In 2019, the Breezy Drive/Sunrise Avenue Storm Sewer Outfall Reconstruction was approved as a
project in the Development Projects DC Funded account 5321.1902.6253, in the amount of
$596,300.00.
The balance of the funds in the amount of $515,340.00 will be required for the construction
component of the project, which is expected to commence in 2021.
Discussion: The Frenchman's Bay Stormwater Management Master Plan,
completed in 2009, identified the Breezy Drive/Sunrise Avenue Storm Sewer Outfall (the
Frenchman's Bay Yacht Club) as one of the sites requiring restoration/enhancement measures.
The Breezy Drive/Sunrise Avenue Storm Sewer Outfall is located south of the Frenchman's Bay
Yacht Club on Sunrise Avenue (refer to the Location Map in Attachment #1). The existing outfall
was originally constructed in 1968 and requires reconstruction due to its poor condition. Years of
sediment transport and deposition and associated coastal engineering processes that have
occurred within Frenchman's Bay (which is a coastal marsh) and flows from the storm sewer
outfall, have necessitated the need for regular dredging over the years by the FBYC to enable
safe access from their southern dock area.
The reconstruction of the outfall will also improve the quality of the stormwater that is currently
being discharged untreated into Frenchman's Bay, as the project will include restoration of the
eroded shoreline, creation of a sediment forebay and installation an oil -grit separator.
Proposal No. RFP2020-2 was issued on February 12, 2020 to obtain proposals to undertake the
detailed design for Breezy Drive/Sunrise Avenue Storm Sewer Outfall Reconstruction. The
Request for Proposal process closed on March 4, 2020, with one proposal submitted from Aquafor
Beech Limited.
The proposal received was reviewed by the Evaluation Committee consisting of staff from the
Engineering Services Department. The proposal was evaluated based on criteria outlined in the
RFP document such as:
• the consultant's experience on similar projects
• their understanding of the project
• proposed work plan and deliverables
• project team overview
• quality of their references
• price

their team's strengths and previous experience relative to the required work.
Upon careful examination of the proposal and relevant documents received, the Engineering
Services Department recommends the acceptance of Proposal No. RFP2020-2 submitted by
Aquafor Beech Limited to undertake the detailed design for Breezy Drive/Sunrise Avenue Storm
Sewer Outfall Reconstruction in the amount $78,066.05 (HST included). It is also recommended
that the total gross project cost of $89,902.00 (HST included), including the proposal amount, a
contingency and other associated costs, and the net project cost of $80,960.00 (net of HST
rebate) be approved.
It is recommended that Aquafor Beech Limited be retained at the construction stage of the project
for contract administration and construction supervision. This includes inspection of the
installation of the works and certification that the works are carried out in accordance with the
approved design drawings and specifications of a tender.
Due to the ongoing concerns and new business practices related to the COVID-19 virus
pandemic, Engineering Services and Corporate Services staff will work with Aquafor Beech
Limited, to ensure that proper procedures and protocols are in place to provide a safe work
environment for Pickering residents, the consultant, sub -consultants, and City staff. These
measures may include a delay to the start date of the project.
