The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order 6051765 issued to CS&P Architects Inc, under the Request for Proposal Document Number 2538259045 to provide professional services for the design and construction of the new Davisville Aquatic Community Centre. The total value of the current Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $202,356 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($205,917 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $2,645,572 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,692,134 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $2,847,928 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,898,052 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The Davisville Aquatic Community Centre is currently under construction and anticipated to be substantially completed in the first quarter of 2027.  

This Purchase Order Amendment is required to cover additional professional services including; design adjustments to support safe and accessible pick-up / drop-off to the community recreation centre as recommended and funded by Transportation Services staff; additional site visits required to inspect shoring and tiebacks installations due to proximity of tiebacks with the Toronto District School Board school and permit requirement; new requirements for airtightness testing prior to closing the building permit, as mandated by the Toronto Green Standards; new procedures and requirements have been implemented by Parks and Recreation to strengthen asset management and equipment maintenance; additional allowances for security, networking, and audio visual equipment, reflecting lessons learned from similar projects due to evolving requirements and change in equipment since the original design; and replenishment of contingency funds.
