BACKGROUND
Tender 187-T-04 for the Construction of Bayview Lanes Splash Pad and Playground Redevelopment was
released which included essential splash pad works as part of the base bid, and
rubberized surfacing, curbing and additional sand as provisional items.
Original budget for water play facilities only:
In April
2003, Council approved a tax rate funded budget of $400,000 for the design,
contract administration and construction of two water play facilities in Markham. One
facility was to be in Milliken Mills and the other in a park in Ward 1,
Thornhill, as determined by staff. In
establishing the budget for these water play facilities, $250,000 was targeted
for Milliken Mills for a larger facility and $150,000 for Thornhill for a
medium sized facility. Landscape Architectural consulting firms have been hired
for each of these projects.
Location in Bayview Lanes
Park established through public consultation process:
In
consultation with the Ward 1 Councillor and with area
residents, Bayview Lanes Park was selected as the
site of the Thornhill water splash pad. Bayview Lanes
Park is adjacent to Stornoway Crescent Public School
and is accessed from Baymark Road. In public meetings, residents made it very clear that they wanted
the splash pad to be located between the two existing playground facilities
which would keep the water play as far away from existing backyards as possible
and create a centralized “play node” where parents could easily supervise their
children who would be using either the playground or water play, or both. Based on this, a design was prepared for a
140 sq. metre splash pad immediately adjacent to the
playgrounds. Both existing playgrounds have a sand base with one having timber
edging and the other having no edging.
Operational and safety concerns raised
through design review:
During the
design process, staff from both Water Works and Parks
Operations departments were consulted regarding operational matters.
Based on this consultation, Water Works requested a larger water chamber and
Parks Operations requested the use of a rubberized safety surface to be
installed under the existing playgrounds rather than retain the existing sand.
Parks Operations staff have indicated that, as a Town
standard, they would prefer installation of a rubberized surfacing whenever a
water play is immediately adjacent to a playground, as sand clogs the drains,
jets and nozzles of the splash pad which results in safety
issues, operational hazards and
malfunctions. Parks Operations staff has advised that while it is impossible to
quantify the precise financial impact of using sand, they have indicated that
daily visits by maintenance staff may be required which ties staff up from
doing other jobs as well as shutting down water play facilities for repair and
cleaning causes considerable inconvenience to surrounding residents. Also,
water play facilities are designed to never have standing water, however, when
drains become clogged, water may remain on the surface creating a potential
safety hazard.
Scope of work changed through the design process:
Because of
the operational concerns raised, the scope of work was expanded to include
changes to the playground area and its surfacing. However, because funding was
not yet approved, Tender 187-T-04 was released for Bayview
Lanes Splash Pad and Playground Redevelopment which included essential splash
pad works as part of the base bid, and rubberized surfacing, curbing and
additional sand as provisional items. Since these last three items were not
originally contemplated when the original budget was approved, they were added
as provisional items with the intention of identifying funding for these works
at the time of tender award.
Staff recommendations:
Staff is recommending the award of the base bid, as
well as selected provisional items, based on the operational and safety
concerns identified above. Staff is also
recommending that $10,000 be set aside in the budget for construction and
design contingency purposes for this project and that the Manager of Parks and
Open Space Development be authorized to approve contingency items up to the
construction contingency amount, and that any contingency funds remaining at
the completion of this project be returned to the “Additional Park Elements
Account”.

BACKGROUND
The Environmental Screening Report for Highway 7 Corridor Stormwater Management Facility
was completed and no technical comment was received during the Notice of
Completion period between February 22 to March 25, 2005. The recommendations in the report may
therefore be implemented. Two stormwater management facilities were proposed in the
report to service the lands on both sides of Highway 7 between Warden Avenue and GO
rail. It is necessary to install the
storm sewer crossing for both facilities under Highway 7 in advance of Highway
7 widening by the Region currently scheduled for 2007 and also construct the
easterly facility which services area PD1-7, the east half of Markham Centre
North and the Sciberras Precinct. The westerly facility which mainly benefits
one land owner can be designed and constructed by the land owner when development
proceeds. This consulting contract will
provide the detailed design for the construction of the above facilities in
2006. Contract administration is not
included in this contract.

BACKGROUND
to tender bids for these items subject to
the requirements of The Town of Markham’s Purchasing By-Law 2004-341. The contract upset limit for the first year
was subsequently increased to $132,649.06 to reflect these additional costs
passed through BLJC.
The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to
extend contract 045-R-03 to BLJC for the optional two year term as per the
terms and conditions of the original proposal.
The contract costs for BLJC are
estimated at $240,000 for 2005, which includes an estimated $40,000 for project
management fees with the balance ($200,000) allocated for services and equipment
that BLJC contracts on behalf of the Town.
The contract value varies from year to year dependent on the
annual project workload.
Funds in this Capital Project are also used to pay suppliers directly.
POI furniture purchases, carpet replacement, painting, associated electrical
and data wiring coordinated by ITS, offsite storage and other miscellaneous
requirements are part of this project, but not part of this blanket as the Town
pays those suppliers directly.

conditions apply, the Treasurer and the Manager of Purchasing may, in
consultation with the appropriate Director, negotiate a contract for the supply
of goods and services without a competitive process, which shall be submitted
to the Chief Administrative Officer for approval…[when]…(c) the extension of an
existing contract would prove more cost-effective or beneficial to the Town;
AND THAT $132,160 be charged
to the 2005 Waste Management Operating Budget Account #770-7734132 for
the purchase of Green Bins for resale;
AND THAT $16,240 be charged
to the 2005 Waste Management Operating Budget Account #770-7734133 for
the purchase of Kitchen Collectors for resale;
AND THAT the funding for the purchase of the Green Bins and Kitchen
Collectors, in the total amount of $148,400, be provided from the 2005
Contingency account should the sales of the bins in 2005 not cover the total
costs in 2005;
AND THAT the revenue from the sale of Green Bins and Kitchen
Collectors be captured in Waste Management Operating accounts #770-7739164 and
#770-7739165, respectively;
AND THAT future bin purchase and sales be included in the Waste
Management Business Unit Profile and Operating Budget for consideration in
2006.
BACKGROUND
On February 22, 2005, Council
approved the issuance of a
single-sourced Purchase Order to Norseman Plastics for the purchase of 55,000
Green Bins organic collection kits for delivery to residents in the 3-Stream
Phase 2 area. Green Bins were purchased
at $15.30 each plus tax, and Kitchen Collectors were purchased at $3.76 each
plus tax. The one time capital cost is
being funded from Account #062-5350-6627-005.
DISCUSSION:
The Town’s GIS database
currently contains 54,668 single family addresses in the 3-Stream Phase 2
area. A purchase of 55,000 container
sets will leave 332 Green Bins and Kitchen Collectors in stock.
Norseman Plastics is currently manufacturing Markham’s Green Bins
and Kitchen Collectors for delivery starting June13, 2005. Once Markham’s order is
completed, Norseman Plastics will be manufacturing containers for the City of Toronto and Region
of Peel. If an order for additional bins is not placed now, additional Green
Bins will not be available until late fall or 2006.
Extra containers will be
required for;
1.
new developments that will be occupied before the
end of the year
2.
residents who wish to purchase extra green bins,
and;
3.
exchange of broken units.*
* All bins have a 5-year warranty
and all broken units will be returned to Norseman
Plastics for credit under the warranty.
Staff recommends that the
single sourced Purchase Order to Norseman Plastics be extended to permit the
purchase of 8,000 additional Green Bins and 4,000 additional Kitchen Containers
to be available as of June 13, 2005 for resale to
residents on a cost recovery basis.

Containers To Be Sold on a Cost Recovery Basis
Budget for the purchase and sale of the extra containers is not
included in the 2005 Waste Management Operating Budget. However, it is anticipated that the revenue
will offset the costs.
Green bins will be sold for $18.00 each, including tax
and Kitchen Collectors will be sold for $5.00 each, including tax. The revenue from the sale of the containers
offsets the cost of their purchase.
Table 2 outlines the net revenue from the sale of 8,000 Green Bins and
4,000 Kitchen Collectors.

respectively.
The actual purchase of
the bins will be charged to Waste Management Operating account #770-7734132 for the purchase of Green Bins for resale, and account
#770-7734133 for the purchase of Kitchen Collectors for resale. Funding for the $148,400 purchase of the
additional bins for resale will be set aside in the Corporate Contingency account
should the funds not be fully recovered from sales by the end of 2005.
Future bin purchase and sales will be included in the Waste
Management Business Unit Profile and Operating Budget for consideration in
2006.

The agreement
with CSDC is for 3 years ending December 31, 2007 for a total
value of $313,650 exclusive of GST.
Staff recommend that the tendering process be waived in accordance
with Purchasing By-Law 2004-341, Part II, Section 7 (1) which states “When any of
the following conditions apply, the Treasurer and the Manager of Purchasing may, in
consultation with the appropriate Director, negotiate a contract for the supply
of goods and services without a competitive process, which shall be submitted
to the Chief Administrative Officer for approval….”
(b)
Where there is only one source of supply for
the goods to be purchased;
BACKGROUND
This application
is a framework that will provide enhanced on-line capabilities to address
repeat applications, reducing turnaround time to address Bill 124 requirements.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The one-time and on-going costs of this
system will be charged against building permit fees and reflected in the fee
bylaw effective July 1, 2005. The appropriate accounting mechanics for this
kind of direct attribution of revenue are being developed.
The on-going
operating costs (service fees and transaction fees based upon an estimated
3,000 transactions per year), estimated to be $84,600 per year, will be offset
by other favourable variances in the Building Services department in 2005 and will
be considered in the Building Services Department’s 2006 Operating budget.
Upon approval of
this award, the Town Solicitor will prepare a legal agreement with CSDC Systems.
