6. Council Motion 09-G-262 (See Appendix A") adopted the Sunnidale Park Master Plan in principle
which thus determined the site location of the Sunnidale Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station.
(A copy of the Plan is provided in the Councillor's Lounge and the 4th Floor City Hall Engineering)
7. Note that further to the Sunnidale Master Plan, Council Motion 09-G-267 (See Appendix "A")
directs staff to present the final detail design drawings to Council for endorsement.
8. Council Motion 09-G-315 (See Appendix "A") directed staff to issue the Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment (EA) Notice of Completion which identified the need for a Reservoir
and Booster Pumping Station, and also confirmed that Sunnidale Park as the preferred area. The
Notice of Completion was issued July 23, 2009. In addition, staff were to report back to General
Committee with the preliminary design for endorsement. (A copy of the Class EA document is
provided in the Councillors' Lounge and the 4th Floor City Hall - Engineering).
9. A Project Milestone History is provided in Appendix "B" that summarizes the key milestones to
date.
10. Note that while outside the scope of this Staff Report, the Design and Construction Branch of the
Engineering Department is project managing several Transmission Watermain projects that are to
be constructed in conjunction with bringing the Sunnidale Park Reservoir and Booster Pumping
Station on-line that include as follows (Note that the "Proposed" components are required for the
integration of the Sunnidale Park Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station into the overall water
distribution system, however they are still subject to the current Work Planning exercise):
a) Anne Street/Letitia Street Transmission Watermain from Anne Street Booster Pumping
Station/Reservoir to Sunnidale Road (Construction completed 2009)
b) Anne - Cundles Transmission Watermain from the Anne Street Reservoir to the Bayfield
Street Elevated Water Storage Reservoir (Completed 2010)

Reservoir/Booster Pumping Station (Proposed design in 2011, Proposed construction
2012)
e) Sunnidale Road Transmission Watermain from Sunnidale Park Reservoir/Booster
Pumping Station to Cundles (Proposed design 2011, Proposed construction 2012).
11. General Committee was advised that a public Open House was to be held on June 29, 2010.
The objective of the Open House was to consult with the public regarding the Preliminary Design
Concepts, including:
a) Present architectural options
b) Present landscaping treatment
c) Present design layout
d) General follow-up on project process. The City of STAFF REPORT EN000I-11

12. The June 29, 2010 Open House was well attended, with 57 attendees. The Open House was
advertised in the local papers, included in the City Page, radio advertisements, hand-delivered
notifications to those residents that had previously expressed interest in the project, and a handdelivered notice to the residents in the general area.
13. Subsequently, the June 29, 2010 Open House presentation boards were placed on the City's
website. They can still be found on the project webpage at www.barrie.ca/Parks and Trails >
Parks > Sunnidale Park!
14. In conjunction with the June 29, 2010 Open House, those who were interested could participate
in a survey, or on line, at the above noted web address (note that the survey has since been
made inactive since the official public comment period submission date has expired). The results
of the survey will be discussed in the Analysis section of this Staff Report.
Sunniclale Park Master Plan
15. Section 4.4.1 of the Sunnidale Park Master Plan, specifically Table 1.0 Park Program, identifies
various Program Elements for each Amenity/Facility. For the Water Reservoir and Pump House
the Program Elements are shown in Appendix "C" and how they have been satisfactory
addressed in the Detail Design.
16. Section 6.2 of the Sunnidale Park Master Plan, specifically Table 2.0, identifies the
Implementation Strategy. A summary of the pertinent recommendations are included in Appendix
"C", and how they have been, or will be, satisfactorily addressed in the Detail Design.
17. As per Motion 10-G-201 (See Appendix A), on November 17, 2010 The Friends of Sunnidale
Park Consultation Group were presented an update of the project and were shown the Design
Drawings. The presentation was well received and there were no comments that would have
changed the design.
Approvals/Sign-offs
18. As part of the Preliminary Design various stakeholders were circulated information, including
Approval Agencies, Utilities and City of Barrie Departments. A summary is provided in Appendix
"D" of the Approvals/Sign-offs that will be required.
Class EA Commitments
19. Appendix "E" summarizes the Class EA commitments and associated commitments and explains
how each commitment has been addressed.
Preliminary Design
20. A Preliminary Design Report has been prepared by the Engineering consultants, Cole
Engineering, entitled Sunnidale Park Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station, Preliminary Design
Report, dated November 2010 that summarizes the criteria that the detail design will be
developed with, based on technical requirements and public input. (A copy of which is provided in
the Councillors' Lounge and the Floor City Hall - Engineering)
21. In general, the design of the Sunnidale Park Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station is comprised
of:
a)
b)
18.4 million litre underground reservoir (dimensions approximately 40 m by 20 m)
15 million litres per day - Booster Pumping
17 m) that contains pumps, standby power,
electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation
Station (dimensions approximately 9 m by
chlorination equipment, process pipework,
c) Earthworks, Restoration and Landscaping.The City of STAFF REPORT ENGOOI-Il
Page:4
January 10, 2011 edM
22. Several design drawings have been provided (See Appendix "F') in the Councillors' Lounge and
the
4th
Floor City Hall - Engineering. The design drawings are approximately at the 50% stage,
which means the remaining design is the detailing of structural reinforcement/connections, interior
electrical detailing, process piping, instrumentation, etc. It is not anticipated that there will be any
major redesigns or reworks at this stage of the design.
Architectural
23. The exterior architecture is shown in Appendix "F".
24. The internal equipment layout of the proposed pumping station has been consolidated to
minimize the above grade footprint. Below grade, there is an equivalent of two stories that are
required to accommodate the associated pipework. The Booster Pumping Station's simple
rectangular form is enhanced by the curving roof form that provides screening of roof mounted
equipment and sheltering overhangs on the north and south sides. The curved roof structure was
chosen to reduce the apparent height of the Booster Pumping Station. The proposed roofing
material is a durable, long life, prefinished metal standing seam system.
25. The Booster Pumping Station's exterior will have a natural stone masonry base, with a
combination of cementious panels and wood siding on the upper panels. The exposed structure
and soffits will have a wood finish. High level glazing will be introduced on the north façade and a
glazed section of roof will allow infiltration of natural light to the windows.
26. Exterior material colours have been selected to blend with the natural tones of the coniferous
background, including the metal roofing.
27. To reduce the building maintenance due to the potential of vandalism, the natural stone base,
which is proven tough and durable, has been used and windows have been placed high in the
structure. A balance was sought since too much stone would make the building appear bigger
and stronger instead of trying to blend into the background.
28. The interior of the building will be painted concrete block, with specialized sound absorbing
boards in the stand-by generator room, including a "Hospital Grade-plus" silencer and deep
acoustical louvres. The height of the stand-by generator exhaust stack has been nearly
eliminated by utilizing specialized equipment that will be located within the framing of the curved
roof, without increasing the building's overall height.
29. The Booster Pumping Station's overall height has been minimized as much as possible. Several
strategies were investigated but ruled out, such as: placing the taller equipment below ground
(however, more susceptible to flooding equipment damage); and using smaller equipment and
omitting equipment (however, caused Health and Safety issues if chlorine scrubber was omitted).
It was concluded that the height of the building is dependent upon the height of the chlorine
scrubber and the stand-by generator, specifically in combination with a silencer. Several
renditions and discussions with the designers have reduced the height of the roof; however, the
current height is required to accommodate the equipment. The architect proposed several
options to minimize the roof height while still maintaining functionality. To eliminate the attic
space, a flat roof could be used; however there would still be screening requirements for the
Heating and Ventilation equipment. The option of a curved roof was proposed which would
reduce the overall height that would have resulted from a peaked roof. The curved roof provides
additional architectural flexibility with overhangs, etc. The roof configuration options were
presented at the Public Open House and the results are provided in the below Analysis Section.
30. PowerStream is currently studying the power supply requirements to the Sunnidale Park Booster
Pumping Station. Preliminary indications are that a supplementary overhead power line will be
required within the existing Sunnidale Road Right-of-Way from Cundles Road to the Booster
Pumping Station site. It is anticipated that the existing poles will be replaced with taller poles but
will be in the approximate same locations. There will then be a green transformer required at the The City of STAFF REPORT ENGOOI-Il
Page: 5
B1J1E
January 10, 2011
east edge of the Sunnidale Road right of way prior to bringing the power underground to the
Booster Pumping Station Building. PowerStream has advised that due to the taller poles there
may be a need to trim the trees at the higher levels. Also, PowerStream noted there may be a
short power interruption to transfer to the new powerline in 2011. PowerStream will use their
typical notification process to advise their customers of the temporary interruption.
Landscaping
31. The landscape development (refer to architectural drawings in Appendix "F") will consist of
preserving existing vegetation where possible and replacement or new landscaping in keeping
with the Sunnidale Park Master Plan. After detail review and on consultation with the City's urban
forester, the reservoir siting was nominally adjusted to preserve the largest number of the highest
quality existing vegetation. There will also be infilling of the existing coniferous edge along
Sunnidale Road to provide additional screening. The planting work will take place in Fall 2010 or
early Spring 2011 so that the screening will be in place prior to construction.
32. One of the key recommendations in the Sunnidale Park Master Plan was to minimize the
reservoir impacts on the park. During the design development of the building and its placement
within the park, the view shed from Sunnidale Road will be maintained.
33. Prior to construction of the reservoir, existing fescue grasses and topsoil found presently within
the construction limit will be saved as "Seed Bank" material, and used in the restoration of the
reservoir footprint and areas disturbed during construction. Gentle berms and an undulating
landscape will reflect the former golf course topography and character of the park. As a result,
fencing will not be required around the structure, further integrating this infrastructure into the
natural character of the park.
34. A meandering pathway will cross the reservoir area, with small seating areas incorporating
benches, stone and ornamental grass features, which is reflective of the park arboretum site.
35. Proposed vehicle circulation routes will be minimized with existing internal park accesses utilized
where possible. Only the routes needed for daily access will have asphalt. Other routes will have
a reinforced grass type surface and/or will be made part of the trail system.
ANALYSIS
36. Feedback on the preliminary design was obtained from the June 29, 2010 Open House
questionnaires/survey; electronic survey; individual responses; and individual meetings.
37. The survey results are included in Appendix "G". In general the participants responded as follows:
a) 86% preferred the curved roofline option, over the flat roof
b) 98% agreed with the use of natural building materials
c) 96% agreed that the building should blend into the background
d) 79% agreed that the appropriate level of architecture has been included in the design
e) 83% agreed that the proposed location has kept the view shed intact
f) 96% agreed with the conceptual landscaping plan
g) 90% agreed that the information that was available was satisfactory to assist in providing
response.38. As part of the survey results, written comments from the participants are summarized in Appendix
"G". Responses by City Staff are also included as part of the aforementioned summary.
39. As Preliminary Design progressed, it was evident that there would be two main issues to be
addressed:
a) In the Sunnidale Park Master Plan the approximate area for the inground reservoir was
(90 m by 35 m) which is comparable to the current reservoir sizing (91 m by 38.5 m).
However, the functionality of the Booster Pumping Station would require a larger footprint
than what was stated in the Park Master Plan document which stated an approximate
area of 80 m2 (8 m by 10 m) whereas the current design requires 153 m2 (9 m by 17 m).
The reasons for the floor sizing are as follows:
i) It was found that since the reservoir floor level was lower than typical, that
additional floor area was required for lifting access and a staging area to lift
equipment from three floors down.
ii) It was also deemed prudent to add an emergency chlorine scrubber system due
to the proximity of the park. A scrubber has typically not been provided in the
past at other water facilities due to the minimal probability of an accidental
interior leak.
iii) An additional pump was added to increase security and robustness of the overall
water system.
The table below shows comparable City Booster Pumping Stations. It can be seen that
the proposed Preliminary design of the Sunnidale Road Booster Pumping Station has a
reasonable footprint.
WATER FACILITY AREA (FOOTPRINT)
Identified in the Sunnidale Park Master Plan -Proposed
Booster Pumping Station sizing
80 m2 (8 m by 10 m)
Proposed Preliminary Design - Sunnidale Park Booster
Pumping Station (includes chlorine scrubber)
153 m2 (9 m by 17 m)
Existing Big Bay Point Road Booster Pump Station 144 m2 (8 m by 18 m)
Existing Harvie Road Booster Pumping Station 198 m2 (11 m by 18 m)
b) The second main issue relates to the siting of the reservoir as proposed in the Sunnidale
Park Master Plan - Figure F Master Plan. When the outline for the conceptual reservoir
was overlain on a detailed tree Inventory, it was found that if the reservoir was shifted
westerly approximately 10 m and 3.5 m northerly, that the overall quantity of trees that
would be impacted was reduced. The proposed shift also saved a healthy White Pine
(500 mm diameter trunk with a 10 m canopy). The City's Urban Forester and the
Supervisor of Parks Planning have concurred that the proposed shift will be better for the
preservation of the existing vegetation. An additional benefit of shifting the reservoir is
that the ground elevation of the north-east corner will be lower by an additional estimated
300 mm. 41. The Architectural/Engineering/Landscaping Drawings and Contract Documents will be quality
checked for completeness and accuracy by City staff.
42. A comprehensive and thorough geotechnical, existing subsurface utilities and archaeological
investigations have been undertaken at key locations. Recommendations from the various
background reports have been checked to ensure they have been incorporated into the drawings.
43. Approval agencies preliminary comments have been received and their effects on the scope of
work and budget have been assessed and incorporated into the overall budget.
44. Project cost forecasting and budgeting have taken into account the possibility of unexpected
increased construction costs by establishing contingencies that reflect the project type and
corn plexity.
45. Subject to Council approval of the recommended motion, Staff will finalize the detail design
drawings. Any minor modifications to the design will be reviewed with the "Friends of Sunnidale"
consultation group and outlined via Memorandum to General Committee prior to proceeding to
tender and construction.
46. Staff will enter into agreements with specialty consultants/contractors (for example, biologist,
roofing inspection) as required, subject to budget limitations and procurement policies.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
47. The following environmental matters have been considered in the development of the
recommendation:
a) In accordance with the City's Energy Conservation Policy, the Sunnidale Park Reservoir
and Booster Pumping Station have been designed with energy conservation in mind.
Due to the unique type of building, it is challenging to implement typical LEED
(Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design) Silver measures therefore the project
will meet the intent of LEED where practical and cost effective. The City's Environmental
Officer has provided his endorsement of the preliminary design.
b) Typical construction techniques will be utilized to minimize sediment and erosion
originating from the construction site.
c) Tree protection will be in place prior to construction commencement.
ALTERNATIVES
48. The following Alternatives are available for consideration by General Committee:
Alternative #1 General Committee could choose to not endorse the design and require
the Consultant to redesign the Booster Pumping Station.
This Alternative is not recommended as the public survey results show
that the appropriate level of architecture has been utilized and the curved
roof is the preferred design.The City of STAFF REPORT ENGOOI-Il
Page: 8
January 10, 2011
Alternative #2 General Committee could choose to have the final detail design drawings
presented to Council for endorsement prior to going to tender and
construction.
This Alternative is not recommended because key design elements of
public concern have been established and are ready to be endorsed.
Any minor modifications to the design can be reviewed with the "Friends
of Sunnidale" consultation group and outlined via Memorandum to
General Committee.
FINANCIAL
49. There are no direct financial implications related to the recommendations in this report as it
relates to the endorsement of the design.
50. Construction is anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2011, subject to the approval of funding as part
of the 2011-2020 Business Plan. The construction and clean-up is anticipated to be completed in
the Spring of 2013. The draft 2011 - 2020 Business Plan shows the following construction and
engineering cash flow with funding from the water rate reserve fund and development charges:
2011 - $ 3.OM
2012 - $15.8M
2013 - $ 1.OM
2014 - $ .4M (maintenance)
The recommended design had no impact on previous budget projections ($21 .OM in 2009).
51. It is anticipated that the impact on the operating budget would be $80,000 (2010 dollars) starting
in 2013. The operating impact would include utilities, chemicals, building maintenance, staff time
and equipment.
LINKAGE TO COUNCIL STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
52. The recommendations included in this Staff Report support the following City Council's Strategic
Priorities:
E1 Attract, Retain and Expand Business for Barrie
E1 Ensure Proactive Communications with the public and increased
opportunities for Citizen Engagement
E1 Increase fiscal responsibility to ensure controlled spending and best value for
tax dollars The City of STAFF REPORT ENGOOI -11

A secondary emergency access to the Booster Pumping Station will be placed over the
proposed servicing corridor which will stretch from the Booster Pumping Station to the
