Économique – rapports d’Étape |
That Council receive this Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) status update report.
Que le Conseil prenne connaissance du présent
rapport d’étape sur le Programme du fonds de stimulation économique.
Council, at its meeting of 8 December 2009, received a status update on the City of Ottawa Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) program and approved receiving future updates on a quarterly basis.
Attachment 1 identifies the approved $375.8 million of Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) projects comprised of transit, pedestrian and cycling, renewal and growth initiatives ($358.5 million) and cultural initiatives ($17.3 million). Attachment 2 identifies the approved $25.6M of community recreational infrastructure projects under the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Program. The ISF and RInC programs combine to form the $401 million ESF program.
The purpose of the report is to provide an update on the status of the ESF Program delivered by Infrastructure Services Department based on results to the end of the second quarter 2010.
Performance to Date
There are 115 projects approved under the Economic Stimulus Fund Program as listed in Attachments 1 and 2. Progress to the end of June 2010 is as follows:
(a)
Design
Design work has been completed on all projects.
(b)
Tendering
The Department continues to monitor tender results. Overall, the tender results have been favourable and there are no indications of significant price increases due to the volume of municipal work available for the construction industry.
(c) Construction
Construction is underway on 88 of the 115 projects (76%) and those active projects have a total budget of $389M of the $401M program budget (97%). Projects where construction has not started are scheduled to be completed during the late summer and fall 2010.
Construction has been completed on 25 of the 115 projects (22%) and those projects have a total budget of $13.0M of the $401M program budget (3.2%).
Program Financial Status
For the $401 million program, the total estimated expenditure at completion is approximately $370 million resulting in an overall program positive variance of $31 million. This variance is primarily due to favourable tender prices and differences between estimated and actual costs. This estimated expenditure at completion is being updated on a monthly basis.
The financial results to the end of June 2010 are as follows:
The estimated ineligible cost is $25 million. This includes property, staff costs and work that may occur after the 31 March 2011 deadline, estimated at approximately $5M (1.2% of total program budget). The majority of ineligible costs are property costs associated with growth projects and as such would be eligible to attract additional Development Charge (DC) funds. Some of these ineligible costs will be offset by the program positive variance indicated previously. In addition, the closure of accounts for ESF projects that existed prior to the ESF program will make additional funding available.
The Treasurer has been given the delegated authority to make any financing adjustments to the ESF projects as required and will do so accordingly during the implementation of the ESF program. The Treasurer will report back on financing adjustments made in support of ESF, as required.
Staff are continuing to work closely with the Program Administrators at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) for the ISF program and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for the RInC program on the implementation of the programs and associated requirements of the Contribution Agreements.
Staff have explored opportunities that have allowed the City to undertake additional work (approximately $5 million) or modified project scope within the approved project budgets to maximize utilization of the available funding, as follows:
In addition, a number of ESF projects have been expanded to include work approved under the City’s funded Capital Program and coordinated work with other agencies. The additional work included with ESF projects is approximately $20M.
Program Management and
Reporting
Staff are continuing to provide ongoing reporting to Council, including monthly project status reports. ESF project information is also available on the online map prepared using Google technology. The map is available on the City web site at: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/construction/map/index_enhtml.
Ongoing reporting continues to the Province, in accordance with the Contribution Agreements.
Projects with Challenges
Implementation of the overall program is proceeding very well. The report to Council of 12 May 2010 described two projects where challenges were being experienced:
These projects represent $112.7M of work. All approvals are in place and construction is proceeding in full force. The challenge is related to the sheer magnitude of work that must be completed by 31 March 2011. It is estimated that approximately $3.5 million (3.1%) may not be completed by the deadline for these two projects.
In addition, it is estimated that approximately $1.5 million of work on various projects may not be completed by the deadline. This includes such work as final lift of asphalt and landscaping that are weather sensitive operations.
The Department continues to actively undertake and review opportunities to strategically accelerate the projects.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The approved program includes rural pathways and rural road upgrades/operational improvements.
CONSULTATION
The original list of infrastructure projects were reviewed and amended by Council prior to being finalized and submitted to the Federal and Provincial Governments.
Public consultation has been carried out on a project-by-project basis, when required or deemed necessary.
COMMENTS BY THE WARD
COUNCILLOR
The ESF Program is a City-wide program. Consultation with each of the individual Ward Councillors is being carried out by project management staff on a project-by-project basis.
LEGAL/RISK MANAGEMENT
IMPLICATIONS
There are no legal/risk management impediments to receiving the information in this report.
CITY STRATEGIC PLAN
The Council approved program is in accordance with the objectives of the city’s Official Plan and City’s Strategic Plan.
These projects follow the City’s long-term goal to create a community that is economically, socially and environmentally viable for today and for generations to come. By investing in our roads and clean water infrastructure, increasing accessibility to public and pedestrian transportation and creating an enhanced cultural and social network the City is improving the quality of life for today’s residents without comprising the needs of future generations.
TECHNICAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no technical implications.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications.
