In response to a request by the Infrastructure and Environment Committee, this report presents a review of the two-year warranty used in the City for road work and the potential for extending the length of the warranty period. The City of Toronto's general conditions for construction contracts, used for road construction, are derived from the Ontario Provincial Standard Specifications (OPSS), which stipulates a two-year warranty.
