Item - 2026.GG27.3

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, Parks and Recreation to amend Purchase Order number 6052995 issued to Aquicon Construction Company Limited for construction of the Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre, Child Care Centre and Joyce Trimmer Park Improvements project by increasing the value by $200,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($203,520 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value $83,697,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($85,170,757 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $83,897,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($85,374,277 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order 6052995 issued to Aquicon Construction Limited, under the Request for Tender Document Number 3032617265 (Contract Number 21-PFR-054) for the construction of the new Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre, Child Care Centre and Joyce Trimmer Park Improvements project.

The total value of the current Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $200,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges, revising the current Purchase Order value from $83,697,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($85,170,757 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $83,897,678 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($85,374,277 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre and Childcare project opened to the public in October 2025. Joyce Trimmer Park opened in October 2025, with Summer 2026 being the splash pad's first operating season.  

This Purchase Order Amendment is required to address splash pad drainage improvements, resolve an outstanding delay claim, and complete minor system adjustments, including updates to the audio‑visual, public address, and security systems, as well as to ensure post‑construction compliance with the Toronto Green Standards. The remaining work is limited in scope and will not impact community programming or recreation spaces.
