Suspension of Capital Sewer Services Inc., and Affiliated Persons
This report recommends that City Council suspend the eligibility of Capital Sewer Services Inc., ("Capital Sewer") and its affiliated persons, to bid on, or be awarded, any City of Toronto contracts for a period of five years, for contraventions of the City of Toronto's Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Performance) in Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code. Capital Sewer's affiliated persons include Capital Sewer's parent company, Capital Infrastructure Group ("CIG"), and five other of Capital Infrastructure Group's subsidiaries: Utility Force Construction Inc., Capital Utility Services Inc., CEC Mechanical Ltd., MarkerVac Inc., and Clean Water Works Inc. The Supplier Code of Conduct states that a supplier shall not over-bill, double-bill, retain a known over-payment, fail to notify the City of an over-payment or duplicate payment within a reasonable time, submit misleading information to the City, submit false or exaggerated claims to the City, or bill for goods and services not supplied. This report provides an overview of the City's investigation into Capital Sewer, summarizing the audit and investigative work completed to date, the inquiries still underway, and the rationale for recommending suspension of their eligibility to continue doing business with the City. In March 2024, the City's internal controls, as well as complaints received through the Auditor General's Fraud and Waste Hotline, first identified irregularities in change order documentation submitted by Capital Sewer. A change order is a formal, written modification to a construction contract. It is used when work needs to be added, removed, or adjusted from the original scope of the contract. Early analysis of the irregularities revealed significant discrepancies between quotations Capital Sewer provided to the City and those provided directly by subcontractors, indicating potential document alterations and overbilling. This triggered an audit process beginning in December 2024, followed by the City's engagement of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to conduct a forensic audit. While Capital Sewer has committed to restitution and claims to have strengthened internal controls, KPMG has not validated the effectiveness of these new measures, and the full extent of past misconduct is still under investigation. KPMG's forensic audit is ongoing and will also seek to determine whether further overbilling activity occurred and if additional staff were involved. The findings of overbilling and document alterations have also been reported to Toronto Police Services by Capital Sewer and the City. Based on KPMG's findings to date, KPMG has confirmed that there has been intentional overbilling of at least $1.1 million related to contract 22ECS-LU-03TT for work on the Dufferin Sanitary Trunk Sewer Systems Improvement (the "Dufferin Project"). As a result, City staff recommend the maximum allowable suspension of five years for Capital Sewer and its affiliated persons. This suspension is not punitive but necessary to protect public funds, uphold the Supplier Code of Conduct, and safeguard the integrity of the City's procurement processes. The City has exercised its rights under the contract for the Dufferin Project to recover the overbillings detected by KPMG to date and KPMG's initial audit costs to date.
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council suspend Capital Sewer and any affiliated persons', as defined in Chapter 195, eligibility to bid on or be awarded any City of Toronto contracts as a supplier of goods and / or services or as a subcontractor to such a supplier, including any options, or renewals of existing contracts, for a period of five years commencing upon the date of approval of the report (November 26, 2025) from the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, and the Chief Procurement Officer.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority for the General Manager, Fleet Services Division, to amend Blanket Contract Number 47024679, issued to Toromont Material Handling, a Division of Toromont Industries Ltd., for the supply and delivery of ride-on litter vacuums for Fleet Services Division. This amendment is required to support the City's transition out-sourced services to in-house mechanical litter removal operations, as directed by City Council at its meeting on July 23 and 24, 2025 through Item 2025.IE23.1 - Review, Analysis and Service Delivery Model Recommending for City-Wide Mechanical Litter Removal Operations. This is the first amendment to this Blanket Contract and will address the equipment needs from 2025 to 2027. Solid Waste Management Services has estimated that approximately thirty-six (36) additional ride-on litter vacuum units are required to support the transition of the City's mechanical litter removal operations in-house. Ride-on litter vacuums are purpose-built compact equipment designed to clean litter, debris, and seasonal waste from outdoor spaces that conventional street-cleaning equipment cannot access. The litter vacuums are powered by diesel or electric motors, and the electric-powered litter vacuums offer zero tailpipe emissions, lower noise levels, and enhanced operator protection due to the low-vibrational operation. The reduced fuel costs and greenhouse gas emission reductions provided by the electric litter vacuums also align with the Sustainable City of Toronto Fleets Plan (Item 2023.IE3.5 ) and wider TransformTO targets (Item 2025.IE22.9 ). The total value of the requested amendment is $7,284,443 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($7,412,649 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). Approval of this amendment will increase the total contract value from $8,385,331 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($8,532,913 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $15,669,774 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($15,945,562 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), through to the end of the contract term on November 15, 2027. The ride-on litter vacuums manufactured by Toromont Material Handling, a Division of Toromont Industries Ltd., are built in Quebec. Leveraging the existing competitively awarded contract enables the City to maintain cost certainty, reduce administrative effort, and achieve best value through established supplier relationships. This approach will ensure continued service delivery through timely vehicle and equipment replacement. It will also help advance the City's environmental and sustainability objectives through the inclusion of electric units where operationally feasible.

The purpose of this report is to advise on the results of the Negotiated Request for Proposal Doc5331229053 for the provision of general trades and minor building repairs at various City of Toronto locations and to request authority for the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to award contracts to the following top-ranked suppliers meeting the requirements outlined in the Negotiated Request for Proposal: - Sure General Contractors Inc., in the amount of $27,304,135 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($27,784,688 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). - 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.

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Blanket Contract 47025889, issued to EnergyCAP Inc., for the provision of EnergyCAP web hosting and Bill CAPture services to support the City's utility bill payment process. The total amendment being requested is $60,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($61,056 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the non-competitive contract value from $1,057,297 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,075,905 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $1,763,464 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,794,501 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). This amendment will cover utility bill processing charges through the end of 2025. A new contract with EnergyCAP Inc., for services in 2026-2030 is being procured, following Council's approval of GG24.9 - Review and Renewal of Technology Maintenance Contracts for Sustainment of City Services from 2026-2030. The EnergyCAP bill processing software is used by City staff to store, analyze, audit, and process approximately 45,000 utility invoices every year, valued at approximately $300 million per year. This includes invoices for all City Divisions as well as three agencies: Toronto Parking Authority, Toronto Transit Commission, and Toronto Public Library. The automation and system integration of EnergyCAP with the City's financial management system minimizes late payment fees, and the software is able to audit all utility expenditures for accuracy. EnergyCAP is also able to support regulatory reporting, City buildings' energy performance tracking, utility budgeting, and financial variance reporting. Bill CAPture is a module of the EnergyCAP software that uses optical character recognition to extract invoice details and upload the invoices into the EnergyCAP database. Through the upload process, the module automatically audits the invoice data for accuracy, using a series of metrics based on cost and energy consumption patterns. Bill CAPture, in conjunction with EnergyCAP, alerts staff to potential errors on utility bills and minimizes the risk of overcharges. EnergyCAP and Bill CAPture were instrumental in the City's ability to proactively identify unusual invoicing patterns that led to an avoided potential loss of $2.5 million in 2019. Details of the investigation are detailed in 2025.AU9.10 - Fraud Investigation Involving Multiple City of Toronto Electricity Accounts. Over the past several years, staff have worked to standardize and centralize the processing of utility invoices. While some invoices were previously managed through EnergyCAP, others were handled manually. Recently, all utility invoices for City Divisions and the three Agencies have been transitioned to a standardized system using EnergyCAP and Bill CAPture. Additionally, as part of the City's 5-Year Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan, developed in response to provincial regulation, the City is required to report on its total renewable energy generation. This tracking and reporting were previously managed manually by reviewing individual invoices but has now been automated by enrolling these accounts through Bill CAPture. The addition of new renewable energy generation accounts has further increased the volume of data processed through the system. As Bill CAPture use costs are calculated based on the number of invoices processed and the number of energy accounts enrolled, an amendment is required to enable the continued use of this critical software.
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1.

The purpose of this report is to request authority from City Council to extend the term of Non-Competitive Contract Number 47023371 with 2790584 Ontario Inc for ongoing catering services at two temporary shelter hotel sites and ad hoc catering services at winter respite sites from December 31, 2025 until August 31, 2026, exceeding the cumulative five (5) year threshold. A competitive procurement process is underway to identify a catering provider for these locations beyond the end of this contract. This extension is required because of the additional time needed to implement a new, cost-saving approach to catering procurement for the division and its Purchase of Service shelter operators. Toronto Shelter and Support Services has been exploring options to extend the pricing arrangements in competitively sourced blanket contracts to Purchase of Service shelter operators. Legal Services and the Purchasing and Materials Management division agree that Chapter 195-6.5 of the Toronto Municipal Code provides the necessary legal basis for this change, but additional time is required to incorporate new language into the solicitation and contract documents. By including provisions that allow Purchase of Service shelter operators to piggyback on competitively sourced blanket catering contracts, the City aims to achieve cost savings for Purchase of Service shelter operators through economies of scale, access to larger catering providers, and the ability to leverage the City's negotiating power. Since Purchase of Service shelter operations are funded through the City's Operating Budget, this initiative would result in cost savings for the City. Services in temporary shelter sites located in hotels can be terminated at no cost to the City if that site closes before the end of the contract. 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 procurement was issued under the exception related to emergency where 2790584 Ontario Inc, 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 7.1E). City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195 - 7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Toronto Shelter and Support Services to enter into the necessary amending agreement on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Chief Procurement Officer and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor to extend the term of non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47023371 with 2790584 Ontario Inc for Catering at various Toronto Shelter and Support Services locations to August 31, 2026.

This report seeks authority for the City to enter into a licence agreement with Premier Racquet Clubs Corp., (the "Licensee"), who will be responsible for operating and maintaining seasonal sports bubbles for tennis and related services (e.g. racquet stringing, equipment retail and rental, etc.) at Eglinton Flats Park. The new agreement was competitively sourced through a negotiated Request for Proposals issued on March 21, 2025. The winning proposal offers significantly improved community access, modernized amenities, and materially higher and more predictable revenue for the City. The previous licence agreement, which had been in place for more than 15 years, has expired. Under the proposed new agreement, winter tennis capacity will be significantly increased with the installation of a second seasonal sports bubble, effectively doubling the available indoor courts. The initial term of the proposed licence agreement will cover 10 operating seasons, defined as October through April each year. Pre-season construction activities are scheduled to begin in mid-2026, with the first seasonal sports bubble anticipated to be operational by Fall 2026. Both sports bubbles are expected to be in operation by the 2027 season. The agreement also includes two optional extensions of up to five operating seasons each, exercisable at the sole discretion of the City, provided the Licensee remains in good standing and is not in default under the agreement.
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to negotiate and execute a licence agreement and any ancillary agreements and documents, and to amend the agreements as required with Premier Racquet Clubs Corp., to undertake site preparation and construction starting in approximately the second quarter of 2026, and to operate and maintain seasonal sports bubbles at Eglinton Flats Park for 10 operating seasons starting on approximately September 24, 2026, with two optional renewal terms of up to five years each, exercisable at the General Manager's sole discretion, substantially on the terms and conditions set out in Attachment 1 to the revised report (December 5, 2025) from the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and the Chief Procurement Officer, and on such other terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 2.

The purpose of this report is to request an amendment to the City's existing authority with Salesforce.com Canada Corporation, a Canadian business subsidiary. This report recommends that City Council grant authority to increase the contract amount in the value of $6,751,001 net of taxes and applicable charges ($6,869,819 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) within the five (5)-year term from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030, under the same pricing, terms, and conditions of the existing agreement. Although the City received authority under the consolidated maintenance report GG24.9 in October 2025 to continue existing services, this increase is necessary to obtain additional licenses and subscriptions that will support the expanded licensing required to realize several Council-directed transformation initiatives for the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division and the Customer Experience Division, respectively. Salesforce is the City of Toronto's Enterprise Customer Relationship Management platform. It centralizes, tracks, and manages many customer interactions with the City, including by phone, email, or online portals.

This report requests an amendment to the authority established through GG24.9 (Review and Renewal of Technology Maintenance Contracts for Sustainment of City Services from 2026 - 2030), adopted by City Council in October 2025. This amendment would allow the City to execute a contract with Granicus, a Canadian business subsidiary, for licenses and professional services to transition to the latest version of the development tracking platform for Development and Growth Services Divisions. This report requests the establishment of a total ceiling authority, with no commitment to spend the full amount. The City's Integrated Business Management System is the City's core development tracking and permitting platform. Integrated Business Management System is fundamental to the City's ability to deliver on its strategic goals to deliver housing faster with a focus on affordable housing. Integrated Business Management System supports the operational needs of the Development and Growth Services Divisions, including Toronto Building, City Planning, and Development Review, and enables the City to collect and administer approximately $1.4 billion in annual revenue. Integrated Business Management System is powered by a legacy software that is at end-of-life, Amanda Version 4.4, which was first implemented in 1999. Transition to a viable, modern technology platform is critical to ensure the City is able to deliver on key Council priorities, including accelerating the development of affordable housing, and meet legislative requirements. Technology Services Division partnered with the Development and Growth Services Divisions to evaluate options, including a comprehensive, independent third-party market review and jurisdictional scan. This report recommends upgrading to the latest version of Amanda (Version 7) to ensure the Integrated Business Management System platform remains sustainable, secure, and capable of supporting the City's housing objectives and priorities. City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).

The purpose of this report is to advise Toronto City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code, Procurement, Section 195-7.5.B, of a non-competitive contract with Alberici Constructors Ltd., for the emergency roof replacement at the Humber Treatment Plant Operations and Control Centre, for a total value of $1,741,076, net of all taxes and charges ($1,771,719 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). The issuance of this non-competitive contract was a matter of extreme urgency, as during construction, demolition revealed multiple cracks and leaks in the existing roof. Immediate action was required to protect staff health and safety, ensure uninterrupted wastewater treatment operations, limit impacts to existing contract warranties and mitigate the risk of costly future repairs. 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 procurement proceeded 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.).
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council receive the report (November 24, 2025) from the General Manager, Toronto Water, and the Chief Procurement, for information.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority to execute a construction agreement with Kilmer Group and Tricon Residential (Kilmer-Tricon, the "Developer"), following a competitive procurement process completed by CreateTO in 2024. The maximum upset limit of this agreement is $40,976,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($41,697,777 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), in addition to the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1. This report also seeks to delegate authority to Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with Purchasing and Materials Management Division and Toronto Paramedic Services, to execute any necessary purchase order amendments, with a value exceeding $500,000, or more than 10 percent of the original commitment, for the construction of a new Toronto Paramedic Services Multi-Function Station (MFS 03) at 610 Bay Street. In April 2022, City Council adopted a vision for the former Toronto Coach Terminal, located at 610 Bay Street and 130 Elizabeth Street, which prioritizes the delivery of mixed-income housing (the "Residential Project") and incorporates MFS 03, public realm improvements, sustainable development, design excellence and the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed former Toronto Coach Terminal. In November 2024, through the adoption of item EX18.4, Council granted staff authority to enter into a lease and project agreement with the competitively procured tenant and Developer to construct MFS 03 alongside the mixed-income residential developments at 610 Bay Street and 130 Elizabeth Street. Under the lease and project agreement, the City, as landlord, would reimburse the Developer for the actual cost of construction. As work progressed, staff identified that additional contractual mechanisms would better support the effective oversight, administration and delivery of MFS 03. Staff determined that an industry standard design-build construction agreement (CCDC-14) between the City and Kilmer-Tricon, as the delivery agent, would provide the most suitable contractual framework for delivering this project. A construction agreement defines risk allocation between project stakeholders and improves legal compliance with the Construction Act. It also establishes mechanisms for the City to provide oversight of the project, implements a more structured and transparent process for handling changes to the project scope, and includes a structured mechanism for payments, as opposed to reimbursements made under the existing lease and project agreement. The execution of an additional construction agreement would constitute a material change from the delivery model approved by Council through item EX.18.4 and therefore requires additional Council authority. Delegated authority to make necessary purchase order amendments is required to enable the City to respond to the Developer's requests for approval, consent, or agreement to any action, document or plan related to the construction of MFS 03, where such approval would impact the critical path of the broader Residential Project. As MFS 03 will be constructed within the first two floors of the residential tower, the timeline for the Residential Project is directly dependent on the timely delivery of MFS 03. To support coordinated delivery and maintain the overall project schedule, the City must provide a written response to the Developer within seven working days of receiving a written request for approval. Any delay on the City's part may result in additional financial implications.
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council, in accordance with Section 195-8.5 of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, grants authority to Corporate Real Estate Management and Purchasing and Materials Management Division to enter into a construction contract in the form of a CCDC-14 to the Kilmer Group and Tricon Residential (Kilmer-Tricon, the "Developer") for a maximum upset amount of $40,976,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($41,697,777 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) in addition to the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (November 24, 2025) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and the Chief Procurement Officer, based on the agreed upon class B cost estimate. 2.

The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., for professional services and licenses for the City's Enterprise Talent Management System and Online Content Libraries in the amount of $4,796,753 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($4,881,176 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) for an initial period of three (3) years commencing on January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2029, with two (2) additional option year renewals. Cornerstone OnDemand, referred to internally as "ELI," is a comprehensive talent management system used to centralize and automate learning and development processes across the organization. Initially procured as a Learning Management System, Cornerstone OnDemand has evolved into the City's Enterprise Talent Management System through additional capabilities, including online performance management. A non-competitive procurement is required as a change cannot be made for economic or technical reasons without causing significant inconvenience prior to the expiration of the current contract. The current contract expires on December 31, 2026. Executing a new interim contract will ensure uninterrupted access to the Enterprise Talent Management System and associated Online Content Libraries, maintaining continuity of services for the City. This integrated technology solution: - Supports the City's learning and talent management approach - Enables data and analytics capabilities to align learning and development resources to identify employee requirements - Facilitates online enterprise and divisional learning and reporting in a central repository - And supports the learning and development needs of City employees via multiple modalities and accessible 24/7. If the recommendations in this report are not approved, the City will not have access to its enterprise talent management system, eliminating critical learning infrastructure and the ability to track and report on legislatively mandated training. This system is foundational to workforce compliance and capability across Divisions. Its discontinuation would expose the City to compliance risks, disrupt core operational functions, and compromise our ability to develop, retain, and manage talent effectively. 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 with Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. will be proceeding under the exception code related to Compatibility, 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 7.1E.).

The purpose of this report is to negotiate and enter a non-competitive contract with Grascan Construction Limited / Torbridge Construction Limited for the design and construction of repairs of select F.G. Gardiner Expressway concrete bents at Bay Street and Yonge Street. The estimated value of the non-competitive contract is $4,838,911 net of Harmonized Sales Tax, $4,924,076 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries. The proposed repair work will start immediately upon approval and be completed before the FIFA World Cup begins in June 2026. This project is urgently needed due to the severe deterioration of concrete bents at Bay Street and Yonge Street, which are in critical condition. Although the Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan does not cover the section between York to Jarvis because its deck was rehabilitated in 2013, the substructure bents in this section have not been rehabilitated since their original construction. Ongoing chipping of deteriorated concrete has mitigated falling concrete risks, but it increasingly exposes internal reinforcement to further decay, jeopardizing structural integrity. Completing these repairs now will enhance public safety in preparation for increased traffic during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The need for prompt action is also driven by the upcoming major Gardiner rehabilitation projects from Grand Magazine Street to York Street in 2027. Delaying the current repairs could cause emergency interventions during that major construction phase, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The work will involve complete concrete refacing of the damaged bents, removing the old material and installing new reinforcement and concrete. This repair method is consistent with industry and provincial standards, and would protect the bents from further deterioration for an extended period, better aligning the superstructure and substructure at this location for the next rehabilitation cycle. 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 the goods or services required as a result of a time constraint, 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 7.1P.). Pursuant to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 195-7.3 (D), Standing Committee and Council approval is required for all procurement valued up to or over $500,000, or where the term of the contract exceeds five (5) years or exceeds the projected capital funding for the project as approved by Council. Approval is also required under City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11A., as the procurement value exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority.
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1.

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with IBM Canada Ltd. (IBM), a Canadian business subsidiary, for IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Software-as-a-Service subscriptions and support in the amount of $34,300,219 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($34,903,904 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries Recoveries) commencing from January 1, 2026 for a term of two (2) years with option to extend the Contract by one (1) additional one (1) year period. The Enterprise Work Management Solution Program is modernizing the City's work management systems by replacing outdated, siloed systems with a single, unified platform using IBM Maximo technology, which provides an integrated solution that streamlines work planning, asset management, and service delivery. At the time of writing this report, over 1500 staff across six divisions are supported by the on-premises IBM Maximo technology as part of Enterprise Work Management Solution. This report supports the transition of these divisions from the on-premises, end-of-life Maximo platform to the upgraded, cloud-based solution, and rollout to Toronto Water as a net new division using the solution. Following an unsuccessful Request for Proposal in 2025 to competitively procure IBM MAS for the Enterprise Work Management Solution cloud migration and Toronto Water rollout through a third-party reseller of IBM products, the City is recommending a non-competitive procurement directly with IBM. The City has confirmed that entering into a direct agreement with IBM provides the greatest benefit and least risk for the City. Similarly, Corporate Real Estate Management needs to replace its legacy, end-of-life systems with IBM Maximo Application Suite modules, including Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, to ensure operational continuity and compliance as current systems reach end of support. This proposed non-competitive procurement also includes the software licensing and cloud environment required to enable Corporate Real Estate Management's unified real estate information platform, which was not originally included in the Request for Proposal. This will enable the City to retire end-of-life products and move toward a unified, cloud-based approach for managing critical real estate assets across the City. Adding the volume of Corporate Real Estate Management to this Non-Competitive Procurement helps the City negotiate a lower total cost of ownership and licensing allocation flexibility in addition to other commercial benefits and protections. This approach will still allow the City to access competitive pricing by avoiding reseller markup and negotiating directly with IBM for flexible licensing terms and enhanced service terms unavailable through third-party resellers. It enables the City to continue to satisfy the Enterprise Work Management Solution Program timelines and objectives, meet Toronto Water's project critical path, and satisfy Auditor General recommendations. Prior to expiry of the proposed agreement with IBM Canada Ltd., the City will reassess competitive procurement options to ensure continued value for money, operational efficiency, and alignment with evolving industry standards. 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 Section 195-7.1(F) for the Enterprise Work Management Solution cloud migration and Toronto Water rollout components and Section 195-7.1(P) for the Corporate Real Estate Management component, 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 7.1K.). City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).
The General Government Committee recommend that: 1. City Council authorize the Chief Technology Officer to negotiate and enter into an agreement with IBM Canada Ltd for the Enterprise Work Management Solution cloud migration and Toronto Water rollout components and for the Corporate Real Estate Management component, commencing from January 1, 2026 for a term of two (2) years with options to extend the Contract by one (1) additional one (1) year period in the value of $34,300,219 net of all taxes and applicable charges ($34,903,904 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), subject to terms and conditions acceptable to the Chief Technology Officer.
