The General Government Committee:  

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1. C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control), amended Blanket Contract Number 47024380 issued to Logixx Security Incorporated for the provision of contracted security services in the amount of $9,209,487 net of all taxes and charges ($9,371,574 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the overall contract value from $13,441,733 to $22,651,220 net of all taxes and charges ($23,049,882 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Blanket Contract Number 47024380 Logixx Security Incorporated for City-wide security services.

The purchase order amendment is required as a result of the consolidation of services that added sites which were not part of the original contract. Additional security services were required at immunization clinics, City parks, St. Lawrence Market, Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, respite centres, and ad-hoc coverage required on a short-term basis at various City sites. The City-wide contract target value was also increased in 2022 and 2023 by Economic Development and Culture to provide security services for planned special events located at various locations within the City. This amendment will be used to cover the forecasted security services needs and to accommodate the ongoing contracted services provided at various City facilities, without interruption. The forecasted security services are existing services already deployed and therefore no additional funding is required.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $9,209,487 net of all taxes and charges ($9,371,574 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the overall contract value from $13,441,733 to $22,651,220 net of all taxes and charges ($23,049,882 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). The City-wide contract is managed by Corporate Real Estate Management however, within the amended amount of $9,209,487 net of all taxes and charges ($9,371,574 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) being requested, Economic Development and Culture has forecasted $317,500 net of all taxes and charges ($323,088 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), to be allocated for special events where security coverage is required.
