GL14.3adopted
The purpose of this report is to obtain City Council authority to enter into a new lease agreement with FCHT Holdings (Ontario) Corporation (the "Landlord), for approximately 11,760 square feet of space, at 85 Ellesmere Road, Scarborough (the "Leased Premises"), for the purpose of expanding the Toronto Public Library, Maryvale Branch. The report also seeks authority to designate the Leased Premises as Municipal Capital Facility, and to provide an exemption from municipal and education taxes. The current Toronto Public Library branch, which is located in Parkway Mall at 85 Ellesmere Road, Scarborough, occupies 4,998 square feet. The proposed expansion will add 6,762 square feet, for a total of 11,760 square feet in a different and improved location within the mall. The proposed lease has favourable terms as the size of the branch will increase by 135 percent, but the gross annual cost of the lease is expected to increase by less than 70 percent. The lease proposal also includes a significant landlord contribution that will fund 30 percent of the capital costs. The proposed term for the lease is for twenty (20) years, and is expected to commence on June 1, 2021 (the "Commencement Date"). The rent and other terms and conditions of the proposed new lease reflect current market value according to market research and valuation conducted by Corporate Real Estate Management staff. The current Municipal Capital Facility designation provides a tax exemption for 4,998 square feet, and will be cancelled when the Library vacates the current location space. The requested Municipal Capital Facility designation would provide tax exemption for the new, expanded space.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommend that: 1. City Council authorize a new lease agreement between the City of Toronto (the "City"), as tenant, and FCHT Holdings (Ontario) Corporation, as landlord, for Units 21 and 22, 85 Ellesmere Road, Scarborough, for a twenty (20) year term, substantially on terms and conditions set out in Appendix A to the report (June 19, 2020) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and the City Librarian. 2.

This report submits, for the Committee's information, a Funding Valuation as at December 31, 2019 on the Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund (the Fund) prepared by Buck HR Consulting. The Fund finances the pension plan (the Plan). This Valuation provides information on the automatic cost-of-living increase of 1.95 percent in pensioner benefits effective January 1, 2020, called for under By-Law 10649 as amended, governing the Plan and the Fund. The Fire Pension Plan has specific criteria in its By-law which, if satisfied, grants members an automatic cost-of-living increase, and therefore council is not required to approve it. So long as sufficient surpluses exist on both a Going Concern and Solvency basis, members are entitled to an increase comprised of the lesser of (a) The Plan's 5-year average rate of return less the discount rate used for the current year's Solvency valuation; (b) the increase in the year-over-year level of the average Consumer Price Index (CPI) as published by Statistics Canada. In this case, the second criterion is the lesser of the two, and hence members are entitled to an automatic increase of 1.95 percent. On May 1, 2018, new provincial funding rules for defined-benefit pension plans came into effect which are incorporated into the 2019 Valuation Report, which sets forth the financial position of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2019 on Going Concern and Solvency bases, and confirms that the Fund does not require any special payments by the City of Toronto. The Charts below summarize the financial position of the Fund as at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 based on the Actuarial Valuations for those years. Going Concern Valuation - This type of valuation assumes that the Plan will continue to operate until all pensions are paid out. Table 1 - Going Concern Valuation ($ millions) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets $197.5 $206.1 Liabilities $180.5 $179.6 Surplus / (Deficit) $17.0 $26.5 Solvency Valuation - This type of valuation assumes that the Plan was wound up on the valuation date ( i.e., December 31 st , 2019) and the assets used, to the extent necessary, to meet existing liabilities including the purchase of annuities for the pensioners and any unretired members. Table 2 - Solvency Valuation ($ millions) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Assets $202.0 $197.7 Liabilities $187.2 $186.3 Surplus / (Deficit) $14.8 $11.4 Valuation will be filed with FSRA Valuation was filed with FSRA

Acquisition of 2950 and 2970 Lake Shore Boulevard West
The purpose of this report is to obtain authority to accept the offer to sell (the "Offer") that the City has received from 2970 Lake Shore GP Inc. (the "Vendor") and to enter into an agreement of purchase and sale to acquire the adjoining properties municipally known as 2950 and 2970 Lake Shore Boulevard West (collectively, "the Property") for use as a municipal shelter. City staff will ensure to limit the City's exposure to potential latent defects through due diligence prior to completing the transaction, through warranty conditions in the agreement of purchase and sale, or by other measures. The location of the Property meets the requirements of the Municipal Shelter By-law 138-2003. In an effort to ensure that shelter services are located throughout all areas of the City of Toronto (not only downtown) this Property was deemed as the only available viable option, with a willing seller, that is strategically located in the southwest area of Etobicoke. The use of the Property as a municipal shelter will support City Council's direction to expand the number of permanent new shelter beds by 1,000. The combination of the two properties creates a large sized property that allows flexibility in responding to changes in shelter standards and demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) has made interim changes to the Toronto Shelter Standards to maintain a minimum of two (2) metre separation between beds. If this change becomes permanent, or other changes to the Shelter Design Guidelines are made as a result of the pandemic, the Property will be designed to accommodate the new standards either with the two (2) metre separation or with the use of more private rooms or partitions, thus resulting in only a minor reduction in capacity. All new shelters, including the Property, are being designed so that they may be converted into housing in the future. As demand for municipal shelters changes, the property can be partly or wholly transitioned into supportive or transitional housing. Finally SSHA, in collaboration with Corporate Real Estate Management, will continue to explore other real estate opportunities in order to meet the balance of the required 1,000 shelter beds. Consideration to current market conditions will be made to ensure that future acquisitions align with SSHA's COVID-19 response strategies, as may be appropriate, and will work to ensure that future options reduce the City's upfront capital investments.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City of Toronto to accept the offer to sell and enter into an agreement of purchase and sale with 2970 Lake Shore GP Inc. to acquire the adjoining properties municipally known as 2950 and 2970 Lake Shore Boulevard West on such terms and conditions outlined in Appendix A and Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (June 22, 2020) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and such other or amended terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 2. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, or their designate to negotiate a lease assignment and amendment with Bell Mobility Inc. for continued use of portions of 2970 Lake Shore Boulevard West in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 3. City Council authorize the public release of Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (June 22, 2020) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management following the closing of any purchase transaction, and the public release of Confidential Attachment 2 to the report (June 22, 2020) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management upon securing the written consent of Bell Mobility Inc. 4. City Council authorize severally the City Clerk, the Chief Financial Officer, the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, or their designate, to execute the agreement of purchase and sale, the lease assignment and amendment agreement, and any ancillary agreements and documents on behalf of the City. 5. City Council authorize severally the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and, the Director, Transaction Services, to administer and manage the transaction, including the provision of any consents, approvals, waivers and notices, provided that he/she may, at any time, refer consideration of any such matters (including their content) to City Council for its consideration and direction. 6. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to complete the contemplated transaction on behalf of the City, including paying any necessary expenses, amending the closing, due diligence and other dates, and amending and waiving terms and conditions, on such terms as she considers reasonable.

Upon conclusion of a Judicial Review, Toronto's Fair Wage Office was ordered by the Divisional Court on October 15, 2019 to reconsider its decision to disqualify Queensway Excavating and Landscaping Ltd. (Queensway) for non-compliance with Toronto's Fair Wage Policy. The Fair Wage Office reconsideration is related directly to Government Management Committee Report, Item GM27.16 adopted by City Council on May 22, 2018 resulting in the disqualification of Queensway from bidding on City contracts for a period of two years. Report GM27.16 detailed that Queensway was non-compliant with the Fair Wage Policy in 2016 and 2018. In 2019-2020, the Fair Wage Office conducted a reconsideration of the 2018 Fair Wage decision with the proper notice and disclosure and provided Queensway with an opportunity to be heard as required by the Court. The reconsideration decision in February 2020 determined that Queensway was non-compliant with the City's Fair Wage Policy. This report recommends that Queensway not be disqualified from conducting business with the City of Toronto for a period of two years. This report further recommends that the time between the May 22, 2018 adoption of the Government Management Committee Report GM27.16 and this report, wherein Queensway was unable to bid on City contracts be deemed to be the equivalent of any disqualification period which might have been imposed for any Fair Wage Policy non-compliance.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council not disqualify Queensway Excavating and Landscaping Ltd. from conducting business with the City, despite the court-ordered reconsideration decision by the Fair Wage Office which found Queensway in non-compliance with the provisions of the Fair Wage Policy in two separate instances over a period of three years inclusive, given that the time between the May 2018 report and the report (June 22, 2020) from the Manager, Fair Wage Office, is equivalent to any disqualification period which might have been imposed for multiple instances of any Fair Wage Policy non-compliance. 2. City Council direct that the confidential information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (June 19, 2020) from the City Solicitor [GL14.15a] remain confidential in its entirety, as it is about litigation or potential litigation that affects the City of Toronto and contains advice which is subject to solicitor-client privilege.

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6047522 issued to Perkins and Will (P+W), as a result of Request for Proposal (RFP) Number 9118-17-5059 for the provision of full architectural services that will incorporate Net Zero Energy and Emissions Design for the new North East Scarborough Community Recreation Centre and Child Care Centre (NE Scarborough CRC and CC) Project. The total Purchase Order Amendment being requested is for an additional amount of $479,800, net of all applicable taxes and charges ($488,244 net of HST recoveries). This requested amount is required to address additional design scope and consultant fees for the implementation of Net Zero Energy Initiatives for the NE Scarborough CRC and CC Project, which aligns with the decision adopted by City Council at the November 26 and 27, 2019 meeting, through Member Motion MM12.10, with respect to Toronto's commitment to achieve Net Zero Energy and Emissions for new buildings currently in design development. The scope of work in the original RFP call did not include Net-Zero requirements as it predated the Council decision on Net-Zero implementation. The design costs for achieving Net-Zero, for the already in progress design, were not included in the recently approved purchase order amendment before the June 2020 meeting of the General Government and Licensing Committee, as the work and the costs had yet to be finalized pending review of the completed Net Zero Energy and Emissions Feasibility Study.

("Struct-Con"), as a result of Ariba Document Number 1896567634 (208-2009) for the municipal shelter renovations at 4117 Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto to complete previously undiscoverable remedial work. The total Purchase Order Amendment being requested is for an additional $4,050,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges, ($4,121,280 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). The property at 4117 Lawrence Avenue East was acquired by the City in 2019 as one of the sites required for the addition of 1,000 new shelter beds to the City's emergency shelter system. Ongoing work at the site have revealed site condition issues which have resulted in a significant escalation in the renovation costs of the property. The requested amount is required to address structural issues discovered through demolition as well as a hydro duct bank that was originally placed under the building. These issues, which were not known at the time of design and could not have been identified through due diligence, need to be rectified in order to continue to work safely on site as well as comply with Ontario Building Code.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority to amend and increase Purchase Order No. 6041647 with Kronos Canadian Systems Inc. to upgrade the Time Attendance and Scheduling System by the amount of $407,040 net of HST recoveries, increasing the total contract amount from $4,255,954 to $4,662,994 net of HST recoveries. The Time Attendance and Scheduling System is an off-the-shelf software from Kronos Canadian Systems Inc. ("Kronos"). Kronos technology facilitates the time entry and scheduling of staff. The city has an existing contract with Kronos to acquire software licenses for Parks, Forestry & Recreation and Toronto Paramedic Services. The contract includes associated maintenance and support changes. It also enables the City to obtain software updates but excludes professional services to perform the upgrade in the City's environment. The Kronos system utilizes the Adobe Flash plugin. The Adobe Flash is a cross-platform plugin designed to allow the viewing of graphics, video and text over a web browser. Recently, Kronos released a version upgrade to eliminate the use of Abode Flash in order to mitigate enterprise risk. It has been publicized and well documented that Adobe Flash contains some vulnerabilities. As of December 2020, all major web browser platforms, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, have stated that they will not support Adobe Flash and will prevent any technology from using it on their platforms. Since City of Toronto users access Kronos via a web browser, the upgrade would also mitigate a technology compatibility issue. Therefore, it is critical that the City of Toronto applies the version upgrade by year end 2020. As part of City operational best practices, City staff manage and maintain technology upgrades, but due to the complexity of the change, the City requires, expertise of Kronos professional services to upgrade and thereby mitigate technology risk based on their detailed knowledge of the software.
The General Government and Licensing Committee: 1. In accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control By-law), granted authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6041647 with Kronos Canadian Systems Inc. to provide professional services to implement the upgrade of the Time Attendance and Scheduling System in the amount not to exceed $400,000 net of all of all taxes ($407,040 net of HST recoveries) revising the total contract amount from $4,182,345 net of all taxes ($4,255,954 net of HST recoveries) to $4,582,345 net of all taxes ($4,662,994 net of HST recoveries).
