SUBJECT: Scope of Work Increase for Purchase Order T14-090: Duke &
Ontario Garage — Localized Parking Garage Repairs
RECOMMENDATION:
That an extension of the purchase order issued to Mass Contracting Ltd. for
localized repairs to the Duke & Ontario parking garage in the amount of $39,700.
plus HST be approved.
BACKGROUND:
The first phase of the multi-year parking garage rehabilitation program was undertaken
in 2005 to install a new external post-tensioning system. In addition to new slab post-
tensioning, localized concrete repairs, helical ramp repairs, exterior painting and
installation of new waterproofing systems were included in the program ending 2013.
The Duke & Ontario Parking Garage is generally in good condition but is experiencing
both age-related and premature deterioration in the form of waterproofing failure and
concrete delaminations in isolated locations throughout the garage warranting the need
for localized repairs and maintenance. Additional localized repairs were identified in
2014 including concrete, waterproofing, repairs to the drainage system, replacement of
expansion joint gland seals and aesthetics such as repainting of the helical ramp steel
railings, various paint touch-ups, replacing missing door hardware and installation of
galvanized fencing on levels P5 and P6.
In October 2014, Council awarded tender T14-090 Localized Parking Garage Repairs to
Mass Contracting Ltd. at their tendered price of $151,970.00 plus H.S.T. for a total of
$171,726.10

REPORT:
Repairs to the Duke & Ontario parking garage began in the fall of 2014. Some painting
and drainage work was not completed before winter, therefore the City and Mass
Contracting Ltd. agreed to postpone this work until spring 2015.
During the course of the above tendered work, two new items were discovered that
were not part of the original scope of work but will required attention and repair. These
are:
1. Water ponding was reported in the fall of 2014 on level P2 adjacent to The
Museum's entry door. Water ponding is a slip and fall hazard for patrons of both
the parking garage and The Museum, especially during the winter months when
it can freeze. Drain installation is the appropriate corrective action to resolve this
hazard.
2. An additional expansion joint gland seal was discovered to be damaged on level
P6. A new expansion joint is necessary to protect the helical ramp from water
and salt damage.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
Strategic Direction: Ensure responsible use of public funds within a supportive policy
framework. The City of Kitchener's purchasing policies and practices ensure openness,
fairness and transparency in the procurement of goods and services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The budget for this additional expense is provided for within the Parking Enterprise's
capital budget. The cost required to complete the additional scope of work has been
quoted at $39,700 + HST, or an increase of approximately 26%.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in
advance of the council / committee meeting.
