Item - 2024.GG10.7

The General Government Committee:

1. Authorized the Acting General Manager, Fleet Services to amend Blanket Contract Number 47023511 with J&J Trailers Manufactures Inc., by increasing the total Blanket Contract target value by $1,935,799 net of all applicable charges ($1,969,870 net of Harmonization Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Blanket Contract value from $2,175,790 net of all taxes and charges ($2,214,084 net of Harmonization Sales Tax recoveries) to $4,111,589 net of all taxes and charges ($4,183,954 net of Harmonization Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Blanket Contract Number 47023511 issued to J&J Trailers Manufactures Inc., for the supply and delivery of various trailers of different configurations.

Fleet Services Division completed a review of the 2024 to 2025 replacement plan and concluded that there would be a funding shortfall. The additional funding will allow Fleet Services to continue supporting the procurement of trailers on behalf of Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Toronto Water, Transportation Services and Facilities Management and Real Estate to deliver public services. This amendment is to address replacement plan for 2024 to 2025, State of Goods Repair backlog, and to address increases in raw material cost.

The total value of the amendment being requested for Blanket Contract Number 47023511 is for $1,935,799 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,969,870 net of Harmonization Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the contract value from $2,175,790 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,214,084 net of Harmonization Sales Tax recoveries) to $4,111,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($4,183,954 net of Harmonization 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.
