Item - 2019.GL8.10

The General Government and Licensing Committee:

1.  In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-law), granted authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6045978 issued to Phoenix Restoration Inc. to complete the additional work related to the unforeseen conditions of the restoration of the perimeter wall at Casa Loma by an additional amount of $350,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($356,160 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $2,660,900 to $3,010,900 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($3,063,892 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), as per the original terms and conditions set out in Tender Number 234-2017.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6045978 to Phoenix Restoration Inc. as a result of Tender Number 234-2017 for the restoration of the perimeter wall at Casa Loma. The total Purchase Order Amendment being requested is for an additional amount of $350,000 net of applicable taxes and charges ($356,160 net of HST recoveries).

This recommended amendment is to include additional scope to deal with unforeseen conditions and safety issues. For example, the foundations of the perimeter wall at the stables required extensive repairs and rebuilding and the balcony on the south terrace of the main castle required complete dismantling and the installation of a temporary wall.
