The General Government Committee:

1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control Bylaw), authorized the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to amend Purchase Order 6054751 issued to Atlas Constructors Inc., for the reconstruction of the Scarborough Arena Gardens by increasing the value by $1,371,983 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,396,130 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current Purchase Order value from $34,601,698 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($35,210,688 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $35,973,680 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($36,606,817 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order 6054751 issued to Atlas Constructors Inc., under the Request for Tender Document Number 3819550702 (Contractor Number 21-PFR-161) for the reconstruction of the Scarborough Arena Gardens.

The total value of the current Purchase Order Amendment being requested is $1,371,983 net of all applicable taxes and charges, revising the current Purchase Order value from $34,601,698 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($35,210,688 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $35,973,680 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($36,606,817 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

This Purchase Order Amendment is required to address various additional scope items identified near completion of construction during the inspection and commissioning phases. These include requirements arising from Technical Standards and Safety Authority and building inspections; operational needs to integrate existing site lighting with the solar energy system; refinements to building finishes to improve durability; upgrades to the refrigeration system to meet current standards; and implementation of optimized exterior drainage solutions to mitigate site-specific icing and runoff conditions and enhance public safety. The amendment also provides for compensation to the contractor for the negotiated delay claim.
