This authority would allow, subject to various budget submissions and approvals and if all option years were exercised, for a purchase of six (6) aerial apparatus units over the next three (3) years. The Fire Chief is now seeking the authority to enter into an agreement with no option years for the purchase of all six (6) units. This allows Fire Services to better meet operational requirements, in addition, the required funding for the six (6) units has now been secured with a corresponding capital budget adjustment recommended for Councils consideration during the meeting of October 1, 2021 within EX26.5, Capital Variance for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021. As staff proceeded with the negotiations for this contract after council approval, additional funding was identified and is being brought forward for City Council's consideration as part of in-year budget adjustments recommended through variance reporting. Toronto Fire Services staff are requesting that the City Council decision for Item GL24.11 be amended as recommended in this Motion to reflect the change in contract terms as a result of the funding availability. The proposed revisions do not change the nature or overall cost of the contract and will support Toronto Fire Services in replacing its aging fleet faster. REQUIRES RE-OPENING: General Governing and Licensing Committee Item GL24.11 (July 14, 15 and 16 2021, City Council Meeting).
