The General Government Committee:  

1. Authorized the Executor Director, Corporate Real Estate Management to amend Blanket Contract Number 47024584 with The West Egg Group Security Services Inc., by increasing the total Blanket Contract target value by $1,599,632 net of all taxes and charges ($1,627,786 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), revising the current Blanket Contract value from $5,335,086 to $6,934,718 net of all taxes and charges ($7,056,769 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Blanket Contract Number 47024584, issued to The West Egg Group Security Services Inc., for security guard services at Union Station.

The amendment is required due to the additional security requirements as a result of the increased space through the Union Station Revitalization Program, the City's commitments to meet a pre-determined level of security outlined in its agreements with the head leasee, and a multi-pronged approach to better respond to vulnerable people.

The total value of the amendment being requested is $1,599,632 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,627,786 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), revising the overall contract value from $5,335,086 to $6,934,718 net of all taxes and charges ($7,056,769 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

General Government Committee approval is required in accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-law), where the current request exceeds the allowable threshold of $500,000 net of all taxes and charges
