Item - 2024.GG16.5

The General Government Committee:

1. In accordance with section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control Bylaw), authorized the amendment to Purchase Order Number 6052120 issued to Black & McDonald Limited for additional bypass pumping, project management and sub-contractor costs associated with the current delay for this project by increasing the overall value by $3,889,568 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($3,958,024 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) revising the current Purchase Order value from $9,707,509 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,878,361 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $13,597,077 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($13,836,385 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6052120 issued to Black & McDonald Limited to provide continued construction services for the Rehabilitation and Upgrade of Seven (7) Group 5 Sewage Pumping Stations (SPS) at Various Locations Throughout the City of Toronto awarded as a result of Request for Tender 273-2016.

The amendment is required due to the lack of progress by the initial contractor in undertaking the work and the process of having the construction contract assigned and assumed by a new contractor (Black & McDonald Limited), significantly delayed the project. As a result, additional bypass pumping, project management, and sub-contractor costs are associated with the delay.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $3,889,568 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($3,958,024 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $9,707,509 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,878,361 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $13,597,077 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($13,836,385 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).
