That Council, at its
meeting of 8 September 2010:
a)
Approve the
list of additional Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) projects as detailed in
Document 1, where these additional projects will be funded by recycling of
surplus funds from delivery of the ISF projects that were approved by the
Federal and Provincial Governments on 5 June 2009;
b)
Direct staff
to finalize the official funding request for the additional projects as
detailed on Document 1, and to initiate the projects as soon as approval of the
funding requests has been received; and
c)
Direct the
City Treasurer to increase the
City’s debt authority by $6.13 Million as an interim financing measure and to report back with the identification of
the sources of funding for the City’s share of the projects for Council
approval.
Que le Conseil, lors de sa réunion du
8 septembre 2010 :
a) approuve la liste des projets supplémentaires du fonds de stimulation de
l’infrastructure (FSI) tels qu’ils sont précisés dans le Document 1. Ces
projets seront financés en réinvestissant les surplus du fonds provenant de la
mise en œuvre des projets du FSI approuvés par les gouvernements fédéral et
provincial le 5 juin 2009;
b) donne au personnel des instructions pour qu’il termine la demande
officielle de financement pour les projets supplémentaires décrits dans le
Document 1, et pour qu’il commence la réalisation des projets dès que leur
financement sera approuvé;
c) donne à la trésorière municipale des instructions pour qu’elle augmente
la dette de la Ville de 6.13 millions de dollars, comme mesure de financement
provisoire, et qu’elle prépare un rapport, qui sera soumis à l’approbation du
Conseil, sur les sources de financement qui permettront à la Ville de payer sa
part des coûts des projets.
Council, at its meeting of 25 August 2010, received a status update on the City of Ottawa Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) program. This update indicated that 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. The Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) portion of the ESF program accounts for $30 million of this variance.
Previously, the Department requested permission to use the surplus ISF funds on new projects, but the Program Administrators for the ISF program at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) denied the request. However the Department was advised on 16 August 2010 that there is now an opportunity to apply for new projects using identified savings from under-spending on existing ISF projects.
The eligibility criteria for new projects, includes the following:
§ The
Federal and Provincial contribution for new projects must be fully funded by
savings that have been or will be realized in implementing previously approved
ISF projects;
§ New
projects must meet all ISF eligibility criteria, including the requirement to
be completed by 31 March 2011;
§ Projects
must be enabled by Federal and Provincial funding. To be eligible, a project
must:
o
not have been planned or scheduled to be conducted
within 2010/11;
o
not involve a construction contract awarded prior to
notification of project approval by the governments of Canada and Ontario;
o
not have started construction prior to notification of
project approval by the governments of Canada and Ontario; and
§ Due to
time restrictions, projects that require Environmental Assessments will not be
considered.
Staff have considered potential candidate
projects in the following three categories:
The Infrastructure Services Department has consulted with various departments to identify priority projects for consideration. In addition, discussions were held with the construction industry to determine the feasibility of implementation.
Candidate projects were assessed based on needs, priorities, readiness, constraints such as capacity to deliver (both internally and externally) and ability to complete by 31 March 2011.
The list provided in Document 1 represents projects that could be completed in accordance with the eligibility requirements of the program. The list represents approximately $18.4 million of additional projects. Given the late notice to use identified savings under the ISF program, the extremely tight deadline and imminent restrictive weather conditions, it is not possible to utilize the entire projected savings of $30 million.
The ability to deliver the additional work will be
dependent upon expeditious approvals by OMAFRA, undertaking much of the work by
extensions of existing construction contracts and continuing favourable weather
conditions into late fall.
To maximize the likelihood of success of implementing these
projects, applications have been submitted to OMAFRA for the projects listed in
Document 1. We have indicated that the
projects are subject to Council approval.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
The approved program includes rural road upgrades/operational improvements and culvert replacements.
CONSULTATION
Consultation with various City departments and the construction industry was undertaken to develop the recommended list of projects.
COMMENTS BY THE WARD
COUNCILLOR
The ISF Program is a City-wide program. Consultation with each of the individual Ward Councillors will be carried out by project management staff on a project-by-project basis.
LEGAL/RISK MANAGEMENT
IMPLICATIONS
There
are no legal/risk management impediments to implementing any of the
recommendations 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 wastewater 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
The
City's share of the additional Infrastructure Stimulus Fund projects is
$6.13 million. As an interim measure, debt authority would be increased
by this amount. An analysis of all Economic Stimulus
Fund projects will be carried out subsequent to the program
completion date of March 31, 2011.
At that time, debt authority for the projects with surpluses will
be eliminated; it is anticipated that the authority eliminated will offset
the additional debt authority.
As outlined in Document 1, associated operating impacts are 1 FTE and $100 thousand. These requirements will be brought forward in the 2011 Draft Operating Budget.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Document 1 – Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) – Proposed New Projects
DISPOSITION
Once approved by Council, staff will proceed to implementation of the projects, subject to approval from the Federal and Provincial governments.
Staff will report back to Council on the status of approved projects as part of the Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) status update reports being provided to Council on a quarterly basis, in addition to providing monthly progress status reports.
