City needs $9.5M to finish St. Lawrence Market building

The City of Toronto is poised to drop $9.5 million in emergency spending to keep construction of the St. Lawrence Market north building on track — and a serious internal management issue is partly to blame, a document obtained by CBC Toronto shows.City staff say emergency funding is needed to open the new St. Lawrence Market north building this year. The City of Toronto is poised to drop $9.5 million in emergency spending to keep construction of the St.

The spending is also needed to stop the contractor, the joint venture Buttcon-Limited/The Atlas Corporation , from exercising its right to terminate the deal and delay the project indefinitely."An Emergency is the only course of action available that would allow the City to meet its immediate legislated payment obligations, while mitigating the threat of a stoppage in work and legal action from BA-JV," the document from June 10 states.

"All changes were validated by the project's Contract Administrator and were determined to be legitimate and required to support evolving building needs." Change orders are costs that arise during a construction project that are above and beyond what was initially contracted. In an email, the City of Toronto said they are common on large capital projects.

CBC Toronto asked the city if the employee in question was terminated. The city said it doesn't comment publicly on personnel matters.The north St. Lawrence Market building redevelopment has been years in the making, with construction beginning in 2016 to replace the old, low-slung brick building that most will associate with hosting farmers' markets and antique sales.

Some details about how the building's redevelopment hit this latest setback were revealed at a July 2 meeting of the general government committee.
