The Infrastructure and Environment Committee:

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1.C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-Law), authorized an amendment to Purchase Order Number 6047050 with AECOM Canada Limited for the provision of professional services associated with contract administration and site inspection for the construction of the King-Liberty Pedestrian / Cyclist Bridge in the amount of $256,815 net of all taxes and charges ($261,335 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current purchase order value from $882,481 net of all taxes and charges ($898,013 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $1,139,296 net of all taxes and charges ($1,159,348 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6047050 with AECOM Canada Limited for professional services associated with contract administration and site inspection services for the construction of King-Liberty Pedestrian/Cyclist Bridge over the Metrolinx Rail Corridor. This amendment is being requested due to project delays caused by COVID-19 impacts, the Metrolinx permitting process, and complex elevator construction issues, which has resulted in the need for 39 additional weeks of contract administration services for the successful completion of the project.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $256, 815 net of all taxes and charges ($261,335 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current purchase order value from $882,481 net of all taxes and charges ($898,013 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $1,139,296 net of all taxes and charges ($1,159,348 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).
