Scope of Work:
The work in this Contract comprises the rehabilitation of two bridges on Don Mills Road over the CN Rail and the Don River. The work includes cleaning and coating of the structural steel; new concrete deck, curbs, parapet walls and approach slabs; pier repairs; new expansion joints; asphalt paving and waterproofing, and utility duct bank supports.
Approval of Consultants:
The Transportation Department maintains a list of approximately 20 bridge consultants, who have expressed an interest in gaining work with the Department. Following a review of five proposals and taking into account their ability to provide the services required to successfully complete the assignment on time and within budget, Winter Associates was selected in 1997 to design the rehabilitation works and prepare contract documents for this structure. The selection was made in accordance with the "Policy for Selection of Architects and Professional Consulting Services". The proposal submitted by these companies also identified their ability, experience and a cost estimate for providing construction supervision services for this project, but no award for these services was made at that time.
Based on the satisfactory performance of this consultant to date and their knowledge of this project, it is appropriate that Winter Associates also be retained to provide construction supervision services for the project as outlined in this report at a cost not to exceed $6,750.00 per week of construction. The Consultant appointment will be subject to the completion of an agreement containing clauses satisfactory to the City Solicitor and the Commissioner of Transportation.
