Discussion: As part of the 2016 Sidewalks Capital Budget, Altona Road (Regional Road
#27) New Asphalt and Concrete Sidewalk Installation, from Finch Avenue to Sparrow Circle
(south leg) was approved as a construction project funded by Development Charges.
The Altona Road sidewalk project was bought forward as a request by the community to Ward
Councillors and City staff. New developments around the Finch Avenue and Altona Road
intersection, such as Icon Forest, E. Ovide Holdings and Fairgate Homes have brought new
families to the area.
Shortly after completion and occupancy of these residential developments, pedestrian safety
concerns arose with the absence of sidewalks. One of the primary destinations (southbound) is
Westcreek Public School. Currently, pedestrians use the Altona Road gravel shoulder as the
primary walking corridor, sharing the space with higher volume, higher speed traffic on the
Regional road.
The proposed sidewalk will connect Finch Avenue and Sparrow Circle (south leg) and will be
located on the east side. The proposed 1.8m sidewalk will include both concrete and asphalt
surfaces, with an alignment that will be offset from the east right-of-way boundary. This will
offer the pedestrian the maximum possible safety clear zone from the roadway.
Tender No. T2023-4 was issued on Thursday, May 4, 2023 with a tender closing date of
Thursday, June 1, 2023. Eleven companies submitted a bid for this project. The low bid of
$263,510.35 (HST included) submitted by Avion Construction Group Inc. is recommended for

Subject: Altona Road (Regional Road #27) New Asphalt

approval. The total gross project cost is estimated at $326,765.00 (HST included) with an
estimated total net project cost of $294,262.00 (net of HST rebate).
The approved funding for the Altona Road sidewalk project is insufficient to complete the
works. Based on the tender results and the estimated net project cost, an additional amount of
$114,262.00 will be required: $57,131.00 from the DC – Transportation Reserve Fund and
$57,131.00 from the DC – City’s Share Reserve.
Award of Tender No. T2023-4 to Avion Construction Group Inc. will be conditional upon
receiving the City's Health & Safety form, Certificate of Clearance issued by the Workplace
Safety & Insurance Board, Certificate of Insurance and requisite approvals. The references of
Avion Construction Group Inc. have been reviewed and deemed to be acceptable.
Upon careful examination of all tenders and relevant documents received, the Engineering
Services Department recommends acceptance of the low bid submitted by Avion Construction
Group Inc. for Tender No. T2023-4 in the amount of $263,510.35 (HST included), and that the
total net project cost of $294,262.00 (net of HST rebate) be approved.
