These deteriorated areas compromise the deck's load-carrying capacity and pose a risk of punch-through failures from vehicular traffic above, presenting a serious safety hazard to motorists and travelers below. Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This non-competitive procurement will be proceeding under the exception code related to Emergency where the goods or services are required as a result of an emergency which would not reasonably permit the solicitation of competitive submissions and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1.G.).
