    Brittany LeeNews intern

    Imagine your Saxe Point waterfront home or your funky Fernwood dwelling as the set for a murder mystery movie.

    That dream could become a reality for prop-

    erty owners in Victoria, Esquimalt and around the Capital Region who want to register their home or business for use as a TV or film loca-tion.

    Patricia Walter, who owns Gibson House, has rented out her heritage home to a few productions in the past. They include the 2004 made-for-TV movie I Want to Marry Ryan Banks, which starred Jason Priestley, Emma Caulfield and Bradley Cooper.

    Its fun seeing your home transformed, and its particularly delightful seeing it in the movie, Walter said.

    The Vancouver Island South Film and Media Commission is hosting a seminar tomorrow

    (March 22) at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre on how to put forward your property for use in a film.

    Film commissioner Kathleen Gilbert invites anyone with a unique home or business to attend and learn about the process of getting your property registered, including what to expect when location scouts visit your home, the process of having film crews on set, to the final wrap of production.

    This really is an educational seminar, she said.

    Sharing your experience and expertise on how best to manage the deer population in the Capital Region is as easy as applying to join a new volunteer citizens advisory group.

    The Capital Regional District needs 11 members of the public to help develop a regional deer management strategy and action plan to address conflicts between humans and coast black-tailed deer and Columbian black-tailed deer in the region. Based on feedback the CRD has received from residents, most of the conflicts are happening in Victoria, Oak Bay and Saanich.

    Were not agricultural, but we have a very large deer population here now and growing quickly in Oak Bay, said Oak Bay Coun. Kevin Murdoch, who sits on the districts new environmental advisory committee.

    The CRD published data in 2010 that revealed an estimated 85,000 black-tailed deer reside on the Island, including 25,000 to 45,000 in urban areas.

    The CRD board directed staff last November to flesh out the terms of reference for the creation of a deer management plan.

    The deer team will explore possible short- and long-term strategies, such as fertility controls, that can manage ungulate population levels. The hope is these strategies can address loss of commercial crops and public health and safety issues, such as collisions between vehicles and deer.

    Deer aggression, disease transmission and encroachment on residential properties and the resulting vegetation loss will also be examined.

    Its important to get feedback from a broad spectrum, Murdoch said.

    One of the advantages of using a community group model like that is you get a wide range of opinions that allows you to capture the concerns and issues.

    A supporting team of experts is being assembled to provide the group with technical and scientific insight.

    The advisory group will likely work until July. Their final recommendations will be submitted to the CRDs Planning, Transportation and Protective Services committee before the report goes before the CRD board for consideration.

    Volunteers will include an appointed chairperson, five representatives from Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and Saanich, four from the Peninsula and two West Shore residents. Three will be commercial farmers.

    To apply or learn more, go online to www.crd.bc.ca/deermanagement or email [email protected].

    CRD seeking members for deer committee In last Fridays News (March 16), we wrote

    about the rising costs of the Johnson Street Bridge.

    However, the story incorrectly discussed the projects contingency fund.

    In 2010, engineering firm MMM Group estimated the project would cost $77 million. That number included a 15-per-cent contingency to cover unforeseen cost escalation.

    That contingency didnt apply to the entire project, but only to construction costs, pegged at $63.7 million. There was no room for other types of unforeseen or rising costs built into the estimate.

    Stantec Consulting was then hired to peer review this estimate. The review only applied to the bridge construction estimate.

    Last week, MMM Group announced a 21-per-cent jump in the projects estimated cost, now pegged at $92.8 million.

    Most of the increases are related to the construction site: moving a Telus wiring duct, surveying the harbour floor, remediating contaminated land and archeological monitoring.

    These issues are not included under the umbrella of bridge construction.

    The actual construction estimate has risen only five per cent, and is well within the 15-per-cent contingency stipulated by MMM Group and Stantec.

    We apologize for any confusion caused by the error.

    Council grappled with ideas to save money on the new Johnson Street Bridge. A majority voted to stick with the iconic design and swallow the higher price.

    $92.8-million cost approved, with provisos

    Roszan HolmenNews staff

    After city council gave its blessing to the $15.8-million price hike for the new Johnson Street Bridge, staff wasted no time starting the search for a general contractor to get the work done.

    On Friday, it posted a call-out to companies interested in being shortlisted for the job, including demolition of the remaining bridge and con-struction of the new one.

    The day before, city council grappled with the new $92.8-million project estimate, up from a previous estimate of $77 million.

    While some couldnt accept the higher price, a majority conceded to the escalation, hoping that a competitive procurement model will bring down costs. Council rejected two options for proceeding that promised possible sav-ings, but left architectural fea-tures and even amenities such as bike paths at the discretion of the future contractor.

    When I came into the office today, my position was $77 mil-

    lion and not a penny more, said Coun. Marianne Alto, at the public meeting. I still have to say theres a part of my head and my heart that doesnt believe that we cant build a bridge that has these (ame-nities) for $77 million. I think theres a lot of peo-ple in the city who believe the same thing.

    The importance of staying on course to keep on schedule, however, helped to sway her vote.

    At the recommen-dation of the citys project director, Mike Lai, council approved whats called a design-assist delivery model.

    That means the general con-tractor, to be hired in Octo-ber, will build the bridge as designed by the projects over-seer, MMM Group. Council insisted, however, on flexibil-ity to allow the contractor to make alterations to the design as approved by the city to save money.

    Hiring the best engineering company for the job will be a two-step process.

    First, the city will select three proponents from those that apply to their Request for Qualifications, posted online last Friday. Second, the

    selected teams will be invited to submit proposals.

    The proponents will have confidential discussions with the city, with the view to explore design optimization from their perspective as builders, said John Haythorne, a Vancouver

    lawyer with expertise in negotiating infra-structure and con-struction contracts.

    Finally, the city will sign a fixed-price con-tract with the winning proponent.

    Sasha Angus of the Greater Victo-ria Development Agency expressed confidence in the

    process.Were encouraged that

    council has moved forward, he said. We think competition is the appropriate way to go. Were encouraged theyre having multiple vendors take a stab at it.

    Councillors Geoff Young, Lisa Helps and Ben Isitt voted against adjusting the bridge project charter to reflect the new cost estimate.

    I cant support enlarging the budget, Isitt said. I think the time to make the design change is now.

    Coun. Shellie Gudgeon was absent from the meeting.
