Councillor Pasternak, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he wished to know if motions on the LRT would require a reopening.
Councillor Pasternak, rising on a Point of Order, stated that it was clear to him what was going on during questions of Councillor Matlow, and he wished the Speaker to intervene.
Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he wished to know why the Speaker had ruled motion 3c redundant as there is no reference to motion 3c in motion 3b.
Councillor DeBaeremaeker, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he believed that both motion 3a and motion 3c were out of order as the Item does not pertain to the Eglinton East LRT.
Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Order, stated that he did not believe that motions 3a and 3c were out of order, as the Speaker had not ruled motion 2 out of order and had permitted questions on the Eglinton East LRT.
Councillor Mammoliti, rising on a Point of Order, stated that unlike motions 3a and 3c, motion 2 proposed referral to the Executive Committee and was therefore in order.
Councillor Fletcher, rising on a Point of Order, stated that she did not understand what the Speaker had ruled.
Councillor Perks, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that Councillor Pasternak had stated that some Members of Council had delayed the project and asked that he give examples of the project being delayed or withdraw his remark.
Councillor Carroll, rising on a Point of Privilege requested that the Speaker review tapes of the debate, as a Councillor had insinuated that the Scarborough subway project is at ten percent design due to a politician.
Councillor Carroll, rising on a Point of Privilege stated that she does not represent downtown Toronto and that the Sheppard LRT and or subway will run through her Ward.
Councillor Wong-Tam, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that her previous comments were not directed at the Mayor.

Councillor Mammoliti, rising on a Point of Privilege, stated that Councillor Peruzza was incorrect in stating that Councillor Mammoliti had voted in favour of Transit City, as he had actually voted in favour of a study that would compare the costs associated with building a subway to the costs associated with building light rail transit on Finch Avenue.

Committee Recommendations
The Executive Committee recommends that:
1. City Council approve, as described in Attachment 2 (Scarborough Subway Extension Draft Environmental Project Report Executive Summary) to the report (February 27, 2017) from the City Manager, the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and the Deputy City Manager, Cluster B:
a. the extension of Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth Subway) from Kennedy Station to Scarborough Centre via the McCowan alignment, including the station concept and tunnel at-grade facilities, and
b. the Triton bus terminal concept.
2. City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Toronto Transit Commission, to conduct the necessary Transit Project Assessment Process for the Scarborough Subway Extension project, issue the Notice of Commencement for the Transit Project Assessment Process by the second quarter of 2017, prepare the Environmental Project Report, as described in Attachment 2 to the report (February 27, 2017) from the City Manager, the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and the Deputy City Manager, Cluster B, and submit the Environmental Project Report to the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change.
3. City Council approve the procurement model for the Scarborough Subway Extension as:
a. Design-Build-Finance, subject to successful negotiation by the City Manager and the Chief Executive Officer of the Toronto Transit Commission, in consultation with the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and the City Solicitor and Toronto Transit Commission General Counsel upon such terms as may be satisfactory to them, of an agreement with Infrastructure Ontario and the Toronto Transit Commission for project procurement support services for a scope of work as substantially set out in this Report, and at a cost not to exceed $15 million; or
b. in the event that an agreement with Infrastructure Ontario is not reached pursuant to Recommendation 3a, Design-Bid-Build, based on a single construction contract.
4. City Council direct that if an agreement is reached with Infrastructure Ontario pursuant to Recommendation 3a, the City Manager be authorized to enter into the agreement with Infrastructure Ontario and the Toronto Transit Commission on behalf of the City, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
5. City Council direct that the City Manager, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of the Toronto Transit Commission, report to Executive Committee at such time as the Scarborough Subway Extension Project has reached a Class 3 cost estimate for authority to proceed with procurement of the Scarborough Subway Extension, which report shall include an updated project budget.
6. City Council request the Province of Ontario and Government of Canada confirm the sources of funding for the provincial and federal commitments to the Scarborough Subway Extension.
7. City Council direct the City Manager, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, as part of the refinement of the Triton bus terminal concept, to:
a. incorporate a review of all possible options to design the bus terminal and adjacent developable lands in a manner that incentivizes and maximizes private sector involvement in the design, construction and financing of the bus terminal, and minimizes the cost to the taxpayer and maximizes the value to the City, such review to consider retail, residential and commercial uses of the site.
b. give consideration to a design that will accommodate alternative fuel buses, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and electric.
Decision Advice and Other Information
The Executive Committee:
1. Requested that the City Manager, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, report directly to City Council with a further detailed list and a map of the 42 permanent property requirements identified based on the McCowan alignment.

Origin
Summary
This report was prepared in collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
The Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) project first approved by City Council in late 2013 has advanced through the initial concept development and early planning phase.
In July, 2016, City Council directed staff to continue work on an express option for the Scarborough Subway Extension and to retain services to undertake a third-party review of costs and risks to date, based on Toronto Transit Commission cost estimates at less than 5 percent design.
Since July 2016, Toronto Transit Commission and City staff have undertaken further assessment on the preferred alignment for the Scarborough Subway Extension. An updated Initial Business Case (IBC) (Attachment 1) concludes that the McCowan alignment best meets both transit operations needs and encourages the development of Scarborough centre into a dynamic urban node. The Toronto Transit Commission has identified a cost for the McCowan alignment of $3.159 billion. This cost includes an at-grade bus terminal.
Through continued study, a concept for an optimal configuration of the bus terminal at the Scarborough Centre station, the "Triton bus terminal concept," has been developed by City and Toronto Transit Commission staff that will enable better pedestrian connections in the area and unlock the greatest amount of development potential around the subway station. The Triton bus terminal concept has an added cost of $187 million.
The cost for the recommended alignment and Triton bus terminal concept is $3.346 billion (Year of Expenditure (YOE) $, Class 4 Estimate). This does not include any potential costs associated with procurement and financing.
In May 2015, City Council directed City and Toronto Transit Commission staff to examine two different procurement methods for the Scarborough Subway Extension project: a design-bid-build (DBB) approach, under which the Toronto Transit Commission would complete design and tender the construction work, and a design-build-finance (DBF) approach, where a single contractor or consortium would complete the design and oversee construction of the project. This report recommends City Council approve a design-build-finance procurement approach for the Scarborough Subway Extension, subject to negotiating an agreement with Infrastructure Ontario (IO) for project procurement services at a cost not to exceed $15 million. In the event an agreement is not reached with Infrastructure Ontario for procurement services, a single-contract design-bid-build model should be pursued.
In summary, this report:
- provides an update on planning work for the Scarborough Subway Extension, and recommends an alignment along the McCowan corridor, as well as a preferred bus terminal configuration (Triton Bus Terminal Concept);
- summarizes the results of a third-party review of costs and risk assessment for the project (Attachment 5);
- outlines analysis of the design-build-finance and design-bid-build procurement options for the Scarborough Subway Extension, and recommends Council approve a DBF approach with conditions;
- seeks approval to initiate the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP), including the submission of an Environmental Project Report (EPR) to Ontario's Minister of the Environment and Climate Change; and
- recommends City Council request the province and federal governments to confirm funding for the project.
The next decision milestone for the Scarborough Subway Extension project will be to authorize procurement and construction of the project. City and Toronto Transit Commission staff will report at approximately 30 percent design with a Class 3 cost estimate in order to establish and update the project budget and schedule baseline. This is in accordance with best practices recommended in the Toronto Transit Commission Capital Program Delivery Review led by KPMG.
