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):

a. authorized an amendment to Purchase Order Number 6042663 with WSN Construction Limited as a result of Request for Proposal Number 9117-14-3049 by an additional amount of $4,825,000 excluding taxes and charges ($4,909,902 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery), increasing the current purchase order value from $70,560,142 net of all taxes and charges ($71,802,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery) to $75,385,142 net of all taxes and charges ($76,711,920 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery); and extend the Purchase Order from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021; and

b. authorized an amendment to Purchase Order Number 6041832 with GHD Limited as a result of Request for Proposal Number 9117-13-3073 by an additional amount of $200,000 excluding taxes and charges ($203,519 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery), increasing the current purchase order value from $2,300,758 net of all taxes and charges ($2,341,251 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery) to $2,500,758 net of all taxes and charges ($2,544,771 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery); and extend the Purchase Order from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

The purpose of this report is to request approval to amend Purchase Order Number 6042663 for WSN Construction Incorporated in the sum of $4,825,000 net of all taxes and charges ($4,909,902 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), including an extension of the term to December 31, 2021. Due to unanticipated delays in the commissioning of the expanded Dufferin Organics Processing Facility, a contract amendment is needed to fund the cost of processing additional tonnes of organic material under the capitally funded Design-Build Contract as opposed to the Operating Budget. The cost to process the organic material was originally budgeted against the Operating Budget following the anticipated Substantial Completion date. With the cost of organics processing being charged to Capital and not Operating, the overall net impact to Solid Waste Management Services with this contract amendment is $0. 

In addition, this report requests approval to amend Purchase Order 6041832, for GHD Limited, in the sum of $200,000 net of all taxes and charges ($203,520 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), including an extension of the term to December 31, 2023. The amendment is being requested for additional Professional Engineering Services, including contract administration, deficiency oversight including inspection, and post warranty support, for the expanded Dufferin Organics Processing Facility.
