(September 24, 2012) Letter from the Budget Committee

Summary

The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter into a sole source agreement with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) for the replacement of a 600mm diameter watermain and for the reconfiguration of Front Street West; to request authority to retain AECOM on a sole source basis, the engineering design consultant, for the provision of contracted professional engineering support for services during construction and post construction phases; and to inform with respect to a sole source agreement with the TTC for the replacement of a 300mm diameter watermain that is currently being sought.

 

Union Station is undergoing a major revitalization. The TTC is concurrently constructing a second subway platform at Union Station which requires the reconstruction of Front Street West, between Bay and York Streets. To coordinate the City capital projects impacted by these initiatives, the construction of the replacement of existing watermains within the Front Street right-of-way, and the implementation of the reconfiguration of Front Street West in accordance with the recent Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study Report is required to be included into TTC s Union Station Subway Platform Expansion project that is currently under construction.
