Subject: Consulting Services for City Centre Transportation Master
Plan Study Request for Proposal No. RFP2021-7 Page 3
Discussion: As part of the 2022 Engineering Services – Administration Current
Budget, the City Centre Transportation Master Plan Study was approved as a project.
As per the City of Pickering “Detailed 20 Year Population Forecast” Planning document,
Pickering’s population is anticipated to increase from 94,941 (year 2020) to approximately
153,445 by year 2040. One of the key mechanisms for providing a high quality of life for
residents of all ages, incomes and abilities, is a well-planned, sustainable transportation
system that can accommodate growth.
Pickering City Centre is anticipated to experience significant long-term redevelopment
including residential, commercial, office, and recreational uses. As a result of all the future
growth in the City Centre from Brock Road to Whites Road, the Ministry of Transportation
requires the City to conduct a comprehensive transportation study to assess the impact of all
future developments on the Highway 401 interchanges located at Brock Road and Whites
Road, and the partial interchange at Liverpool Road. The Region of Durham will take an active
role in this study as the redevelopment opportunities will affect Regional roads.
A consultant is required to carry out the comprehensive Transportation Impact Study (TIS) for
the short term (2031) and the long term (2041) horizon years. The study area is bounded by
Whites Road, Kingston Road, Brock Road and Bayly Street. This includes the redevelopment
lands on the west side of Whites Road and the north side of Kingston Road. The consultant
will also provide a Transportation Network Review from Brock Road to Whites Road, based
on the TIS recommendations.
Proposal No. RFP2021-7 was issued on October 26, 2021 and closed on December 7, 2021.
The Evaluation Committee consisting of staff from the Engineering Services Department and
the City Development Department, reviewed and evaluated the eight proposals received using
criteria outlined in the Terms of Reference.
The City received submissions from the following consulting firms:
•AECOM
•CIMA
•GHD
•HDR
•McIntosh Perry
•Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited
•VAND Consulting Inc.
•TraffMobility
Proposals were evaluated based on the consultant’s experience on similar projects, their
understanding of the project, proposed work plan and deliverables, project team overview,
quality of their references, quality of their proposal and their pricing. The top three ranked
companies were requested to provide a presentation of their proposal to the Evaluation
Committee. The presentations were evaluated and scored accordingly. Presentation scores
were added to the proposal scores resulting in an overall score for each of the top three

ranked companies. Paradigm Transportation Solutions Limited received the highest average
score, and is recommended for award.
The award of RFP2021-7 to the top ranked consultant, Paradigm Transportation Solutions
Limited will be conditional upon receiving the signed City’s Health & Safety form, a Certificate
of Insurance and requisite approvals.
Upon careful examination of all proposals and relevant documents received, the Evaluation
Committee recommends acceptance of Proposal No. RFP2021-7 submitted by Paradigm
Transportation Solutions Limited in the amount of $290,636.00 (HST included) and that the total
net project cost of $293,134.00 (net of HST rebate) be approved.

Report to
Executive Committee
Report Number: ENG 07-22
Date: April 4, 2022
From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Amendments to the Traffic and Parking By-law 6604/05
-Proposed Change to Existing Stopping Restrictions, Amberlea Road and
Highview Road
-File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1.That the attached draft by-law be enacted to amend Schedule "1", No Stopping, to By-
law 6604/05 to provide for the regulation of stopping restrictions on highways or parts of
highways under the jurisdiction of The Corporation of the City of Pickering, specifically to
modify the hours of the stopping restrictions on Amberlea Road and Highview Road from
8:00 am to 4:00 pm, to 7:30 am to 4:30 pm to capture the existing school hours; and,
2.That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be authorized to take the necessary
actions as indicated in this report.
Executive Summary: The Durham Catholic District School Board modified the start and
dismissal times of St. Mary Catholic Secondary School to 10:00 am and 4:00 pm respectively.
The existing stopping restrictions on the west side of Amberlea Road, and on both sides of
Highview Road, adjacent to the school, are currently from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to
Friday, September to June. This results in vehicles parking on both sides of these roads
causing increased congestion, specifically at the school’s dismissal time. To alleviate this,
Engineering Services staff recommends that the stopping restrictions be revised to 7:30 am to
4:30 pm, Monday to Friday, September to June, which is similar to other schools in Pickering.
This will ensure there is reduced congestion from school traffic and parking on these streets.
Financial Implications: The replacement of No Stopping signs can be accommodated
within the 2022 Roads Current Budget.
Discussion: The Durham Catholic District School Board changed the school bell
start and dismissal times at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School from 9:00 am and 3:00 pm in
the 2020/2021 school year, to 10:00 am and 4:00 pm in the 2021/2022 school year.
Currently, the stopping restrictions on the west side of Amberlea Road, and on both sides of
Highview Road, adjacent to the school, are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday,
September to June. These stopping restrictions, specifically in the afternoon, do not fully
capture the school dismissal time, resulting in vehicles parking on both sides of these roads
causing increased congestion, and subsequent complaints from the area residents, bus

drivers, and parents/guardians. These concerns came to the attention of Engineering Services
staff in February, when the travelled part of the road was narrowed due to the snowbanks, and
acceptable on-street parking was more difficult to find.
The No Stopping signs on the east side of Amberlea Road were previously removed to allow
for student pick-up and drop-off when St. Mary Catholic Secondary School designated the front
loop of the school, off of Whites Road, for buses only.
To alleviate the congestion on Amberlea Road and Highview Road, Engineering Services staff
recommends that the stopping restrictions be revised to 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to
Friday, September to June, which is similar to other schools in Pickering. This will ensure there
is reduced congestion from school traffic on these streets, and that any future modifications to
the bell times for St. Mary Catholic Secondary School will be captured within the proposed
restricted stopping times.
The stopping restrictions on Amberlea Road and Highview Road are shown graphically in
Attachment #1. The draft by-law amendment to Schedule “1”, Stopping Restrictions of By-law
6604/05 is provided in Attachment #2.

Subject: Garbage Packer with Crane – Replacement Page 3
COVID-19 has had a negative global impact on the automotive industry worldwide and this
purchase is a prime example of inflated costs that we are now beginning to see in this market.
The purchase of the same unit in 2019 was $154,190.00. This represents a 51 percent
increase in a three-year period when typical inflation rates in the industry are approximately 2.2
percent per year.
The purchase of this garbage packer is required to replace unit #762, which is a ten-year-old
Ford F350 at the end of its economic life cycle. Two garbage packers are essential equipment
to allow Public Works to deliver the level of service needed for the efficient pick up and
disposal of garbage throughout the City. Although this tender is significantly above budget, the
replacement of unit #762 is essential as the existing vehicle is at end of life and no backup
vehicle is available should the existing vehicle breakdown or require extensive repairs.
Public Works’ staff recommend approval of additional funds to proceed with this purchase to
avoid the uncertainty of re-tendering, in an inflationary market, and ensure delivery time to
provide continuity of service to the residents of Pickering. The maintenance of parks and
property, and garbage collection and disposal in particular, is a high priority for residents and
staff that needs to be supported by two reliable and effective garbage packers.
