Summary of Shaw’s Total Contribution
Towards Beautification Project
This portion of work will be done utilizing a common
underground trench shared by Hydro, Shaw & TELUS
Mainline Public Infrastructure (off-site, along main Roads)
Sharing underground common trenching cost:
Civil cont.cost of installing Shaw’s U/ground
structures:$50 per meter, 1635m =$81,750
Shaw’s cost of supplying all underground materials:
$25,000.00

TELUS Project Comments
Contractor Cost:

1) We expect savings when BC Hydro/TELUS/Shaw
conduit is placed by the same contractor at the same
the same tender.

2) Does not include the cost to punch a pipe under the
railway since cost savings are possible when utilities
jointly.
are placed
3) When the public portion of the job is tendered, an
optional separate cost can be requested from the
contractor for the private property portion. Due to the
efficiencies of scale in doing the 62 lots at the same
time as the
public portion, we expect the cost to be
lower than
each homeowner arranging for their own
contractor.
