The “art” of budget forecasting

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

Editor's Note - Weekly Quesnel City Council written by Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson.  He can be reached via email here

There’s no science to budgeting; either at the household or City level. The “hard data” we use for budgeting is always merely an estimate of what we might spend our money on and an estimate of how much each item we put in our budget will cost. And, there’s always the exigent circumstance that wasn’t fully accounted for and sometimes not even budgeted for (like a water heater failing at home, or a U.S. President who starts a global trade war).

Then there’s the issue of cost factors beyond our control; like the cost of fuel or steel, or contractor pricing increases due to labour shortages or limited expertise in a particular area.

The regularity of general budgeting for a household or a City buffers some of these unknowns simply through experience; the practice of annual budgeting builds a knowledge base that reduces the uncertainty associated with estimating costs. But, budgeting for one-time projects is an entirely different matter; one that is compounded at the City level by the long timeframes involved in going to referendum for borrowing authority.

Council is experiencing this issue with the new Public Works Facility. The first concept drawings and rough cost estimate for this project were done in 2016 in advance of the alternate approval process. The failure of this approval process triggered a full referendum in association with the 2018 municipal election, but the cost estimate presented to the public during the referendum was completed in early 2018 and was again based only on concept drawings.

Rough cost estimates are used during referendums because Council’s don’t invest in full scale design and construction drawings prior to getting voter assent to advance any major project. This saves taxpayer money should the referendum fail but adds a high degree of uncertainty to project pricing should the referendum pass – a no-win situation for Councils everywhere.

In the case of the Public Works Facility, the rough estimate presented to the public in October 2018 was just under $11 million. With voter approval to proceed with this absolutely necessary project, City staff proceeded immediately to complete the actual design and get a proposal package out for pricing in early 2019. When the proposals came in, the actual market price for the proposed Public Works Facility ranged from a low price of $15 million to a high of almost $18 million.

Only when you actually put a project out for proposals do you get firm pricing that allows you to establish a firm budget.

Council knew that the 2019/2020 market price for the project was unaffordable and directed staff to get the costs down by re-engineering the project. Staff worked with the lowest priced general contractor to refine the project and all cost saving measures were explored. Our local contracting community were of great assistance in finding cost savings.

In conjunction with the contractor process, Council’s Finance Committee dug into the City’s five-year capital plan to find areas where existing cash reserves could be used to finance the Public Works Facility. As a result of significant infrastructure investments over the past five years, the Finance Committee was able to free up $2 million from cash reserves to cover any overage in the Public Works Facility, enabling Council to establish a new budget of up to $13 million for the project.

The new cost estimate for the project based on actual market pricing and re-engineering the facility is $12.7 million and Council has established an all-in budget of $13 million to get the project finished by November 2020 (close to the original projected date).

Borrowing for the project will still be $8.5 million, as per the 2018 referendum, and the overall tax increase for the project will be as promised during that referendum and no more

Fuel Reduction Projects in North Cariboo

The BC Wildfire Service advises that it will be conducting fuel reduction projects in the Nazko and Alexandria First Nations (?Esdilagh) in the next few weeks:

Upcoming Fuel Treatment in Dairy Fields

Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:

The City of Williams Lake has begun fuel management treatments and beetle tree removal activities at a designated area of the Dairy Fields near Midnight Drive and 11^th Avenue. Up to 5.5 hectares will be treated over a period of several weeks.

Contractors will be implementing plans prepared according to professional forestry standards on behalf of the City of Williams Lake.  Supervision of the work will be provided by KDay Forestry Ltd, with funding for this project provided by the Province of British Columbia’s Community Resilience Initiative through the Union of BC Municipalities.

The purpose of the fuel management treatments is to minimize the impact of fire in the area, if one were to occur, by reducing the amount of dead timber as well as forest fuels that have built up over many years.  No fuel treatments will completely remove the risk of future fires; however, the intensity of a potential fire will be reduced and the ability to suppress it will be enhanced.  The treatments will selectively remove trees killed by bark beetles, as well as small live and dead conifer trees.

Over the course of the treatment period, we expect that the fuel cut from the area will be transported to timber processing as available or chipped and distributed in place; however, if required due to inaccessible or hazardous conditions some burning may need to take place. Considerations will always be taken for appropriate weather conditions and venting before these actions are taken.

The area designated for treatment is popular for a variety of recreational activities, therefore the area will be closed to the public during the fuel management process to ensure both the safety of the public and the contractors.

Taseko Announces 2019 Operational Guidance Achieved at Gibraltar Mine

Courtesy of Taseko Mines Ltd:

Taseko Mines Limited (TSX: TKO; NYSE American: TGB; LSE: TKO) (“Taseko” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce fourth quarter and annual production and sales from the Gibraltar Mine.

Total production for the year was 126 million pounds of copper and 2.7 million pounds of molybdenum, both slightly higher than in 2018. In the fourth quarter, production totaled 33.4 million pounds of copper and 700 thousand pounds of molybdenum, similar to the levels achieved in the prior quarter. Total sales for the year were 122 million pounds of copper and 2.8 million pounds of molybdenum. Throughput in the fourth quarter was at design capacity and grade was approximately life of mine average.

Russell Hallbauer, CEO and Director of Taseko, stated, “We are pleased to have met the annual production guidance that we provided 12 months ago. We achieved our production target for the year despite the CN Rail strike in November, which impacted Gibraltar concentrate shipments for 11 days and also forced us to adjust our mine plan to reduce production due to limited concentrate storage capacity. As a result, fourth quarter production and sales were slightly lower than plan. Concentrate inventory at year end remained similar to the previous quarter level.”

“We also issued a new form of reclamation security for Gibraltar, which resulted in $36 million of cash being released to Taseko in the fourth quarter. Looking forward, with a stronger copper price than what was averaged in 2019, combined with lower treatment and refining costs, we expect an improved operating margin to begin the new year.”

Note: Gibraltar is a Joint Venture owned by Taseko (75%) and Cariboo Copper Corp. (25%). All production and sales figures in this release are reported on a 100% basis, unless otherwise noted.

Quesnel Council Highlights - Jan 7th, 2020 mtg

Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:

New Public Works Facility – Award Tender 

Council has awarded the tender for the construction of the new Public Works Facility to Vic Van Isle Construction (VVI). VVI was the successful contractor selected after a competitive Request for Proposal. The bids for the construction varied from $15 million to $17.9 million. All of the bids received were well over the budget estimates prepared by a quantity surveyor.

Since receiving the proposals in November, the City has been working to reduce the costs for the new facility while at the same time retaining the functionality. Through a process of simplifying the building, reducing the size of various parts of the buildings and reducing the size of the ancillary buildings, the City has trimmed the estimated cost for the site and facility works to $12.7 million.

Council has determined that this project must proceed. As time goes on, it’s increasingly more difficult to maintain a safe public works facility. The combination of high construction inflation and deteriorating existing public works buildings, make it essential to proceed without further delay.

On October 20, 2018, the Public Works Facility Referendum passed with 76.20% of the voters in favour of borrowing up to $8.5 million. The long-term borrowing for this project will remain the same at $8.5 million, with the balance to come from various reserves and surplus accounts. The increased cost of the project will not result in larger tax increase for taxpayers.

The new Public Works Facility is expected to be complete in November 2020.

2020 Capital Budget

Council approved the 2020 Capital Budget with the following highlights:

• 2020 Capital Budget is estimated at $5,960,764 before capital carryforwards from 2019 and the Public Works Building.
• The new Public Works facility is the largest capital carryforward from 2019 with a budget of $13 million.
• All other 2019 capital carryforwards will be updated and added to the capital budget once the 2019 year is closed. 
• The budget is based on grants of $1.9 million for 2020 (casino, gas and other grants) with the rest of the funding coming from reserves, utility fees and taxation.

Unfunded Liabilities & Five Year Capital Plan

Below are projects currently identified that do not have a funding source at this point and are not included in the proposed five year capital plan:

$4,255,000 – Johnston Bridge 25 Year Girder Coating

$1,300,000 – Moffat Bridge Rehabilitation

$5,000,000 – Renovate/Rebuild Downtown Firehall

$TBD           – Water Treatment

BC Air Access Program – Airport Helipad Reconstruction

The goal of the BC Air Access Program (“BCAAP”) is enhancing the long-term potential of BC’s aviation sector by assisting airports with funding capital infrastructure projects that:

• Help maintain safe and reliable airport facilities; and/or
• Result in significant, incremental economic benefit
• Improve the environmental performance of the airport
• Benefits to medevac and aerial wildfire suppression

The BCAAP projects may receive funding up to 75% of eligible project costs.  The helipad is essential infrastructure that allows helicopters to land and refuel at the airport making it critical for wildfire suppression efforts.  Council approved a grant application to the BC Air Access Program for the reconstruction of the Helipad at the Quesnel Regional Airport based on estimated eligible costs of $448,650, with the remaining funding to come from the City’s 2020-2024 capital plan.

NDIT invests $192,000 into the "Charge North" Electric Vehicle Charging Station Initiative

Courtesy of the Northern Development Intiative Trust:

Northern Development Initiative Trust today announced its commitment of $192,000 towards the creation of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station network across central and northern B.C.


Branded “Charge North”, this partnership involves 23 regional districts, municipalities and First Nations and demonstrates collaboration on addressing the issue of clean energy, while supporting economic development and enhancing tourism.


Once fully developed, this network will further open up central and northern B.C. to EV drivers and improve accessibility for existing drivers, bringing more people to communities throughout the region and increasing the profile of local attractions.


The Strategic Initiatives Fund (SIF) grant from Northern Development will assist with the purchase of 47 Level 2 stations to be located in 26 local government and First Nation communities (see attached).


The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George (RDFFG) submitted the application and are working with other local governments and First Nations. 

The Community Energy Association – an independent organization that supports local governments in developing and implementing community energy and emissions plans – is managing the overall project.


Once purchased, Charge North will work towards the installation of all 47 stations.


SIF is a proposal-based program that provides grant funding for strategic projects that are large in scale, regional in impact, enhance a community or multiple communities’ ability to overcome economic challenges and will result in incremental capacity or strategic economic infrastructure within a local government or First Nation. The goal of the program is to support community-based projects that focus on long-term economic transformation and sustainability

Joel McKay- CEO of NDIT said:

“This isn’t a ‘one and done’ project. As the number of EVs increase, so does the need for charging stations and I look forward to committing more grant dollars in the future. Thank you to our partners and everyone who made this a realty – the north isn’t going to wait to go green.”

CCCTA Board announces Pilot Project to develop Tourism Value Model for Forest Service Roads

Courtesy of the Cariboo-Chilcotin-Coast Tourism Association:

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) has secured funding for a joint pilot project, in partnership with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD). The pilot will engage the tourism sector and stakeholders across the Region, resulting in the development of a tourism value model that will better inform decisions related to tourism destination development, planning and maintaining forest service roads in the region..

Acting Regional Executive Director Harold Stolar – “FLNRORD is looking forward to working with the CCCTA in determining the economic value of FSRs to tourism throughout the Cariboo Natural Resource Region.”  Tourism Association CEO, Amy Thacker noted that “The CCCTA and FLNRORD discovered that the perspective of the tourism sector was not incorporated into the current decision-making process for forest service roads.”  The ministry will use the new tourism value model to supplement their current engineering program funding policy in relation to recreational use of the region’s forest service roads.  The geographical area for this project is the Cariboo Region, incorporating the districts of Cariboo-Chilcotin (DCC), Quesnel (DQU) and 100 Mile House (DMH) while looking for input across the CCC tourism region.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association and their consultants for this project, C4 Strategies and Larose Strategy & Research, will be looking for input from the tourism sector and regional stakeholders.  The engagement plan has incorporated both initial input and follow-up across the region for the development of a value model. CCCTA will be providing more information and encouraging involvement in engagement sessions and surveys in late January.
