REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council  receive this report for information.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Conseil prenne connaissance du présent rapport.

 

BACKGROUND

 

At the Council meeting held on 8 February 2006, a Motion (Document 1) was passed that "the City of Ottawa Light Rapid Transit Office be directed to provide all members of City Council with a complete inventory of all information, reports, clarifications or documents that have not been made public to date.  The Fairness Commissioner for the Project will review such information (with subsequent disclosure of all public reports or documents) and present to Council at its next meeting an explanation as to why the protected information has not been released publicly." This report responds to that Motion.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Table 1 (Document 2) is an inventory of all the information, reports, clarifications and documents of file with the Light Rail Implementation Division office.  Data therein consists of background information of the existing conditions, structures, features, utilities, properties, etc prior to issue of the Request for Proposals for the North-South Light Rail Transit project, as well as the design parameters as provided by the Environmental Assessment for the project, and, supplemental information, reports etc., developed to further assist the proponents in their preparation of their submissions.  The final few pages of Table 1 list all of the material that is currently available on the City web site http://ottawa.ca/lrt . The list includes an indication from the Fairness Commissioner as to the appropriateness of public release of the information.  The Fairness Commissioner will attend the Council meeting of 22 February 2006, to elaborate on the rationale for the retention or release of information.

 

Most of the information designated for public release as set out in Table 1 is not in bilingual format.  To expedite viewing, PDF files of the material will be created and deposited in a web site that will be administered through Marshall Macklin Monaghan, the engineering consultant firm of record assisting the City of Ottawa during the procurement phase of the North-South Light Rail Transit project.  A link to the data site will be established on the City web page to facilitate access to the information.  The data site should be operational by 01 March 2006.

 

At the Council meeting of 8 February 2006, a Notice of Motion, (Document 3), was filed for consideration at a subsequent meeting.  Both the Fairness Commissioner and Legal Counsel for the project have advised that they will be prepared to report fully on the matter at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting on 8 March 2006. It is noted that this meeting falls within the timeframe during which the submissions for the project will be under review, and therefore the report will offer Council timely advice for deciding appropriate actions pursuant to the items in the Notice of Motion.

 

CONSULTATION

 

No consultation is required for this response to the Motion.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

This response to the Motion has no financial implications.

BRIEFING - PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS – NORTH-SOUTH LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT

 

MOTION

Moved by Councillor D. Deans

Seconded by Councillor D. Holmes

 

WHEREAS City Council has approved the procurement process for the North-South Light Rail Transit, P3 project under a design, build, maintain model;

 

AND WHEREAS in August 2005, a Request for Proposal was issued by the City of Ottawa;

 

AND WHEREAS in November 2005, Council was advised that three consortia were formed following the Request for Qualifications;

 

AND WHEREAS in order for City Councillors to be accountable to the public and to obtain information on the project prior to the award of the contract, they must sign a “Confidentiality Declaration” prepared by the Fairness Commissioner that prevents the public disclosure of a broad range of important information, without limit in time;

 

AND WHEREAS the “Confidentiality Declaration” prohibits Councillors, who are elected representatives of a publicly funded corporation, from having access to non-proprietary information on the project without first signing the declaration;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa Light Rapid Transit Office be directed to provide all members of City Council with a complete inventory of all information, reports, clarifications or documents that have not been made public to date.  The Fairness Commissioner for the Project will review such information (with subsequent disclosure of all public reports or documents) and present to Council at its next meeting an explanation as to why the protected information has not been released publicly.
