The General Government Committee recommend that:

Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Sanscon Construction Ltd., for the replacement of the existing 300-millimetre cast iron watermain on O'Connor Drive between Sandra Road and Bermondsey Road in the estimated amount of $5,500,000 net of all taxes and charges ($5,596,800 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).
The total estimated cost of $5,500,000 net of all taxes and charges ($5,596,800 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) will be funded by Toronto Water. A non-competitive contract is necessary to enable an accelerated replacement of the existing watermain and water services on O'Connor Drive, given that the new green infrastructure under the current Contract 20ECS-LU-03FP is planned to be constructed directly above the existing watermain. This new green infrastructure could be damaged in the event of future watermain breaks and this damage likely would not be covered by the construction contract warranty.
City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Purchasing Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment for each Supplier, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11A.
