This amendment will revise the overall target value from $27,242,618 to $56,262,618 net of all taxes and charges ($57,252,840 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Toronto Paramedic Services acknowledges that the financial commitment required for this amendment is significant. Delays in procurement, along with COVID-19 related supply chain disruptions have led to increased costs. As a result, between 2022 and 2025, Toronto Paramedic Services did not receive new ambulances and slowed the decommissioning of existing ambulances to maintain an adequate fleet for daily operations and maintenance requirements. Toronto Paramedic Services is seeking approval to accelerate the ambulance replacement process to address the backlog of units that have surpassed their end of service life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With many of the supply chain barriers now eased, Crestline is positioned to fulfill new ambulance orders at consistent production levels. This contract amendment will support the investment in new ambulances to help ensure fleet reliability, and paramedic and patient safety.</p> | 25 | 3 | CMMTTEE |

The total value of the amendment being requested is $3,500,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This contract amendment pertains to the contract awarded in 2022 to Computacenter TeraMach Inc., for Veritas NetBackup software, which supports automated backups. The amendment ensures continued support for the City's critical backup infrastructure and disaster recovery capabilities through July 2027, with a new competitive request for services planned for early 2027. At the time of writing this report, City staff verified through third-party analysis that pricing within this contract remains competitive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The City of Toronto operates three data centres to ensure robust data security and the continuity of critical services. These centres regularly back up data to protect against various threats. The City's multi-year Enterprise Information Technology Disaster Recovery Program and Auditor General's assessments have highlighted the need to expand data backup capacity. To address this, the City is enhancing backup and recovery capabilities at the upgraded Tiffield Data Centre as part of the Datacentre Modernization Program.</p> | 25 |

Piggybacking on this contract will urgently expand the use for Toronto Building to support delivery of housing City-wide. This contract was originally awarded under a 2023 competitive negotiated Request for Proposal (Doc3220681346) for Concept 2 Keys, City Manager's Office, now managed by the Development Review Division.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of the building permit review process, Toronto Building currently uses Electronic Markup Management Application, a proprietary customized tool which has been in use since it was first implemented in November 2012. Granicus, the provider, has retired both the Electronic Markup Management Application tool and support and maintenance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This approach mitigates potential security risks associated with using a discontinued application and ensures uninterrupted operations for Toronto Building with software that is actively supported and currently in use by the City.</p>
<p><br />To ensure business continuity for Toronto Building and the building permit review process, the City recommends transitioning to an established platform proven effective to meet the City's needs to review and mark-up building plan drawings for the Development Review Division. Toronto Building has assessed this tool and confirmed that it meets current and planned operational requirements.</p> | 25 |

<p> </p>
<p>Blanket Contract 47025515 is established in accordance with the pricing, terms, and conditions outlined in the Ontario Public Service Vendor of Record (Tender - 18358 - Microsoft Select Plus Agreement and Reseller Agreement). While the current Vendor of Record is valid until 2026, the City's agreement remains in effect until February 2029, and the conditions of the Vendor of Record will be upheld until that time. The City intends to continue utilizing the Vendor of Record as long as it remains available to benefit from the Province's competitive procurement process and purchasing power, ensuring the best value for the City.</p>
<p><br /> The value of Blanket Contract 47025515 was established based on anticipated needs in early 2024. Since then, the City has more accurately mapped out its requirements to meet the higher standards for disaster recovery modernization due to rising compliance requirements, software renewals, and the expansion of critical division products.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This contract, distinct from the City's Microsoft 365 Enterprise Agreement for cloud services, covers non-cloud, legacy and or specialized needs. Leveraging the Provincial Vendor of Record, it provides competitive pricing and flexibility to purchase licences and professional services. This contract ensures the continued operation of critical infrastructure including disaster recovery and supports timely deployment of security updates to maintain strong cybersecurity across the City.</p> |
| 143354 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Amendment to Blanket Contract 47025543 with OpenText Corporation for Enterprise Document and Records Management Products and Professional Services Leveraging the Provincial Volume Licensing Agreement | 2025.GG25.8 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to amend Blanket Contract 47025543 with OpenText Corporation, a Canadian supplier, for the purchase of Enterprise Information Management products and services in the amount of $8,970,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges and to extend the contract by three years from 2028 - 2030.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blanket Contract 47025543 is established according to the pricing, terms, and conditions outlined in the Ontario Public Service Vendor of Record for Enterprise Information Services. The current Vendor of Record is valid until 2027, and the City intends to continue utilizing the Vendor of Record as long as it remains available. By leveraging this Vendor of Record, the City benefits from the Province's competitive procurement process and purchasing power, providing the best value.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the City initially set up the contract to utilize the Vendor of Record in 2023, it sought only two years of project funding due to limited activity during the pandemic. In 2024, the City resumed the program and updated its five-year roadmap, focusing on integrating key enterprise technologies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>City divisions, agencies, and corporations manage large volumes of digital records, from routine operational information to sensitive records. The OpenText Records Management Application centralizes and streamlines records lifecycle management, improving security, compliance, and reducing physical storage needs. Toronto Records, also known as T-Recs, is a records management solution built on OpenText, and has been in use since 2018 for multiple City divisions.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report seeks approval for the originally planned spending authority, postponed due to the pandemic, for the period from 2026 to 2030. Additionally, it requests an extension of the contract by three years (2028 - 2030) to sustain ongoing projects and support new initiatives, including the Digital Employee File, rolling out in-house scanning to digitize appropriate physical records, and migrating T-Recs to the cloud.</p> |

| 143312 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Amendment to Purchase Order Number 6055480 with Rossclair Contractors Inc., for General Contracting Services at 2299 Dundas Street West | 2025.GG25.10 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The purpose of this report is to seek authority to amend the value of Purchase Order Number 6055480 issued to Rossclair Contractors Inc., for general contracting services at the City-owned building located at 2299 Dundas Street West (the “Property”). The total amendment being requested is $2,500,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($2,544,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the current Purchase Order value from $15,356,111 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($15,626,379 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $17,856,111 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($18,170,379 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In September 2018, the Property was acquired by the City as one of the transition sites to support the relocation of clients from the Seaton House Annex Program, as part of the George Street Revitalization project. The City is currently converting the Property into a City-operated men's shelter with capacity for approximately 80 beds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Following a planning process delay of over two years (end of 2019 to end of 2021) due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and its disruption to the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing schedule, renovations of the Property commenced in April 2024 with Rossclair Contractors Inc. serving as the general contractor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Site due diligence and environmental assessments were conducted as part of standard practice during the acquisition and early design development phases of the project. Provisions to address findings from these preliminary assessments were included in the original scope of work. However, the full extent of the site’s impaired conditions became apparent once full demolition and underground work on the Property had commenced. These issues were beyond what could have been detected through standard due diligence activities in earlier phases. Three major unforeseen site conditions were discovered between May and August of 2025. In addition to these significant issues, several other unanticipated conditions also emerged, although relatively minor in nature. For example, there was insufficient space to expand the existing hydro duct bank, which houses electrical and communications conduits underground, to support the expanded utility demand. As a result, additional conduits had to be routed through alternative pathways.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The major unforeseen site conditions include:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">1. Unexpectedly high groundwater table in the area of the Property that led to infiltration of groundwater in the basement during below grade work;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />2. A substantial amount of hazardous materials found throughout the Property that necessitated legislatively required abatement prior to work continuation; and</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><br />3. Unanticipated severity of building deterioration during the two-year planning process delay, when the Property remained vacant, required additional rehabilitation work.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p>Staff have taken a proactive management approach to address and mitigate the impacts of various unforeseen site conditions. However, proactive management alone cannot fully address the significant impact of the site conditions uncovered during construction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This amendment will cover the scope of additional work arising from the unexpected site conditions and enable the contractor to proceed without delay. Occupancy of the Property is anticipated in the second quarter of 2026. Timely completion is critical to support the transition of clients from the Seaton House Annex Program and advance the George Street Revitalization project.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>The Purchase Order 6046595 issued to AECOM through Request for Proposal 9117-13-7056 is for additional engineering services for construction contract administration and site inspection for the Effluent Disinfection System Upgrades Project at the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant. The amendment is needed for additional services resulting from an extension to the construction completion date and includes a contingency allowance should the work be further delayed due to any unforeseen construction issues, which may arise through to Project completion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The total value of the Purchase Order Amendment for AECOM’s work that is being requested is $4,591,755 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($4,672,570 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current value of Purchase Order 6046595 from $16,214,983 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($16,500,367 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $20,806,738 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($21,172,936 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>The City currently owns and operates three (3) Snowmelters, which provide critical support to the City's winter operations. A Snowmelter is designed to melt large quantities of snow to effectively manage snow accumulation, which can reduce the costs and time associated with hauling snow to an alternative location. Snowmelters are a key part of the City's snow removal plan, as identified by a third-party independent consultant, Municipal VU Consulting Inc. Through EX25.5, Council directed the General Managers of Fleet and Transportation Services to determine surge capacity equipment needs related to major snow events, and the City Manager to work with Municipal VU Consulting Inc., to finalize a major snow event plan and associated communications plan based on findings from Municipal VU Consulting Inc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Fleet Services Division undertook two competitive procurement processes, in 2023 and 2025 respectively, for the maintenance and repair of its existing Snowmelters; however, neither led to securing a qualified vendor. The City's existing Snowmelters have aged, with two units requiring repairs and one unit requiring replacement. Additional units are also needed to ensure reliable equipment is available to support snow-clearing operations, including accounting for any service disruptions. Trecan Combustion Limited is the sole source supplier in Canada capable of providing Snowmelters of the size and specifications required by the City.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The initial contract term is one (1) year, from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026, with the option to renew for four (4) additional separate one (1) year periods. The total cost to the City for awarding this contract is $2,869,780 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries ($2,852,013 including all taxes and charges, $2,820,145 net of Harmonized Sales Tax) for the initial term. The full value of the contract, including all option renewal terms, is $3,940,350 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries ($4,452,595 including all taxes and charges, $3,872,199 net of Harmonized Sales Tax).</p>

<p>A non-competitive procurement may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This procurement will be proceeding under the exception related to Exclusive Rights, where Trecan Combustion Limited and the City have determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract, are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1.C).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>City Council 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 for each supplier, 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.</p> |

This contract also facilitates purchases by other City divisions, including Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Public Health which will be managed by City Stores. </p>
<p><br />By maintaining the use of the Zoll X Series Advanced cardiac monitors, Toronto Paramedic Services avoids the substantial expenses associated with a system-wide replacement, which would include not only the purchase of new equipment but also the extensive retraining of staff, and updates to various software integrated with our current Zoll defibrillators and patient care devices.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The total amount of this request is $24,758,371 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($25,194,118 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), for a period of one (1) year from the date of award to October 31, 2026, with the option to renew for four (4) additional one (1)-year periods. The current Blanket Contract 47019673, awarded competitively, with Zoll Medical Canada Inc., will expire on November 15, 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement.

| 143356 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Litigation Arising from the Rehabilitation of Section 1 of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway (Jarvis Street to Cherry Street) - Supplier Suspension Status Update | 2025.GG25.17 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>On April 7, 2025, the General Government Committee had requested the Chief Procurement Officer, with Engineering and Construction Services, to report directly to the April Council meeting with a recommendation regarding the potential suspension of WSP Canada Inc., from City contracts and subcontracts. Suspension was not recommended at that time by the Chief Procurement Officer and the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Further on April 23, 2025, Council instructed the Chief Procurement Officer to notify WSP of its proposed suspension, following the Supplier Suspension Procedure, and report back to the General Government Committee on whether WSP should be suspended from bidding on or being awarded future City of Toronto contracts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since then, and in accordance with the established Supplier Suspension Procedure, the Chief Procurement Officer and staff from Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation with Legal Services, have continued to recommend that WSP Canada Inc., maintain its eligibility to participate in City procurement opportunities. Suspension is not warranted under the Supplier Suspension Procedure and taking into account the scope of work currently being undertaken by WSP and their overall performance on City contracts.</p> | 25 | 17 | CMMTTEE | GG |
| 143316 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | 2024 Annual Human Rights Office Report | 2025.GG25.18 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>This report provides an update on human rights inquiries and complaints involving the City of Toronto in 2024. It includes data, trends, and information related to the work of the City's Human Rights Office as well as external legal processes. The report also identifies key initiatives and policy development undertaken by the Human Rights Office aimed at preventing human rights violations while promoting equity and inclusion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 2024, the Human Rights Office received 1,574 inquiries, marking a 32 per cent increase in a single year. Since 2019, inquiries to the Human Rights Office have grown by 89 per cent, reflecting a sharp rise in demand for services by City employees and the public. During this time, complaint-related inquiries have also increased by 32 per cent. In 2024, the Human Rights Office operated with eight staff performing case management work and resumed conducting its own investigative services, while continuing to support investigations carried out by Divisions and piloting new approaches to enhance service delivery. Although demand for services continues to increase, the Human Rights Office remains committed to ensuring service excellence and upholding the integrity of the complaints process. Accordingly, there was no backlog in the provision of the Human Rights Office's services, and each inquiry was responded to in line with service standards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Incidences of workplace harassment and incivility continue to rise, and the Human Rights Office has seen a marked increase in inquiries citing race and related grounds, as well as creed and disability. These trends may reflect broader global dynamics, including international conflicts and social movements, which impact both residents and employees. The consistently growing demand for Human Rights Office services underscores its critical role in supporting City of Toronto workplaces, services, and facilities to be free from harassment and discrimination.</p> |
| 143317 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | Non-Union Separation Costs for 2024 | 2025.GG25.19 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>This report provides information on non-union employee separation costs for 2024. Separation costs in this report include unilateral decisions made by the employer to exit employees from the workplace where exit payments are higher than legislative minimums. The separation payment provided in each circumstance, is informed by both provincial legislation and the application of a number of factors that are consistently considered by the courts such as length of service, the employee's age, the availability of comparable employment and whether the employee was enticed to leave previous employment, amongst other factors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 2014, the City's Auditor General reviewed the City of Toronto's non-union employee separation costs. The review affirmed that separation costs had been awarded in accordance with City of Toronto policies, procedures, applicable legislation and jurisprudence. The Auditor General recommended that separation costs continue to be monitored and that the costs be reported out regularly. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The City of Toronto has statutory and legal obligations to provide separation pay when the employment relationship is terminated by the City of Toronto without just cause. Administering separation payments for non-union employees whose employment is terminated without cause falls under the authority of the City Manager. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The total number of exits in each of the reported years represents a very small percentage of the total number of non-union employees employed by the City of Toronto.</p> | 25 | 19 | CMMTTEE |

This authority could be extended beyond $20 million under the circumstances previously listed in Section 8.3 of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, which included awards made during Council's summer recess.</p>
