COMMITTEE No. ADM09-013 SUBJECT: Retention of Services, Detailed Design and Public Consultation Services — Nokiida Trail Extension, North of St John's Sideroad, West of Yonge Street FROM: Neil Garbe, Chief Administrative Officer DATE: October20, 2009 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company be retained to .provide continuing public consultation and detailed design for the Nokiida Trail extension north of St. John's Sideroad; east of Yonge Street in the amount of $29,887.50 plus GST as a sole source as provided for in the Purchasing By-law. THAT the Mayorand Clerk be authorized to execute an agreement to implement the above recommendations if required. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this report is to seek approval of a sole source contract to retain Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company for public engagement services and detailed design forthe completion of the Nokiida Trail link between Newmarket and Aurora, north of St. John's Sideroad, east of Yonge Street. BACKGROUND The Town presented a proposed trail alignment earlier this year to the residents for the completion of the Nokiida Trail link between Newmarket and Aurora, north of St. John's Sideroad, east of Yonge Street. The proposed alignment met with unexpected opposition, primarily from the residents of Hadley Grange. The major concerns were the adverse effects on the ecosystem of the McKenzie Marsh, potential safety issues resulting from locating the trail in close proximity to the apartment complex, noise and other issues. In response to these issues, staff enlisted the help of Robb Ogilvie of.Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company to facilitate constructive dialogue between staff and the residents. Specifically, Mr. Ogilvie was engaged to better define and address the issues as well as explore route alternatives that could achieve the objective of completing the link between Aurora and Newmarket. The process of constructive engagement with the residents of Hadley Grange was -25- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA - October 20, 2009 ITEM # 3 - 2 October 20, 2009 -2- Report No. ADM09-013 successful. Allowing the residents to share their issues and concerns in a constructive manner facilitated open communication that had previously threatened the project. There is now general consensus around a particular route alternative (see Attachment 1). COMMENTS Engaging Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company as an impartial, third party to as in the public engagement has been successful. The recommendation coming out of the process is to initiate implementation of the preferred alternative while maintaining the cooperative spirit that has been fostered. Staff is now recommending that we move to the detailed.design phase applying this collaborative approach. It is also recommended that Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company be retained to complete this work. It is important to note that the project has not been fully approved by the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority (LSRCA). As such it will be necessary to submit an application to LSRCA for the proposed trail. Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company are very familiar with this process and they will assist in guiding the Towns application through the approvals process. Robb Ogilvie has built a high level of trust and credibility through the public engagement phase of this project. Retaining Mr, Ogilvie and his team through this phase of the project will allow this trust and credibility to continue uninterrupted. The Town would also capture an advantage by using data already gathered by Mr. Ogilvie in the preliminary phase of this project. The proposed scope of work is attached. The portion of the trail in Newmarket is currently under construction. ALTERNATIVES TO THE RECOMMENDATION Council could direct that staff proceed with the detailed design and public consultation applying a.full RFP process. 2. Council could direct that the project not proceed to the next phase. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Typically the detailed design phase of a capital project accounts for 10% of the overall project budget. The overall budget for this project is $335,000.00 which includes an $85,000.00 grant from York Region. The trail connection is a 90% Development Charge funded project. The proposed upset limit of $29,887.00 (plus GST) for this phase of the project is in line with the general guideline of 10% of the overall project costs. -26- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA - October 20, 2009 ITEM # 3 -.3 October 20, 2009 -3- Report No ADM09-013 CONCLUSIONS' Ogilvie, Ogilvie & Company should be retained to provide continuing public consultation and detailed design for the Nokiida Trail extension north of St. John's Sideroad, east of Yonge Street in the amount of $29,887.50 plus.
