Origin

(October 29, 2012) Report from the Acting Treasurer

Summary

City Council considered GM10.15 on February 6 and 7, 2012 and directed staff to suspend IPAC Paving Inc., Sebastian Corbo, as an individual, and any entities owned, directed or controlled by Sebastian Corbo from being awarded or granted any future City contracts until the courts had rendered a final decision regarding the charges laid against Sebastian Corbo with respect to several Criminal Code offences, and all appeals had been exhausted or until all of the charges against Sebastian Corbo had been withdrawn.

 

The purpose of this report is to inform City Council of the final decision regarding the charges against Sebastian Corbo and to recommend that the suspension continue permanently. 

 

This report also informs City Council of a reserve right clause that Purchasing and Materials Management Division will add to all of the City's future procurement call documents reserving the right to Council not to award to the lowest bidder or highest scoring proponent where making such an award would undermine the business reputation of the City or undermine the public's confidence in the integrity of the City's procurement process as a result of the City having knowledge or information of criminal or quasi-criminal activity (including, without limitation, knowledge or information in relation to existing criminal or quasi-criminal charges or convictions) regarding that bidder/proponent.
