EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council award Contract 2026-04 Sydney Street (Broad Street to St. James Street) Water, Sanitary and Storm Renewal and Street Reconstruction to the low tenderer. PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS th October 30, 2023: M&C 2023-238 -Revised 2024 General and Utility Fund Capital Programs, approved. October 28th, 2024: M&C 2024-2872025 Draft General and Utility Fund Capital Budgets, approved. REPORT The 2024 & 2025 approved Water & Sewerage Utility Fund and General Fund CapitalPrograms include funds for the reconstruction of Sydney Street from Broad Street to St. JamesStreet. The work on Sydney Street includes the renewal of the existing water main,replacing sections of the sanitary sewer, and renewal and upsizingof thestorm sewer. It also includes a full street reconstructionincludingnewconcrete curbs and sidewalks, grass median, roadway granular materials, asphaltpaving, trees, pedestrian crossing improvements and street signage. TENDER RESULTS th Tenders closed on February 17, 2026,with the following results, including HST: 1. Fairville Construction Ltd.$1,248,969.00 2. TerraEx Inc.$1,332,372.75 3.L. Sanford and Sons Ltd.$1,390,223.82 4.Galbraith Construction Ltd.$1,482,626.00 5. L.C.L Excavation (2006) Inc$1,753,842.00 The Engineer's estimate for the work was $1,353,412.00 ANALYSIS Thetenders were reviewed by staff and they were allfound to be formal in all respects.Staff are of the opinion that the low tenderer has thenecessary resources and ability to perform thework and recommend acceptanceof their tender. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Contract includes work that is charged against the 2024 & 2025Water & SewerageUtility Fundand General Fund Capital Programs. This project is partially fundedby the Integrated Bilateral Funding program (Other Share). Assuming the awardof the Contract to the low tenderer, an analysis has been completed, whichincludes the estimated amount of work to be performed by the Contractor andOthers. The analysis below was established by considering the City Share funding includedin the approved 2024 & 2025Capital Programs. In determining the overall budget for thisproject, a breakdown of Other Share (73.33%) and City Share (26.67%) was used.This allocation was determined by considering the City Share as 26.67% of theoverall budget. The analysis is as follows: Budget$1,403,295.84 Project Net Cost$1,222,742.20 Variance (Surplus)$ 180,553.64 The breakdown of the surplus funding($180,553.64)is $171, 931.62within the General Fund and $8,622.02in the Utility Fund. It should be noted that the Integrated Bilateral Funding programfor the Central Peninsula projects is coming to an end as there is insufficient Other Share funding remaining to complete all of the projects proposed tobe completed at the time the funding application was submitted. Based on the estimated funding remaining within the program it is anticipatedthat the Charlotte Street (Princess Street to Queen Square North) reconstruction project will be the last project completed within this program. Since allprojectswithin the Integrated Bilateral Funding program are not going to be completedthe City will be requesting an overall scope change for the program from RDC to align with the projects completed. POLICY-TENDERING OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS This recommendation aligns with the Council's policy for the tendering of construction contracts, adhering to the City's General Specifications and specific project specifications. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT This report aligns with Council's Priorities for GROW, GREEN, MOVE and PERFORMas the project involves reconstructing asection of a City street currently in poorcondition while leveraging Other Share funding. The work also includes renewing the storm system, but upsizing to allow forfurtherseparation of sanitary sewer and storm sewerflows within the drainage basin. During the design phase of the work for this project, a review of the CentralPeninsula Secondary Plan (The Secondary Plan) was completed. The SecondaryPlan contains several Policies and Proposals relating to the Central Peninsula. Throughout the engagement process in developing the Secondary Plan,morestreet trees and greening was identified as a community priority.Therewas also a noted desire to improve pedestrian infrastructure, including the needfor additional crosswalks. The reconstruction of Sydney Street (Broad Street to St. James Street) includes the renewal of the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure as well as theupsizing of the stormsewer infrastructure required for present and future separation. The streetreconstruction design achieves a more livable environment in the CentralPeninsula. A few noteworthy improvements include: SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES The municipal infrastructure along Sydney Street (BroadStreetto St. James Street), is currently in poor condition and requires replacement. Thisinfrastructure renewal effort reduces the likelihood of future service disruptionsfor residents, addressing potential failures in the existing infrastructure.Additionally, the project improves the Citcapacity for the separation of stormwater and sanitary sewerflows within the drainage area. This project also provides for the opportunity to make several streetscapeenhancements that will improve the safety of this section of Sydney Street for allusers of the transportation infrastructure, which is key given the proximity of thisproject to the new school for the Southern Peninsula.
