- Tribro Group Ltd., in the amount of $23,066,378 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($23,472,346 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). - Cosar GC PM in the amount of $10,784,645 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($10,974,455 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). A total of three suppliers are required to support the seven City Divisions participating as part of this procurement. These City Divisions include Corporate Real Estate Management, serving as the lead Division, Senior Services and Long-Term Care, Toronto Fire Services, Solid Waste Management Services, Children's Services, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, and Municipal Licensing and Standards, encompassing over 1,000 buildings. Each Division is responsible for the oversight of its contracts and the performance of related work. The scope of supplier services includes general maintenance and repairs of City facilities on an as needed, ad hoc basis to restore and keep buildings in a safe and functional state. Since the City does not have internal resources or capabilities to act as a general contractor, suppliers will act as the prime contractor, coordinating and delivering all required services across multiple trades, including carpentry, masonry, electrical, flooring, painting, and others. These services will primarily apply projects requiring multiple trade coordination and / or building permits due to regulatory requirements and potential impacts. Engaging suppliers under these conditions ensures compliance with City standards, health and safety regulations, and building codes, while maintaining quality assurance and accountability. Additionally, these contracts may be utilized for emergency purposes and to accelerate small projects where timely delivery is critical to minimize service disruptions and ensure continuity of City operations. Having multiple vendors provides benefits such as operational resilience and strategic value. A multi-vendor approach reduces dependence on a single supplier, mitigating risks such as delays, shortages, or quality issues. It ensures adequate capacity to manage fluctuating demand and urgent deadlines, while maintaining competitive prices through ongoing supplier competition. Furthermore, utilising diverse vendor capabilities encourages innovation and enhanced overall quality. This strategy offers flexibility to address underperformance without renegotiation, while strengthening the City's long-term sourcing position by expanding the supplier base and reducing vendor lock-in. Each contract will be for a period of three years starting from the date of award, with an option in favor of the City to renew for one additional two-year period. The total value of all three contract awards, inclusive of a contingency and a Consumer Price Index adjustment applicable to the optional period, is $61,155,158 net of applicable taxes and charges ($62,231,488 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). This amount represents the maximum upset limit for all awarded contracts. Suppliers will be compensated based on the actual work performed.
