The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend blanket contracts 47023983 issued to Tyco Integrated Fire & Security, 47023985 issued to JD Collins Fire Protection Company, 47023986 issued to Onyx Fire Protection Services Inc., 47023988 issued to Eurotech Safety Inc., and 47023987 issued to Greater Toronto Fire Protection Ltd.

The amendments are required as several fire and life safety system deficiencies were identified in several City real estate buildings through the normal course of work undertaken via the fire and life safety program and through due diligence work as new City assets are brought into use (emergency and / or temporary shelters). While the contracts are overspent, the amendments will bring the blanket contracts back into compliance and will also avoid future over expenditures in the option year term and ensure uninterrupted service.

The cumulative amendment value requested for all five contracts is $5,575,000 net of all taxes and charges ($5,673,120, net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the combined total contract value from $7,796,883 net of all taxes and charges ($7,934,108 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $13,371,883 net of all taxes and charges ($13,607,228 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries)
