The General Government Committee:

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control), amended Purchase Order number 6052995 issued to Aquicon Construction Company Limited for construction of the New Net Zero North East Scarborough Community Recreation Centre and Child Care Centre and Joyce Trimmer Park Improvements project by increasing the value by $3,691,278 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($3,756,244 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $78,506,400 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($79,888,113 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $82,197,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($83,644,357 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). 

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order number 6052995 issued to Aquicon Construction Company Limited., as a result of a Request for Tender Document Number 3032617265 (Contract Number 21-PFR-054) for the supply of labour, material, equipment and supervision necessary to complete construction of the new Net Zero North East Scarborough Community Recreation and Child Care Centre and Joyce Trimmer Park Improvements.

This purchase order amendment is requested to address unforeseen site conditions as a result of the presence of contaminated soil, which was not previously identified during the pre-engineering geotechnical testing scope of work. Additional funds are required to address these conditions.

The total value of the Purchase Order amendment being requested is $3,691,278 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($3,756,244 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $78,506,400 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($79,888,113 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $82,197,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($83,644,357 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries)
