Subject:
City of Kitchener Development Manual – Amendment to the
Purchase Order for Consulting Services
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council approve the extension of the Purchase Order for consulting services to
AMEC Earth and Environmental for the additional amount of $8992.89 plus applicable
taxes (GST) for completing the Development Manual.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In January 26, 2009, the Council appointed AMEC Earth and Environmental (formerly known as
Philips Engineering Ltd) as the city’s consultant to update the current subdivision manual as a
“Development Manual”. All design criteria, standard drawings, construction details and
specifications, material specifications, and the administration of design submissions, letters of
credit and acceptance procedures were updated and/or created.
The project was completed in May, 2010 and approved by Council on May 17, 2010.
REPORT:
As part of the DTS meeting held on May 10, 2010, the WHBA requested an additional meeting
to incorporate their comments. Council directed staff to meet with the WHBA and CEO chapter
to address their concerns. Additional meetings with internal staff and the WHBA members were
held which resulted in changes to the Manual and drawings.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total additional funding of $8992.89 is required, and the funding is available from the
Engineering Studies account 861061-231.
CONCLUSION:
Due to additional meetings held with internal staff and stakeholder groups, staff recommend an
increase in the purchase order in order to provide payment to the Consultants.
ACKNOWLEDGED BY:
Jeff Willmer, Interim General Manager DTS
