(CM19 1353), THEREBY INCREASING THE TOTAL EXPENDITURE FROM $4,389,676.22 TO $6,100,073.91, TAXES INCLUDED.

This municipal council decision authorizes an additional expenditure of $1,710,397.69, including taxes, for the construction project of the Pierrefonds-Roxboro Aquatic Complex. The purpose of this additional funding is to adjust the professional fees to reflect the actual costs incurred for the works and to augment the contingency budget. This adjustment is made within the framework of the contract originally awarded to Héloïse Thibodeau Architecte Inc. (decision CM19 1353). Consequently, the total expenditure for the project will be increased from $4,389,676.22 to $6,100,073.91, inclusive of all taxes. The project is managed by the Service de la gestion et planification des immeubles (Real Estate Management and Planning Department) and the Direction de la gestion de projets immobiliers (Real Estate Project Management Directorate). The entire funding for this increase is provided by the City (100%). This decision reflects the need to accommodate the real costs of construction and ensure sufficient financial provision for unforeseen circumstances, thereby facilitating the successful completion of the aquatic complex.
