City Council declare that any legal entity that is related to or has the same operating mind as 614128 Ontario Ltd. shall also be ineligible to bid on or be awarded City of Toronto construction tender calls for one year, from the date City Council approves this recommendation, where PMMD (in consultation with Legal Services) determines that such entity was created or its being used for the purpose of evading the City’s decision to suspend 614128 Ontario Ltd.
Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council declare 614128 Ontario Ltd., operating as Trisan Construction ("Trisan"), ineligible to bid on any City of Toronto tenders for a period of one year.
This recommendation is based on demonstrated poor performance by Trisan on two recent Basement Flooding Protection Program contracts. Trisan's actions as the Constructor on these contracts potentially put staff, the public, homeowner properties, and City infrastructure at risk, which was repeatedly documented by Engineering and Construction Services staff, as well as a number of other Agencies having jurisdiction on construction sites. City Council approval is required in order to suspend a contractor from contract awards for poor performance.
