Summary
The purpose of this report is to advise Toronto City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Purchasing By-Law, Section 195-7.4), of a non-competitive contract with 614128 Ontario Ltd. o/a Trisan Construction. Emergency general contracting and construction services were required to replace a collapsed sewer main by directional drill method within an easement located between Ridge Drive and Carstowe Road in the amount of $2,095,723 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,132,608 net of HST recoveries).
The issuance of this non-competitive construction contract to replace the failed sewer main was initiated on August 2, 2022, as a matter of extreme urgency due to risks to health and safety, private property, and the environment. The contract was successfully executed and construction of the new sewer main was completed on November 11, 2022.
This repair was deemed as an emergency by the General Manager of Toronto Water, under Chapter 195-7.1 (G) of the Municipal Code. Reporting back to City Council is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, Article 7, Section 195-7.4(B) where a non-competitive contract that exceeds $500,000 was entered into based on an emergency.
