As the city filed it

The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the status of the City of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market North Redevelopment project (the "Project") and advise City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Purchasing By-law, Section 195-7.4), of a non-competitive contract with the General Contractor, The Buttcon Limited / The Atlas Joint Venture ("BA-JV"), for the non-exclusive supply of construction services both already completed and still required to attain substantial completion, occupancy, and operational readiness of the St.

Lawrence Market North Redevelopment, for a total value of $9,335,692 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries). These additional costs were primarily driven by unforeseen cost escalations from the COVID-19 pandemic, client-driven changes including the incorporation of updated workplace modernization standards, evolving information and technology requirements around the delivery of court services, security and police radio system infrastructure, and errors and omissions from the Prime Architect. In consultation with the Purchasing and Materials Management Division ("PMMD"), the non-competitive contract was issued on the basis of emergency in order to meet immediate legislated payment requirements and avoid further Project delays that would have resulted in additional Project costs. Reporting back to City Council is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, Article 7, Section 195-7.4(B) where a non-competitive contract over $500,000 is entered into on an emergency basis. This report also requests that City Council grant authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6034062 issued to Adamson Associates Architects ("AAA") for an additional amount of $40,000 net of all taxes and charges, revising the current purchase order value from $6,951,199 to $6,991,199 net of all taxes and charges ($7,114,244, net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), for ongoing contract administration services and expertise. The requested amendment will restore sufficient value to the contract to ensure that contract administration services are available for the duration of the Project. Approval of the purchase order amendment for continued contract administration services will allow construction to continue, with the Project expected to be completed and the facility ready for tenant fit-up in September 2024.
