that they are only 15 to 20 seconds more than that at the 36 Courtenay
Avenue Facility.
Again a local architectural firm reviewed the concept but could not provide an order of
magnitude estimate due to the complexities of the proposal. Question pertaining to
whether the footings and columns were designed to support the additional load; if the slab
and in -floor heating (in the garage) were designed to sustain the weight of a Fire Truck
(significantly heavier than an empty bus); as well the ability to meet building code and fire
code issues pertaining to the living quarters portion, etc. An extremely rough estimate is
$2 million.
The estimated annual rent for the garage space, common area charges and portion of
operating costs (same as noted above) is $60,000. The estimated rent is lower under this
scenario because it is assumed City funds will be used to create the new space.
The operational impact assessment of option 2 provides that there will be minimal impact
to the operations of the fire service by virtue of moving from Courtenay Avenue to
McDonald Street. Indeed there are gains and losses in response times with respect to the
change in geographical location, and there will be some small increase in overall response
time in that building modifications of the transit facility cannot match the intended fire
station design inherent to the construction of the Courtenay Avenue Fire Station.
*
Page 12 Move Courtenay Avenue Fire Station to the Transit Facility
The financial impact assessment provides that cost could range between $1.05 rail to $1.55
mil (net of the sale of the Courtenay Avenue property) while the yearly operational cost
will increase by $10,000 to $20,000.
CONCLUDING COMMENTS: OPERTATIONAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACT
Depending upon the preferred option and ability to meet building and fire code
requirements, the relocation of Rescue 4 to the Transit Facility represents an initial
$850,000 to $2 million dollar capital outlay for the City of Saint John. There is a medium
to significant change in emergency response times across the two options that were
explored. Over the medium and long term the City will still have to budget for ongoing
facility maintenance and facility capital improvements for both the Courtenay Avenue and
McDonald Street Locations.
Putting the Fire Prevention scenario aside, operating costs for the Fire Department are
estimated to increase from $40,000 to a minimum of $60,000 annually. Any saving in
heat, lights and water will be offset by rent and common area charges paid to the Transit
Authority for the subject space.
The least cost and most efficient option of the City of Saint John is to leave Rescue 4 at its
36 Courtenay Avenue location until such time as the building requires replacement.
Again, most all numbers stated herein are estimates. No formal negotiations on rent and
common area charges have taken place. If the concept is progressed further, detailed
construction estimates and negotiated rents could look significantly different then put forth
herein.
