Summary
This report is to obtain Economic and Community Development Committee's authority to amend (3) three existing non-competitive purchase orders and/or contract established for emergency services and (3) three existing contracts awarded for a (5) five year term in accordance with Request for Proposal No. 9119-16-7030 for the provision of Short Term Accommodations for shelter clients through the use of hotel/motel services for operated shelters.
Shelter, Support and Housing Administration continues to contract with various hotels to provide shelter to homeless clients. The target values for the contracts and/or purchase orders that were established for these services will be exceeded at some point this year and in early 2020. Given the dollar value, the committee's approval is required to amend these purchasing vehicles.
Economic and Community Development Committee approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Purchasing Officer's authority of the cumulative five year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11a.
