Request for Additional Funds for Contracting Services: 2017 Electrical Switchboard Upgrade at 75 Holly Street (Car Park 29) and 2 Church Street (Car Park 43)

(Beckett) in the amount of $363,500.00, plus $16,500 in contingency, resulting in a total approved amount of $380,000, excluding Harmonized Sales Tax. Work at these car parks commenced on July 2, 2019. Following findings during construction by Beckett, Toronto Parking Authority was provided with change orders for unforeseen changes that occurred during the course of the project. In addition to the unforeseen changes, Toronto Parking Authority agreed reimburse Toronto Community Housing Corporation for a generator rental to fully backup their building units due to the duration of the second power shutdown. Quotes for the unforeseen changes and the generator were reviewed by Toronto Parking Authority's consultant for the project, AECOM Canada Ltd., who verified that the quotes received were reasonable for the additional scope of work required. These additional costs, net of the existing contingency, amounted to $125,867.54. This cost plus a contingency of $58,632.46 will amount to a new contract upset limit of $564,500 net of all taxes for the work. Under Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 5-10: Delegation of Authority, changes to a contract that exceed 20 percent of the original contract value require the authority of Toronto Parking Authority Board of Directors. Authority to amend the contract is therefore being requested.
