of $966,683.48.
This work was for the reconstruction of the above streets including sidewalk repair. The design and contract

There is sufficient funding available in the contract accounts for this project.
The final cost of the tendered items, as stated above, is $1,101,184.20 which exceeds the tendered amount by
$134,500.72 or 13.91 percent. The former City of North York's Council policy required the Management Committee's
approval for contract payments which exceeded the tendered amount by more than 5 percent.
The cost overrun in the value of the contract is attributed to the actual measured quantities exceeding the estimated
tendered quantities in the following areas:

- removal of existing asphalt surface by grinding;
- excavation of poor sub-base in the roadway;
- supply of crushed limestone aggregates for the poor sub-base areas of the roadway;
