That Council receive the Economic Stimulus Fund (ESF) Q1 2011 status report.
Que le Conseil prenne connaissance du présent
rapport d’étape sur le Programme du fonds de stimulation économique Q1 2011.
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. These additional ISF projects were approved in November 2010 and January 2011.
Council, at its meeting of 17 January 2011, approved a list of projects for submission to the Province for extension to the new completion deadline of 31 October 2011. The list of projects included scope changes to include additional work for projects under budget 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 first quarter 2011.
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 101 of the 115 projects.
Throughout the winter, construction operations required to complete each remaining project were assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they could be completed more efficiently and cost-effectively after 31 March 2011, subject to there being no significant impact on the public, no risk of missing 31 October 2011 completion date; and no other adverse consequences.
As a result, a number of projects that would otherwise have been completed by the original completion deadline were extended to after 31 March 2011. Likewise, the cost of work required to be completed after 31 March 2011 has increased, however this is without any risk of missing the 31 October 2011 deadline.
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 14 projects. Construction has been initiated on 13 projects and 3 projects have been completed or substantially completed.
Similar to the original program, construction operations required to complete each of the additional projects were assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they should be deferred to take advantage of the better weather conditions or other benefits offered by the extended deadline. 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, inclusive of $5 million of additional work carried out by scope changes that were approved in 2010. This total expenditure of $355 million is $46 million under the program budget of $401 million. This overall program positive 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 31 March 2011 are as follows:
Staff have been working closely with suppliers to
ensure that invoices for completed work are submitted and processed in accordance
with invoicing requirements imposed by OMAFRA and MTC. These requirements
include invoicing deadlines for work completed to 31 March 2011, for which
staff are making every effort to ensure compliance.
The estimated ineligible cost is $15 million and is comprised primarily of property and staff costs. A large share of the ineligible costs is comprised of 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 $7.6 million which is $0.8 million below the budget of $8.4 million for these projects.
Financial results to 31 March 2011 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 (MTC) for the RInC program on the implementation of the programs and associated requirements of the Contribution Agreements.
In March 2011, approvals of projects for extension to the new deadline of 31 October 2011 were received as follows:
Twelve RInC projects had been submitted for extension, however two projects were not approved by MTC because the projects had been completed and the required final reports had been submitted (Hornet’s Nest Fieldhouse Expansion and Joshua Bradley Park Lighting). The extensions, which had been submitted to allow proposed scope changes to be carried out, were therefore not approved.
In March 2011, following approval of the extensions, OMAFRA and MTC began accepting scope change applications to carry out additional work of similar nature for projects under budget. Scope change applications were submitted in March 2011 as follows:
Only one scope change approval has been received to date. Staff are consulting with the program administrators at OMAFRA and MTC to respond to all enquiries concerning scope changes as promptly as possible to make every effort to expedite the scope change approvals.
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
As noted previously, some construction operations have been deferred to take advantage of the deadline extension, and therefore the cost of work scheduled between 31 March 2011 and 31 October 2011 has increased compared to previous projections. However 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.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
