REPORT:
This report seeks the approval of Council, authorizing Melloul-Blamey Construction Inc., to
undertake the construction management services related to the CMF solar roof installation,
including the retention of Photowatt Ontario Inc. for the supply and installation of the solar roof,
in accordance with the Photowatt proposal accepted by the City.
Since Melloul-Blamey Construction Inc. was retained by the City to provide construction
management services for the CMF redevelopment, it was contemplated in our RFP document
that, upon regulatory approval of the solar roof project, Melloul-Blamey would assume the
responsibility for overseeing the solar roof project as our Constructor.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The construction budget for the CMF solar roof is $3,800,000., plus HST, which forms part of
the overall approved solar roof budget of $4,100,000.
Melloul-Blamey Construction's management fee is included within this budget at an estimate of
$39, 564.36.
