The total value of the Blanket Contract Amendment being requested is $2,000,000 net of all taxes and charges ($2,035,200 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to a total amount of $4,971,083 net of all taxes and charges ($5,058,574 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current blanket contract value from $2,971,083 net of all taxes and charges ($3,023,374 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $4,971,083 net of all taxes and charges ($5,058,574 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

GG3.5adopted
The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6053935 with Green Infrastructure Partner Incorporated (formerly known as Green For Life Infrastructure Group Incorporated) for enhanced road rehabilitation work on Heathrow Drive and Calvington Drive. Construction of the Basement Flooding Protection Program Phase 4, which includes storm and sanitary sewer improvements, watermain replacements and road resurfacing on various streets in Wards 6 and 7, began in 2020, with an expected completion date of October 2023. As work progressed, it was brought to the City's attention that sections of Heathrow Drive (from 60 metres west of Chesham Drive to Jane Street) and Calvington Drive (from Dalsby Road to Lexfield Avenue) were in poor condition. This matter was investigated by staff and a further technical assessment was completed. Ultimately, it was determined that enhanced road rehabilitation, beyond the base scope of local road resurfacing, is required. The enhanced road rehabilitation will include replacing old asphalt layers with new asphalt layers and repairs of any damaged granular sub-base soft spots, as necessary, on sections of Heathrow Drive and Calvington Drive. Completing an enhanced road rehabilitation will extend the service life of the road and result in cost saving due to reduced maintenance. Working with AECOM, who is the City's design and contract administration consultant on this project, a construction cost of $600,000 was estimated as the upset limit for the additional work. As such, a Purchase Order Amendment for an upset limit in the amount of $600,000, net of all taxes and charges ($610,560 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) is being requested, revising the current Purchase Order value from $24,832,823 net of all taxes and charges ($25,269,880 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $25,432,823 net of all taxes and charges ($25,880,440 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). This amendment is necessary in order to complete the additional scope of work.
The General Government Committee: 1. Granted authority to the Interim Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services to amend the agreement with Green Infrastructure Partner Incorporated for the provision of Enhanced Road Rehabilitation on Heathrow and Calvington Drive and, as a result by amending Purchase Order Number 6053935 by increasing the value of the Purchase Order in the amount of $600,000 excluding all taxes, revising the contract value from $24,832,823 (excluding Harmonized Sales Tax) to $25,432,823 (excluding Harmonized Sales Tax). 2. Granted authority to the Interim Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services to further negotiate the necessary amendment to the contracts with Green Infrastructure Partner Incorporated for additional scope of restoration on Heathrow and Calvington Drive, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements and on terms, conditions and cost satisfactory to the Interim Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, and as a result to be able to amend the Purchase Order Number 6053935, as may be necessary from time to time, all in accordance with the condition of contract 19ECS-LU-01FP.

The purpose of this report is to advise Toronto City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Purchasing By-Law, Section 195-7.4), of a non-competitive contract with Grascan Construction Limited/Torbridge Construction Limited, to procure construction services to repair deteriorated F.G. Gardiner Expressway concrete bents from Cherry Street to the Don Valley Parkway, for a total value of $3,678,065 excluding Harmonized Sales Tax ($3,742,799 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). The issuance of this non-competitive construction contract was as a matter of extreme urgency, as the condition of the concrete bents was significantly deteriorated, and repairs are required to maintain public safety and mitigate further damages. This repair was deemed an emergency by the former Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, under Chapter 195-7.1 (G) of the Municipal Code. 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 exceeds $500,000.
The General Government Committee recommends that: 1. City Council request the Interim Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the Chief Procurement Officer to consult with industry stakeholders including the Heavy Construction Association of Toronto (HCAT) on how to reduce the instances of emergency non-competitive procurement for maintenance and repair to large city assets such as the FG Gardiner Expressway, and how to better maximize value for money and competitive procurement opportunities, and to report back to the General Government Committee should policy changes be required.

The General Government Committee recommends that: 1. City Council pass a By-law pursuant to Section 252 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, providing authority to: a. enter into a Municipal Capital Facility Agreement with Ridgevest Development Limited (the "Landlord"), which leases approximately 1,880 square feet of space at 800 Lansdowne Avenue, Suite 101 (the "Leased Premises") to the City of Toronto and subleased to South Asian Women's Centre (the "Subtenant"), used for social and health services; and b. exempt the Leased Premises from taxation for municipal and school purposes, with the tax exemption being effective from the latest of: (1) the commencement date of the lease, (2) the date the Municipal Capital Facility Agreement is entered into, and (3) the date the Tax Exemption by-law is enacted. 2.

The purpose of this report is to increase the existing retainer amount with the law firm of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP and extend the time required for completion of the work, currently anticipated to be the end of 2025. The amendment is required to fulfil the City of Toronto's ongoing efforts to merge the City-sponsored legacy pension plans into the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System. It is anticipated that a Purchase Order Amendment requesting an additional $50,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($50,880 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) from $1,275,000 to $1,325,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges sought in this report will allow for all matters ancillary to the merger to be completed, along with the transition for the Police Retirement Compensation Arrangement. Subject to any further unforeseen delays, the majority of the work is projected to be completed by December 31, 2023, with an additional requirement for a final legal review likely in 2024 or 2025 with respect to the final transfer of tax funds. Osler's longstanding involvement in this multi-year process and their effective guidance on the numerous unanticipated complexities arising over time, suggests that it would not be prudent and would cause delay and additional cost to the City to go to market to retain a new firm which would not have the history and familiarity with this nearly completed matter, for this very limited role which draws on their expertise and current involvement with the Retirement Compensation Arrangement and other issues.
The General Government Committee: 1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Finance Control) authorized the City Solicitor to amend the retainer with Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP on Purchase Order Number 6035311, by increasing the value by $50,000 from $1,275,000 to $1,325,000, net of all applicable taxes and charges, and extending the validity end date to December 31, 2025.

This report outlines the impacts of service hour changes at City Hall, Metro Hall and Civic Centers, and reviews if there are any service impacts to essential and emergency service locations, as directed by City Council during the March 2023 City Council meeting: a. Immediately pause any reduction in service levels at City Hall, Metro Hall and all Civic Centers in order to review: i. the impact of a reduction in services and public access on Toronto Community Housing Corporation's requirements for building standards and operational requirements at Metro Hall; ii. general health and safety requirements for city staff and the public; and iii. the impact of bundling work orders on wait times for important services. b. Review if there are any service impacts to essential and emergency service locations c. Report these findings to the April 20, 2023 meeting of the General Government Committee.

In addition, as Corporate Real Estate Management continues to implement the City Council mandated City-Wide Real Estate Model and relevant Auditor General's recommendations, work standardization has increased the effectiveness of facility management services, including custodial services, and these efficiencies are reflected in the 2023 City Council approved Budget.
The General Government Committee recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, to restore cleaning hours to the second quarter 2022 levels at buildings which house critical emergency services. 2.
