Due to the timing of the committee meeting, the results and balance sheet information cover a three-month period, from March to May. Metro Vancouver's overall returns will be further pushed down in the near term as a significant portion of the portfolio is held in short-term products and held in cash for liquidity. The period covered by the report varies depending on the time of the committee meeting.
The portfolio is currently heavily weighted in financial institutions, mainly in cash, due to the significant cash requirements of the capital program and limited short-term investment opportunities with comparable returns. Given the cash requirements of the capital program and the uncertainty in the market, Metro Vancouver's portfolio remains focused on short-term products with higher liquidity at this time.

Supply and delivery of steel pipe for the 2020 water utility construction projects for the Greater Vancouver Water District. 01 is the result of awarding the temporary item - Fleetwood Reservoir Main Supply Pipe at a cost of $1,453,136. Change orders 1 and 2 were for the supply and delivery of test heads for each project.
01 is for archaeological inspection services and assessment of deposits found during monitoring of the Phase 2 soil improvement subgrade at Northwest Langley. 02 is the result of the second phase of archaeological inspection services and screening of archaeological deposits recovered from the site identified through monitoring of the Phase 2 ground improvement subgrade at Northwest Langley. Consulting engineering services for the design and construction management of the Coquitlam Transfer Station for the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District.
As part of the approval process, the city required subdivision of the landfill to create. As a result, it was necessary to make the three properties independent by separating their civil services and to complete improvements to the United Boulevard frontage. 01 was the result of design changes necessary to complete design work that was more indicative of the scope at the time of the construction tender and for site contingencies including the removal and remediation of contaminated soil.
Waiting for information to complete the design would delay the tender by a year, resulting in increased consulting engineering costs and construction cost inflation.
