Purchase Order No. 6041005 issued to Colliers Project Leaders Inc. (formerly MHPM Project Managers Inc.) for the provision of Project Management Services by an additional amount of $50,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($50,880 net of HST recoveries) revising the contract value from $1,693,010 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,722,807 net of HST recoveries) to $1,743,010 net of all taxes ($1,773,687 net of HST recoveries).  The amendment is required to pay for project management services for another four (4) additional months as a result of the prolonged effect of the summer 2019 labour disruption on site and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which delayed the construction schedule.

Purchase Order No. 6045340 issued to Atlas Corporation/Buttcon Ltd. Joint Venture, for the provision of construction services by an additional amount of $350,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($356,160 net of HST recoveries) revising the contract value from $67,178,713 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($68,361,058 net of HST recoveries) to $67,528,713 net of all taxes ($68,717,218 net of HST recoveries). The amendment is required to increase the construction contingency due to additional security work, Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) environmental requirements, an upgraded garage door and additional Building Inspector Building Code required items (e.g. exit signs, etc.).  Construction is approximately 96 percenet complete.  Trades are requesting assurances from the General Contractor that the City has approved additional work required for substantial performance and the release of the holdback.
