Tender No. T2023-5 Page 3
The net costs for the detailed design and approvals amounting to $188,607.00 were approved by
Council (ENG 13-22, Resolution #903/22) and awarded to TYLin International Inc. The budget
available reflects these already committed costs. The additional sum of $93,586.00 is to be funded
from the SWM Reserve Fund.
Discussion: The City of Pickering hired TYLin International Canada Inc. (TYLin), formerly
known as The Municipal Infrastructure Group Ltd. (TMIG), in June 2019 to undertake the
Stormwater Management Facilities Asset Management Plan (AMP). The project was awarded
through RFP-3-2019.
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 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
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.
In 2022, Council Resolution #903/22 (ENG 13-22) approved the proposal submitted by TYLin
International Canada Inc. (TYLin) to undertake the detailed design and approvals for the Lisgoold
SWM Pond Retrofit project. Staff recommends continuing with TYLin to undertake the contract
administration, construction supervision and certification works associated with Tender No.
T2023-5 Lisgoold SWM Pond Retrofit, as set out in the fee proposal dated May 4, 2023 in the
amount of $72,740.00 (HST excluded). The hiring of TYLin 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 Retrofit, 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.
