That Council receive the Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) Q4 2010 status report.
Que le Conseil prenne connaissance du présent rapport d’étape sur le Programme du fonds de stimulation économique Q4 2010.
Council, at its meeting of 8 December 2009, received an update on the City of Ottawa Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) program and approved receiving future updates on a quarterly basis.
Document 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). Document 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.
Document 3 identifies the approved $8.4 million of additional ISF projects funded by recycling the savings resulting from the under budget delivery of the original ISF program. The Q3 report provided information on the process related to application for additional projects. Approval of 15 additional projects was received on 19 November 2010 and 1 additional project was approved on 19 January 2011.
On 2 December 2010, Prime Minister Harper announced an extension to the ESF program, including projects under the ISF and RInC programs. The completion date was extended from 31 March 2011 to 31 October 2011 for approved projects. At its Special Council meeting of 17 January 2011, Council approved a list of 68 projects for submission to the Province for extension. The list of projects included scope changes for projects under budget that could be undertaken based on the new completion deadline.
The purpose of this 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 fourth quarter 2010.
Performance to Date
a) Original ESF Program
Excellent progress continues to be made on the ESF program. Construction has been initiated on all 115 projects and is completed or substantially completed on 92 of the 115 projects.
With the announcement of the extension, work planned to be completed between 2 December 2010 and 31 March 2011 was assessed to determine whether it could be deferred to be completed more efficiently and cost-effectively after 31 March 2011 without significant impact on the public or other adverse consequences. As a result, a number of projects that would otherwise have been completed by the original completion deadline were deferred to after 31 March 2011.
The status of individual projects is shown on Documents 1 and 2 for the ISF and RInC projects respectively.
b) Additional ISF Projects from Recycling of Savings
There are 16 additional projects that were approved under the ISF program by recycling the savings resulting from the under budget delivery of the original program. Design has been initiated on all 16 projects and tendering has been completed on 7 projects. Construction has been initiated on 4 projects and 1 project has been substantially completed.
The late approvals of the additional ISF projects required that all construction work on these projects would need to be completed over the winter to meet the 31 March 2011 completion date. For many projects, contracts were extended to ensure work could be completed in a timely manner. With the announcement of the extension, the opportunity to defer some weather sensitive operations and reduce impact on facilities was utilized. As a result, construction starts on some projects were delayed; however completion of these projects by the extended deadline of 31 October 2011 is not at risk.
The status of individual projects is shown on Document 3 for the additional ISF projects from recycling of savings.
Program Financial Status
a) Original ESF Program
The total estimated expenditure at completion of the original ESF program is $355 million, which is $46 million under the program budget of $401 million. This represents an overall program positive variance of $46 million, primarily due to favourable tender prices and differences between estimated and actual costs. This estimated expenditure at completion is reduced from the $365 million estimate provided in the previous Q3 results based on reduced risk allowances included in the individual project budgets due to favourable project implementation and progress. This estimated expenditure at completion is being updated on a monthly basis.
The financial results to the end of 2010 are as follows:
The estimated ineligible cost is $15 million and is comprised primarily of property and staff costs. This is reduced from the previous estimate of $25 million mainly because the previous estimate included an allowance of $8 million for work after the 31 March 2011 deadline. With the deadline extension, this work after 31 March 2011 is now eligible. A large share of the 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. In addition, the closure of accounts for ESF projects that existed prior to the ESF program will make additional funding available.
b) Additional ISF Projects from Recycling of Savings
The total estimated expenditure at completion for the additional ISF Projects is $8.4 million.
Financial results to the end of December 2010 are:
The estimated ineligible cost is $0.1 million and is comprised mainly of staff time charges. These costs will be offset by the overall program positive variance.
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.
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_en.html
Ongoing reporting continues to the Province, in accordance with the Contribution Agreements.
Projected Program Status
With the announcement of the deadline extension to 31 October 2011, costs after 31 March 2011 are now eligible for approved projects completed by 31 October 2011. At the time of the announcement of the extension on 2 December 2010, the updated estimate of work that would be incomplete by the 31 March 2011 deadline was forecasted to be $10 million. With the announcement of the extension, a further $5.8 million of work was deferred to after 31 March 2011 for the original program and $2.2 million for the additional projects for a total of $18 million. This work is all scheduled to be complete by 31 October 2011 and therefore will be eligible.
All work for the original ESF program and for all of the additional ISF projects from recycling of savings is expected to be completed in advance of the 31 October 2011 deadline.
If additional scope change work is approved by the Province, the City will make best efforts to complete all of this additional work by the 31 October 2011 deadline. The ability to deliver this additional scope change work by the deadline is dependent upon expeditious approvals by the Province.
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, culturally, socially and environmentally sustainable 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 compromising the needs of future generations.
TECHNICAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no technical implications.
