Decision Advice and Other Information
The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee recessed to meet in closed session to consider this item as it relates to receiving of advice that is subject to solicitor-client privilege and litigation or potential litigation, including matters before administrative tribunals affecting the municipality.
Origin
Summary
This recommendation is based on demonstrated poor performance by Domti on two recent Engineering & Construction Services contracts and is made in accordance with the City’s Contractor Performance Evaluation Tool. Domti's actions on these contracts demonstrated inadequate contract management, unacceptable work performance, poor administration, lack of diligence, and risk to public safety with respect to the state of the construction site due to Domti's actions as the Constructor on one of these contracts. City Council approval is required in order to suspend a contractor from contract awards for poor performance.
