Amendment to Purchase Order 6049718 with Veolia Water Canada Inc., for Critical Capital Improvements and Maintenance at the Disco Organics Processing Facility

The Disco Road Organics Processing Facility facility was commissioned in 2014. Through ongoing operations, engineering assessments, and capital work planning, several major capital improvement and maintenance requirements have been identified, some of which are critical to site operations and need to be addressed immediately. A portion of the major capital and maintenance work was anticipated to be delivered in conjunction with the Council-approved Disco Road Organics Processing Facility expansion. However, given the immediate need for critical infrastructure work, staff are also accelerating some of this planned work to take place at the same time as the critical work to ensure the facility is best positioned for expansion and to minimize overall downtime. Aligning this work within one purchase order amendment will enable the timely completion of critical capital improvements and maintenance work ahead of the facility expansion. This work will extend the facility's useful life, maintain safety and performance standards, and ensure the facility continues to fulfill its intended functions. Delivering this work through the existing operator will minimize financial, operational and coordination risks on an active site, avoid delays, and supports continuity of service by maintaining a single point of accountability.
