Origin
Summary
This report recommends approving a contract with Ritestart Limited ("Ritestart") of Burlington, Ontario for the structural, IT infrastructure and electrical upgrades at the Administration Building (formerly Press Building). The tender for this contract was issued on November 28, 2025, through Exhibition Place Purchasing and Materials Stores via the Bonfire Online Procurement System, 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 as the existing IT systems are at their end of the service life and the condition of the main floor structural framing is deficient posing a potential safety concern.
