Item - 2025.GG24.5

The General Government Committee:

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-law), authorized the General Manager, Fleet Services to amend Blanket Contract Number 47025181 with Zamboni Company Ltd., by increasing the total contract target value by $9,444,987 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,611,219 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), thereby revising the total contract value from $6,252,004 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($6,362,039 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $15,696,991 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($15,973,258 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority for the General Manager, Fleet Services Division, to amend Blanket Contract Number 47025181 issued to Zamboni Company Ltd., for the supply and delivery of an additional fifty-three electric ice rink resurfacers. This is the first amendment to this contract, it is required to support the continued replacement of aging assets, reduce the State of Good Repair backlog, and supports the City’s transition to a Zero Emission Vehicle fleet in accordance with Council-approved Carbon Budget targets.

Zamboni Company Ltd., is a Canadian based business (as defined in the Mayor’s Economic Action Plan in Response to US Tariffs, adopted by Executive Committee on March 18, 2025), headquartered in Brantford, Ontario with a second location in Saint-Laurent, Quebec. Brantford, Ontario facility manufactures and services ice rink resurfacers.

The total value of amendment being requested is for $9,444,987 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,611,219 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), which will increase the total contract value from $6,252,004 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($6,362,039 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $15,696,991 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($15,973,258 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), to the end of the contract term on August 31, 2028.

Fleet Services Division reviewed the 2026 - 2028 replacement plan and most recent 2025 approved Carbon Budget and concluded that there will be insufficient funds in the blanket contract to reduce the aging State of Good Repair backlog and maximize the transition to Zero Emission Vehicles. The initial contract value was estimated to replace approximately thirty-seven electric ice rink resurfacers between 2023 to 2028. Due to insufficient funding at time, the original contract award did not include State of Good Repair replacement backlog. The additional funding will allow Fleet Services Division to continue to support vehicle requisitions on behalf of Parks and Recreation, and Arena Boards and reduce the State of Good Repair backlog.
