Preparation of Shore Protection Materials
Dear Sirs:
No. 13 S 612157, we
With reference to your Purchase Order
are pleasedto submit our study of "Preparation of Shore Protection
Materials for Future Off shore .” Islands
Our study contains detailsof cost and procedure for the

preparation ofquarriesrock rip rap and
manufactured concrete modules
i King Pt. area of the Yukon Territory. It should be noted that the
estimates have been prepared as if thequarry operation were carried out
independent of the concrete operation. Significant savings in the costs
of site services, facilities, and overhead could materialize to the Owner
if both operations were carried out concurrently. Further savings could
berealized depending on the type of contractual arrangement entered into
for performance of the work.
We would be pleased to discuss details

of this study at
your convenience.
Yours very truly,
R. Hall,
Vice-president and
Division Manager.

A quarry location atMt. Sedgwick was specified. This location

is 40 miles from the-King Point dock area and is composed of granite
rock with adjacent limestone.
A satellite camp and shop will be set up at Mt. Sedgwick in th

winter of 1975-76. Fuel and supplies sufficient to complete one year’s
operation willbe hauled in each winter. Personnel will be airlifted
to and from the satellite camp from King Point. Pioneering and drill
2 crawlair CM/ECM 350 drills each with a 1050 cfm
ing is done with
compressor. It is estimated that a solid volume of
603,000 cu. yd.
A powder factor 0.65 lbs/
will be shot to produce the required product.
CU. yd. is estimated using a combination of Powerfrac
75 and Hydromex
M-210 on 35
a ft. bench.
The rock processing plant is set up on a permanent location

downhill from the quarry. 35 Ton capacity witha
Rock haul trucks of
6 cu. yd. loader will haul shotrock from quarry to the processing
plant.
The plant itself is a series4 vibrating

of grizzlies proces-
sing 310 Tons/hr.
The quarrying and processing of rock is scheduledas a summer

operation over the months of July and August
of each year.
Hauling of processed rock to the dock and stockpiling

is
scheduled as a winter operation to obviate the cost of access road
construction. Winter haul will run from December
to April of each season.
A fleet of 50 Ton sleds is used.The uncertain snow conditions

in the9 mile first leg of the haul,
i.e. out of the valley, requires
the use of Cat D7 tractors. Thereafter6 large, transport vehicles
(Husky 8) pulling 3 - 50 Ton sleds each will complete
the remaining
/-
31 mile l e g over open tundra.

An equal quantityof rock is processed and hauled to stock-

pile each year to provide optimum use

Processed rock will be stockpiled 14

the immediate proximityof the dock. (see drawing No. IOD-4-3902 for
stockpile location). A 10 cu. yd. front end loader will load from
stockpiles to scows during the summer working season.
Sufficient support and spare equipment has been included to

maintain the necessary production.

The choiceof the plant for the construction
vas based on:
1). Ease of construction.

2). Minimum of winter work.
3). High cost of fuel.
4). Concrete quantities as shown above.
The concrete operation is scheduled for mobilization1975,

production of modules in1976-1980, with completionof loading out and
demobilization in 1981.
A simple procedureof natural curing is adopted, based on a

yearly 5 month summer schedule, May

itself is winterized and facilities are included for ‘heating
of
aggregates. Batch plant capacity is designed for a production rate
of 33 cu. yds/hr.

a) Labour rates covering wages, working conditions and

1974 season. A
fringe benefits are for the current
4.
copy of these rates is included here in Section
b) Supply items and permanent material costs are based

1974.
on prices in effect October
c) Escalation of costs is not included in the estimates.

This is discussed further in this section.
d) Estimates of cost include normal contractor mark-up

and contingencies.
2. Camp facilities and board costs have been estimated

$ 2 5 .at
00
per man day.
3. Imperial Oil Limited will supply free of charge:
a) FuelOil.
b) Air transportation to and from Edmonton.
c) Government Permits for land use and quarrying fees.
d) Land-line type telephone system at three locations.
e) Helicopter and aircraft service from Bar-C and Inuvik
to the project.
f) Service Boat from Inuvik.

SECTION 6. CONTRACT ARRANGEMENTS
Many different types of contractual arrangements can be used

o r construction/management services
in the procurement of construction
for large-scale projects. Northern Construction Company has performed
successfully in the past under many different types.
For the project described in this study a target type

reimbursable contract is suggested. This type of contract is
discussed below:
TARGET TYPE REIMBURSABLE CONTRACT
This type of contract has been devised for situations in

which a firm bid cannot be made in advance of performance, but in
which it is desired to give greater profit motivation to the con-
tractor than exists in other cost-type contracts.
In this type of contract the owner and contractor at the out

negotiate an estimated target cost estimate, a target fee, (a minimum
and a maximum fee), and a fee adjustment formula. Actual costs of
performing the work are reimbursable. After performance of the
contract the fee payable to the contractor is determined in accordance
with the formula. The formula might typically provide that the
25 percent of the actual cost over-runs
contractor would be penalized
above the target estimate and rewarded 25bypercent of the under-runs
- in both cases, subject to the previous agreed minimum and maximum
Such a contract can also have separate incentive provisions for early
completion.
The principal advantage of this type of contract isit that

permits work to commence early on projects for which the scope and
conditions cannotbe sufficiently defined to permit establishing
firm price tenders.
6 - 2
.
The "Target Estimate" contract fosters close communication

and cooperation between the owner and the contractor. Both parties
are attempting to accomplish the same ends, i.e. lowest possible
cost within an established time frame.
There still remains, however, a significant incentive

on the
part of the contractor to perform the work as economically as possible.
The contingencies which must be borne by the contractor under firm
price tenders are significantly reduced when establishing the Target
Estimate.
Northern Construction has performed several multi-million

It is o u r
dollar projects on Target Estimate type contracts.
experience that contractsof this type have worked to the mutual
advantage of both parties and have eliminated to a great extent
many of the problems of contract administration inherent in other
contractual arrangements.
It is suggested that a Target Estimate type of contract be

considered for the performance of the work contemplated
in this study.

Dear Dr. Ruel:
With reference to
our recent discussions concerning
Imperial's proposal for a harbour near King
Point and the rock
I hope that the following infor-
quarry at Mount Sedgewick,
mation may assist you in further evaluating our proposal.
The need for slope protection material is based on
the assumptions that the development of our Adgo discovery will
require up to four permanent artificial islands and that future,
discoveries in water depths up ofto 40 feet will also be
developed on artificial islands. The type, size and quantity
of slope protection material needed for these islands has been
calculated by our consultants, Hydronamic B . V . , on the basis of
a hypothetical program of exploration and development in the
Beaufort Sea. The timing of the requirements is based on our
assumption that Canada will urgently require additional oil
production by1 9 8 3 and that part of this production will origi-
nate from Adgo and from additional discoveries that may be
expected in the next few years as a result of our continued
exploration program in the Beaufort Sea.
Working back fromthe "On Production" yearof 1 9 8 3 ,
we believe that orderly and economical development
of the Adgo
pool will require that rip rap with weights5 0fromto 3,000 lbs
be available not later than1977. By that timewe will require
some permanent wells for full-scale production tests and the
islands on which these wells are located will also have to be
permanent. In the attached time schedule, we have attempted to
provide you with a logical chain of events and the timing that
is necessaryto reach our objective of havingrip rap available
by 1977.
