Executive Summary: The City of Pickering hired TYLin International Canada Inc., formerly
known as The Municipal Infrastructure Group Ltd., in June 2019 to undertake the Stormwater
Management Facilities Asset Management Plan (AMP). The AMP was completed and endorsed
by Council in July 2020. The AMP has identified the Lisgoold Stormwater Management (SWM)
Pond as the first priority for the City’s capital works plan and, based on the pond’s current state
and a cost analysis, the AMP has recommended a retrofit option.
The Lisgoold SWM Pond was constructed in 1999 to service Lisgoold and Grand Oak Homes
subdivisions located in the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. Currently, the permanent pool storage
portion of the Lisgoold SWM Pond contains a significant amount of accumulated sediment and
requires a cleanout. The Lisgoold SWM Pond does not meet current minimum water quality
objectives, according to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP)
guidelines, and the City of Pickering’s Stormwater Management Design Guidelines.

Recognizing the Lisgoold SWM Pond requires maintenance and that the existing level of service
provided by this facility is low, in light of current standards, a detailed design for the maintenance
and retrofit of the Lisgoold SWM Pond to improve its overall performance and functionality is
required.
In accordance with Purchasing Policy 10.03 (c) where the professional service assignment is
expected to be above $50,000.00 and the initiating Director intends to acquire the services without
going through a competitive process, Council approval is required to engage an engineering
consultant for a professional services assignment.
Staff are recommending approval of the fee proposal submitted by TYLin International Canada
Inc. for Consulting and Professional Services for the Detailed Design for the Maintenance and
Retrofit for the Lisgoold SWM Pond in the amount $181,359.35 (HST included), and are
recommending that a net project cost of $188,607.00 (net of HST rebate) be approved.

Discussion:
I.Council endorsed the Stormwater Management Facilities Asset Management Plan
The City of Pickering hired TYLin International Canada Inc. (formerly known as The Municipal
Infrastructure Group Ltd.) in June 2019 to undertake the Stormwater Management Facilities Asset
Management Plan (AMP). The project was awarded through the RFP evaluation and selection
process for Consulting and Professional Services.
On December 18, 2020, Council endorsed the Stormwater Management Facilities Asset
Management Plan through Report ENG 11-20 and authorized City staff to implement the
recommendations of the AMP, subject to budget and further Council approval for individual
projects (Resolution #482/20).
The AMP has identified the Lisgoold SWM Pond as the first priority for the City’s capital works
plan and, based on the pond’s deterioration state and a cost analysis, the AMP has recommended
a retrofit option for the Lisgoold SWM Pond restoration. Staff recommended the Lisgoold SWM
Pond Retrofit project in the 2022 Capital Budget, with the intent of proceeding with design and
approvals in 2022, followed by construction in 2023.
The Lisgoold SWM Pond was designed in 1993 to provide water quality and erosion control for a
19 hectare drainage area, according to the applicable criteria at the time. The Lisgoold SWM
Pond was constructed in 1999 to service the Lisgoold and Grand Oak Homes subdivisions located
in the Brock Ridge Neighbourhood. The Lisgoold SWM Pond is approximately located southwest
of Brock Road and Third Concession Road, as shown on the Location Map (Attachment 1).
Currently, the permanent pool storage portion of the Lisgoold SWM Pond is full of accumulated
sediment and requires cleanout. Additionally, the AMP identifies several issues with the current
ENG 13-22 May 2, 2022

of the Lisgoold Stormwater Management Pond Page 4
state of the Lisgoold SWM Pond including a degraded west inlet channel, clogged hickenbottom
outlet structure, reduced active storage, overgrown vegetation and a high susceptibility to further
deterioration. The Lisgoold SWM Pond no longer meets the minimum water quality objectives
according to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks guidelines, and the City of
Pickering’s Stormwater Management Design Guidelines.
Recognizing the Lisgoold SWM Pond was identified in the AMP as a first priority for maintenance
and retrofit, a detailed design for the maintenance and retrofit of the existing pond to improve its
overall performance and functionality is required. The project is classified as a Schedule A/A+
project within the wastewater projects category, according to the Municipal Class Environmental
Assessment document, meaning an Environmental Assessment is not required, as this project is
pre-approved.
II.TYLin International Canada Inc. is recommended to complete the Detailed Design for
the Maintenance and Retrofit of the Lisgoold SWM Pond
TYLin International Canada Inc. and its team of sub-consultants were previously hired by the City
to undertake the Detailed Design of Abbott Pond Retrofit project in 2017 and the Stormwater
Management Facilities Asset Management Plan in 2019. City staff have had an excellent
experience with TYLin International Canada Inc. throughout these projects, which were completed
within the expected timelines and within budget. The hiring of TYLin International Canada Inc. and
its team of sub-consultants, represents good value as they have the necessary project history,
specifically the technical and existing conditions information of the Lisgoold SWM Pond,
knowledge and expertise.
In accordance with Purchasing Policy Item 10.03, the Manager may obtain the services of a
particular consultant selected by the initiating Director without going through a competitive
process. Where the funds are available in the approved budget and the project or annual cost of a
consulting or professional service assignment is expected to be:
(c) above $50,000 is subject to the additional approval of Council. The initiating Director shall
submit the Report to Council to obtain approval.
Staff are recommending approval of the fee proposal submitted by TYLin International Canada
Inc. for Consulting and Professional Services for the Detailed Design for the Maintenance and
Retrofit of the Lisgoold SWM Pond in the amount $181,359.35 (HST included). It is also
recommended that the total gross project cost of $209,440.00 (HST included) which includes the
consulting fees and other associated costs, and a net project cost of $188,607.00 (net of HST
rebate) be approved.
