This project is the last of three phases for the water main rehabilitation of existing cast iron water mains within the
Scarborough District for the 1998 fiscal year. All three phases consist of approximately 16 kms of water main to be cleaned
and cement lined. The areas to be relined are located in four sections within the Scarborough District, the first being
bounded by Pharmacy Avenue easterly to Warden Avenue north of Huntingwood Drive. The second area is in the
northwest quadrant of Neilson Road and Military Trail. The next section is in the southwest quadrant of Kingston Road and
Livingston Road, and the fourth section is Wallsend Road which is located east of Manse Road and south of Coronation
Drive.
As in the past, the work is required in order to provide the residents of the City of Toronto, Scarborough District, with the
highest quality of drinking water by eliminating iron deposits from the interior walls of the water main system. Moreover,
pressure and fire flows are improved as a result of this work.

It is concluded that Contract No. 18-98 should be awarded to Fer-Pal Construction Limited for the cleaning and cement
mortar relining of existing cast iron water mains at various locations within the City of Toronto, Scarborough District.
