Origin
Summary
This report advises of a new 2015 Games venue request from the Toronto Organizing Committee for the 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games (“TO2015”) and seeks authority to pay for the venue from approved PF&R 2015 Games capital project funding.
In addition, this report provides an update on the status of the Parks, Forestry and Recreation (“PF&R”) 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games (“2015 Games”) capital projects.
Specifically, the City has received a request from TO2015 for the use of the waterways between Ontario Place and Marilyn Bell Park (the “West Channel”) (please refer to Appendix “A”) for the purposes of hosting Water Ski and Wakeboard, Open Water Swimming and the swim segment of the Triathlon during the 2015 Games. Certain capital works must be completed for the waterways to meet international competition standards (the “West Channel Project”).
In 2011, City Council approved a capital project called Pan Am Aquatic Centre/Canadian Sport Institute for Ontario (the “PAAC”), which is now the Toronto Pan Am Sport Centre (TPASC”). The approved TPASC project cost is $248.93 million, $54.765 million of which represents the City's contribution. However, the guaranteed price of the TPASC contract, project managed by Infrastructure Ontario (“IO”), is $205 million. Consequently, the City’s contribution has been reduced to $45.10 million, resulting in projected Budget Savings of $9.67 million (the “TPASC Budget Savings”). The TPASC contract cost is guaranteed; if project exceeds $205 million, the City’s contribution will not increase. Council’s authority is sought for the General Manager of PF&R to redirect $2.42 million of the projected TPASC Budget Savings to fund the new West Channel Project.
