Origin
Summary
This report is to request authority from the General Government Committee to amend Non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47024284 issued to Canadian Red Cross Society for the provision of emergency services, including emergency lodging; staff and volunteers to conduct initial contact, assessment and service delivery; and subcontractor costs for security.
The Canadian Red Cross provides shelter services at a Toronto hotel site near the airport (hereafter referred to as “site”) for Ukrainian arrivals needing emergency shelter. The site currently has a block of 70 rooms. As of June 16, 2023 there are 181 individuals from 68 households at the Toronto hotel site.
On April 25, 2022, the City of Toronto issued an Emergency Non-Competitive Blanket Contract 47024284 (NCPR #WS3559160342) to Canadian Red Cross Society for these services in the amount of $5,137,629 net of Harmonized Sales Tax for the period ending June 30, 2022. This contract was then amended to extend the term to December 31, 2022. To continue to support the Ukraine response, SSHA needs to amend and extend the non-competitive blanket contract to December 31, 2023. SSHA will review the program in third quarter and fourth quarter of 2023, including options for a competitive process moving forward.
The total value of the Non-Competitive Blanket Contract amendment being requested is $10,000,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($10,176,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the contract value from $5,137,629 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($5,228,051 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries) to $15,137,629 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($15,404,051 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) and extending the term to December 31, 2023.
