Item - 2022.EP25.4

The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place:

1.  Concurred with the action taken by the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer in approving the award of Contract No. 22-094-29482 (RFT No. EP102-2022) to 1214592 Ontario Limited o/a Colonial Building Restoration of Scarborough, Ontario for the relocation of the Garden of Greek Gods to the Rose Garden in the amount of $581,500.00 excluding HST; this being the lowest compliant tender submission received following the public tendering of the project.

This report recommends approving a contract with 1214592 Ontario Limited o/a Colonial Building Restoration ("Colonial"); for the relocation of the Garden of Greek Gods sculptures from its current storage under the Gardiner Expressway to the Rose Garden.

The tender call was issued on May 24, 2022, through Exhibition Place Purchasing and Materials Stores via Merx Online Procurement System, and the recommendation is to award the contract to the lowest compliant bidder meeting tender requirements and specifications within the available Capital budget.

This project is both time and weather sensitive to meet stakeholders and operational requirements. The Garden of Greek Gods sculptures were removed from the fenced south courtyard of Toronto Event Centre leased premises earlier this year and are currently placed in storage.

The Chair of the Board in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer of Exhibition Place approved this contract award pursuant to the authority under the Board Financial By-law 2-18, Article X, on June 20th due to the cancellation of the July 18th Board meeting and seek concurrence of the Board.
