In accordance with Section 71-11.1.C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-Law), granted authority to amend Contract 47021093 with SUPCO Construction Ltd. for Backhoe Services with Operators for planned, unplanned and emergency work and repair activities as required by Toronto Water by an additional amount of $150,000 net of all taxes ($152,640 net of HST recoveries) revising the current value from $1,008,545 to $1,158,545 net of all taxes ($1,178,935.39 net of HST recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend an expired Contract No. 47021093 issued to SUPCO Construction Ltd. for Backhoe Services with Operators for planned, unplanned and emergency work and repair activities at various locations as required by Toronto Water in the amount of $150,000 net of all taxes and charges ($152,640 net of HST Recoveries), increasing the current contract from $1,008,545 to $1,158,545 excluding all taxes and charges. The amendment is being requested in order to bring the expired contract into compliance and no further purchases will be processed against this contract. There are no outstanding invoices to be paid to SUPCO Construction Ltd. New contracts were awarded to multiple contractors as a result of RFQ 6031-18-7163 for the period from October 1, 2018 to August 31, 2023.

As a result of the additional backhoes and operators that were required due to the disqualification of Ruffolo Contracting Ltd. and Queensway Excavating & Landscaping Ltd., Contract No. 47021093 was first amended in July 2018 in the amount of $495,000.00 net of all taxes which was approved under staff delegated authority, however the contract is currently overspent by an additional amount of $150,000 net of all taxes, revising the current value of the Contract from $1,008,545 to $1,158,545 net of all taxes.
