Amendment to the Purchase Order for the Design and Contract Administration of the New North East Scarborough Community Recreation Centre and Child Care Centre

This requested amount is required to address additional design scope and consultant fees for the implementation of Net Zero Energy Initiatives for the NE Scarborough CRC and CC Project, which aligns with the decision adopted by City Council at the November 26 and 27, 2019 meeting, through Member Motion MM12.10, with respect to Toronto's commitment to achieve Net Zero Energy and Emissions for new buildings currently in design development. The scope of work in the original RFP call did not include Net-Zero requirements as it predated the Council decision on Net-Zero implementation. The design costs for achieving Net-Zero, for the already in progress design, were not included in the recently approved purchase order amendment before the June 2020 meeting of the General Government and Licensing Committee, as the work and the costs had yet to be finalized pending review of the completed Net Zero Energy and Emissions Feasibility Study.
