The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services to negotiate and enter into a non-competitive agreement with MMM Group on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor for detailed engineering design and construction liaison for the Deck Replacement of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway from Jarvis Street to Cherry Street, including the design of associated public realm improvements.

Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to request authority for the Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services to negotiate and enter into a non-competitive contract with MMM Group. The contract is for professional services for the detailed engineering design of the Deck Replacement of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway from Jarvis Street to Cherry Street, including the design of associated public realm improvements, as well as for construction liaison. The estimated amount of the non-competitive contract is $3,000,000 net of HST, $3,052,800 net of HST recoveries. This price represents an engineering cost of approximately 1 percent of the total capital project cost, which is lower than the cost typically expected with this type of undertaking, and is therefore considered fair and reasonable.
There is an urgent need for the award of this contract as a delay will jeopardize the City's ability to construct the infrastructure upgrades needed to maintain the elevated section of the Gardiner Expressway between Jarvis and Cherry Streets, currently at the end of its service life, in a safe and operable condition, without additional cost; and to adhere to the accelerated rehabilitation schedule recently approved by Council. Entering into a non-competitive contract with MMM Group will enable the City to maintain the aggressive rehabilitation schedule for the Gardiner Expressway and proceed with the required reconstruction work on the most critical portion of the elevated section starting in 2018.
City Council approval is required for this contract award in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195-1 Purchasing, where the current request exceeds $500,000 under Section 1 of the Purchasing By-Law and allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71- Financial Control, Section 71-11A.
