Summary
This report recommends approving a contract with Black & McDonald Limited of Scarborough, Ontario, for the replacement of high voltage feeders (cables) A34T and A35T. The tender for this contract was issued on March 20, 2025, through Exhibition Place Purchasing and Materials Stores via the Bonfire Online Procurement System, with two (2) submissions received and the recommendation is to award the contract to the lowest compliant bidder meeting tender requirements and specifications within the available budget.
This project is time-sensitive in meeting stakeholders and operational requirements. The existing underground electrical infrastructure is over 70 years old and requires replacement. This project is part of a replacement program that started three years ago to address unanticipated power outages and failures caused by obsolete underground electrical infrastructure.
