Item - 2024.GG18.10

The General Government Committee:

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control Bylaw), authoritized the amendment to Purchase Order Number 6051765 issued to CS&P Architects Inc., for the professional services for the design and construction of the new Davisville Aquatic Community Centre Net Zero Building, by increasing the value by $393,750 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($400,680 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $2,251,822 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,291,454 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $2,645,572 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,692,134 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6051765 issued to CS&P Architects Inc., under of Request for Proposal Doc2538259045 to provide all equipment, materials, labour and supervision required to complete professional services during design and construction of the Davisville Aquatic Community Centre in the amount of $393,750 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($400,680, net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). This amendment will increase the current purchase order value from $2,251,822 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,291,454 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $2,645,572 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,692,134 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

This purchase order amendment is necessary to provide additional contract administration services due to the increased complexity of the project, specifically related to implementing Net Zero, Active Roof, and other requirements. This complexity has resulted in an extended construction contract duration beyond what was originally anticipated, along with additional coordination needs with the Toronto District School Board and neighboring properties for tiebacks.
