This report requests authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6052669, awarded under Doc2793902914, issued to EBC Bessac Canada (FSPSTT) Joint Venture, for construction of the Fairbank Silverthorn Storm Trunk Tunnel and Micro-Tunneled Storm Collectors in the Basement Flooding Protection Program Study Area 3, Assignment Number 3-03, which is bounded by Black Creek Drive, Vaughan Road, Rogers Road and Castlefield Avenue.

The requested amendment is for settlement of claims related to additional construction services.

The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $6,000,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($6,105,600 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $202,217,400 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($205,776,426 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $208,217,400 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($211,882,026 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

Approximately half of the requested amendment, $2,999,180.87 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($3,051,966.45) net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), is allocated for the settlement of claims related to additional construction services. These costs arose from unforeseen challenges, including delayed utility relocations by Bell, Rogers, and Toronto Hydro, access constraints imposed by Metrolinx, and modifications to the adit method to accelerate work and minimize community disruption.
