The Infrastructure and Environment Committee:

1. In accordance with section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control), authorized the amendment of Purchase Order Number 6048844 with M.E. Andrews and Associates Limited for Professional Services for Local and Trunk Sewer Asset Condition Assessment by an additional amount of $2,100,000 net of all taxes and charges ($2,136,960 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery), revising the current purchase order value from $48,756,014 net of all taxes and charges ($49,614,120 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery) to $50,856,014 net of all taxes and charges ($51,751,080 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery).

The purpose of this report is to request the authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6048844 issued to M.E. Andrews and Associated Limited for the Provision of Professional Services for Local and Trunk Sewer Asset Condition Assessment awarded under Request for Proposal Number 9155-18-7147.

Due to the schedule of the Owner's Engineering Technical Advisor Request for Proposal for the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Section 3 Reconstruction project, work associated with this sewer asset condition assessment project must now be accelerated and done in addition to the current option year locations.  Also, there is insufficient time to tender and award a separate sewer asset condition assessment project. Therefore, a Purchase Order amendment to Purchase Order Number 6048844 issued to M.E. Andrews and Associated Limited is required in order to add the scope of work related to the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Section 3 Reconstruction project.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $2,100,000 net of all taxes and charges ($2,136,960 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery), revising the current purchase order value from $48,756,014 net of all taxes and charges ($49,614,120 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery) to $50,856,014 net of all taxes and charges ($51,751,080 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recovery).
