The other two campuses can- celled include a partnership be- tween Wilfred Laurier University and Conestoga College in Milton and one in Brampton with Ryerson Uni- versity and Sheridan College. The latter two projects were to receive $90 million each, bringing the overall funding cancellation to $305 million. “We promised the people of On- tario to restore accountability and trust in Ontario’s finances,” training, colleges and universities minister Merilee Fullerton said in a state- ment. “Part of that process means making tough decisions about pro- jects across Ontario.” Markham and York Region offi- cials indicated they hope to find a way to continue the campus pro- ject, with an original $253 million budget. The City of Markham had agreed to contribute land, with York Region investing a further $25 mil- lion. “York University is raising critical funds for this important facility,” York Region chair and CEO Wayne Emmerson said in a statement. The Globe and Mail quoted a spokeswoman for Fullerton as say- ing that the ministry is working with the institutions to understand what has been completed “and if there are termination or reasonable wind- down costs.” “Our government would be will- ing to consider a business case for how these projects may proceed in the absence of provincial capital funding,” Stephanie Rae said. In a joint statement, Seneca pres- ident David Agnew and Rhonda Lenton, York University’s president and vice-chancellor, said the provin- cial government informed them of its “unexpected decision” late on Oct. 23. They said that the campus pro- ject is “already well under way,” with the design and development- planning phase completed. “The procurement process to secure a construction firm is nearing comple- tion and construction was set to begin later this fall,” they wrote. “We are committed to working with all involved to determine if there is a path forward that will still meet the post-secondary needs of York Region and its residents,” they wrote.

Editor’s column Your Construction Construction Insurance Your Insurance Leaders Leaders For Over For Over 30 35 Years. Years. Mark Buckshon President, Construction News and Report Group of Companies I’ll be on the road (and in the air) a fair bit more than usual in the next month. There are trips to the West Coast (for an annual Google summit and to visit family in Vancouver) and to Toronto for the Buildings Show Nov. 28 to 30. Between these two travel experiences, my wife and I are heading to New York and then to Singapore, experiencing the longest flight in the world - an 18.5 to 19 hour non-stop taking us al- most literally half-way around the world. (With the 12-hour time difference and the fact that New York is a bit more north of the Equator from Singapore, the shortest route is over the North Pole.) Besides travel endurance bragging rights and some use- ful (and exotic) experiences, can we learn anything about ef- fective construction business management and marketing? To answer the question, consider the communications issue. Or more accurately, the non-issue. With an exception of a few hours over the polar regions, the extremely long Singapore Airlines flight provides Wi-Fi interconnect connec- tivity. It isn’t super cheap or fast, but email will get through. There’s no problem at Google headquarters in California, of course – we’re expected to have our laptops on and tuned in even as we conduct our business. The Buildings Show is a different experience. When I’m on the show exhibit floor, I’ll be without any Internet connec- tivity, because the Metro Toronto Convention Centre uses its monopoly to charge extremely high internet access fees. This isn’t a total problem, because all you need to do is to take the escalator one floor up and you are back in touch with the world. The second point relates to business management and delegation. Our business isn’t very large and I do many jobs that can be delegated. And fortunately, I have the ability to enhance/increase the delegation level so that most of the routine workload will be taken off my plate during the trav- els. The final point relates to cost. These trips aren’t free but they aren’t budget breakers. Google pays my costs to fly to California and Vancouver in economy class, and I’m staying with family in Vancouver. An $80 points ticket allows me to fly home in business class – and I splurged on a paid up- grade for the California flight; after all the trip is almost free otherwise. With Singapore Airlines, premium economy seats are less than $1,200 return, and we’ve found highly-rated hotels at truly reasonable rates. We’ll stay at AirB&B places in Toronto, keeping our costs down there, as well. I think the main costs for this travel will be time and loca- tion stress. However, the travel will likely induce some prof- itable and creative ideas. You can reach Mark Buckshon by email at buckshon@constructionmarketingideas.com.

PAGE 4 – NOVEMBER 2018 – The GTA Construction Report By Chase Associate Publisher, GTA Construction Report It is hard to believe that 2018 is almost over. Time is one thing I wish we were able to save up for a rainy day or just to slow things down. With November approaching as I write the column, I shudder to think of how busy we will be the next two months. To start, we must pre- pare for The Buildings Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from Nov. 28 to 30. Our next com- pany call will be a review of the final touches to get ready. The show al- lows me to meet with many past and current clients, reconnecting in person instead of through the stan- dard email and phone calls that have replaced normal business in- teractions. December for me is a short month to prepare materials and re- ceive advertisers’ artwork before Christmas. It never fails that one or two advertisers miss the deadline and promise to deliver materials be- tween Christmas and the New Year, so the question will be: Do we wait an extra week to go to press or not? The good thing about December is I have the chance to unplug from work for almost a whole week to be ready to hit the ground running in January. My busy season is during the months when the construction industry slows down due to the weather. More people have time to respond to calls or emails during the November to March period, planning for the year’s first six months. What are your holiday season plans? What do you have planned with your family? What work events and parties are in the works? Share how you may be volunteering your time or industry events/parties you will be hosting or attending, and I can provide coverage in the next issue.

Hamilton, neighbouring communities and public agencies switch from Biddingo to eSolutions Group for bids and tenders GTA Construction Report staff writer The City of Hamilton and several other public agencies in the Hamil- ton and Halton region have switched their procurement engine from Biddingo to the Bids&Tenders system provided by eSolutions- Group Inc. The change for Hamilton took place on Oct. 1. City council approved the change in mid-2017 after reviewing options and evaluating five compet- ing responses to a Request for Pro- posals from the city and surrounding communities. The eSolutionsGroup proposal won the competition because of its features and lower costs, both to the public agencies and surround- ing agencies, as well as prospective bidders. All of the competing systems re- quire bidders to cover the costs of submitting their bids, but the Bids&Tenders system proved to be the least expensive, and in fact, ac- cording to city staff, was less costly than Biddingo.com. Bidders can ei- ther sign up for an annual service at $165 per year (where they can ac- cess all available options from dif- ferent purchasers) or pay a $45 one-time fee. Biddingo.com charged $250 per year. City staff determined that 84 per cent of vendors using Bid- dingo.com were also registered with eSolutions, meaning they would have no trouble migrating to the new system (and might save additional money as a result). The city also saves money on the back-end, because of its built in contract management system, sav- ing an estimated $9,605 in hard costs. “With the efficiency of this system and as staff learn to use the system to its fullest, staff also ex- pect to achieve some time savings in reporting in the maintenance of contracts,” said the memo written by Rick Male, Hamilton’s director, fi- nancial services, taxation, and the city’s corporate controller. The system also includes re- sources to manage the city’s Ven- dor Performance Management (VPM) processes, allowing procure- ment staff “to set up an automated process to capture the required vendor performance evaluation forms, as well as any vendor perfor- mance incident forms issued through the term of the contract,” Male wrote. The 10 agencies participating in the new system include the City of Burlington, the Town of Oakville, the Regional Municipality of Halton, the Town of Halton Hills, Hamilton Wentworth District School Board, Hamilton Catholic District School Boar and Sheridan College.

The GTA Construction Report – NOVEMBER 2018 – PAGE 5 PROJECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES General Motors plans 7 acre downtown Toronto complex the site will begin later this month, with construction expected to take two years. The project is designed by Quad- rangle Architects. Province, developer reach air rights deal for $102 million Mimico GO Station redevelopment General Motors is preparing to build a seven-acre complex in downtown Toronto. The development, called the Toronto GM Mobility Campus, will combine research and development facilities with vehicle sales. With frontage along Lakeshore Blvd. East, the south half of the seven-acre property will house a 160,000-sq.-ft. building comprised of a lower level podium that will rise to five storeys, with three wings of- fering panoramic views of Lake On- tario and downtown Toronto. The complex will include offices, R&D facilities for urban mobility, GM vehicle sales and service area, and a public experience area showcas- ing innovations in mobility, includ- ing electric and autonomous vehicles, e-bikes and car-sharing. According to CBC, demolition at PAGE 6 – NOVEMBER 2018 – The GTA Construction Report The provincial government has reached an agreement with a private developer to rebuild the Mimico GO Station in Etobicoke in exchange for development rights above the station. Developer Vandyk will refurbish and enhance the existing site, build- ing a mixed-use project. The government news release did not specify the expected devel- opment value or other details about what will be built on the site. How- ever, CBC news reports the project has an estimated $102 million value. The station will include a new station building, pedestrian tunnels and elevators, refurbished plat- forms and new entrances to the station and below grade parking. In exchange for development rights, Vandyk will pay for all construction costs for the main station building, new parking and Greenway at the station. “We are very excited about the opportunity at Mimico GO Station,” Phil Verster said in a statement. “Bringing a new station into a com- munity at little or no cost to the tax- payer is something that has great potential. It also makes good busi- ness sense. Metrolinx continues to be open to innovative, joint ap- proaches with the private sector that reduce the cost to taxpayers and also provide efficient, safe and affordable transportation options.” Ontario’s NDP asked for greater transparency and for affordable housing to be including in the de- velopment. "Any deal regarding this site, which has been the source of scan- dal in the past, must be absolutely transparent. Furthermore, such a deal must include affordable hous- ing, which is sorely needed in this community," said NDP transit critic Jessica Bell. The scandal Bell referred to was an earlier deal with another devel- oper to construct a 242-unit condo building with direct access to the GO Station. Metrolinx backed out of the deal in 2012, and in 2017, the development was placed into court- ordered readership, after trade con- tractors filed liens on the project, which stalled when it was about 15 per cent completed. About 200 condo buyers were to receive de- posit refunds. PROJECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES EllisDon building $1.2 billion hospital overlooking Humber River Valley West Park Healthcare Centre has broken ground on a massive new hospital construction project in Toronto. The $1.2-billion project will in- clude a new six-storey hospital overlooking the Humber River Val- ley. The hospital, scheduled to open in 2023, will feature 80 per cent of the beds in single-patient rooms, with each inpatient having a private three-piece washroom for improved infection control. The campus will be built on 27 acres. West Park Foundation has launched the $80-million Get Your Life Back Campaign to raise funds for the new hospital. Phase 1 of the campaign will raise $50 million by 2023, with the foundation providing an additional $30 million in support to the new hospital over the next 30 years. EllisDon Infrastructure Health- care has been awarded a fixed-price contract to design, build, finance and maintain the new hospital. WW+P designing two Yonge Subway Extension stations Weston Williamson + Partners says that it will design two of the five new metro stations on the Yonge Subway Extension (YSE) in Toronto and York Region. Yonge St. is the economic and cultural spine of Toronto and York Region and the Line 1-Yonge Univer- sity subway is the busiest rapid transit line in Canada. The YSE will stretch from Finch Station in Toronto north to Richmond Hill, a total of 7.4 kilometres. Both of the WW+P stations, at Clark and Langstaff, will be tunnel/bore construction with box stations. There will be intermodal interchanges at each and at Langstaff there will be parking pro- vision for 2,000 cars. “We are excited to be contribut- ing two stations and their associ- ated urban realm to this fantastic project. By improving connectivity across the Greater Toronto Area, the extension will also unlock thou- sands of new homes and jobs in the area,” senior partner and archi- tecture project director Christian Bocci said in a prepared statement. The YSE is expected to carry 165,000 passengers per day on the latest Toronto Rocket six-car trains. 1-877-738-9178 www.BuildWithSafety.com TRAINERS LOCATED ACROSS ONTARIO. CALL FOR DETAILS.

The project, a two-storey addi- tion and renovation to the college’s Simcoe building, includes more than 33,000 sq. ft. of newly built space and 600 sq. ft. of renovations. Gow Hastings Architects de- signed the project, with GS Wark overseeing construction and UEM Consulting serving as project man- ager. The new space includes six food vendors, seating for 450 people, and student collaborative and study areas. PAGE 8 – NOVEMBER 2018 – The GTA Construction Report College students were wel- comed to the new Student Com- mons with a cake and coffee giveaway, and an inside look at the new facility, which also includes an innovative video wall and a small green-roof. A unique 1,300 sq. ft. student activity room includes glass pivot doors, and a standalone sound and projection system. GS Wark vice-president John Morrone says his general contract- ing team had responsibility for the project’s management, procure- ment and organization. Among the challenges: Maintain- ing full functionality of the college for staff and students while work was ongoing. Part of this challenge, according to Gow Hastings’ designer Hugo Martins, was that the addition con- nects three buildings built over a span of 50 years. “There have been many iterations of evolution of the Welland Campus and while there has been a con- certed effort to connect separate buildings via internal corridors, the space appeared incremental in na- ture, disjointed with a lack of clear circulation wayfinding and access to important services,” he said. “The new space seamlessly connects to the existing corridor system of the college to make this a true hub of activity.” The student commons includes a new centrally located social hub in the heart of campus; with study areas, places to relax, prayer rooms and other support services. “There is a food court and cafeteria with di- rect links to nearby student ser- Design-BiD-BuilD ConstruCtion ManageMent Design BuilD GS Wark Limited has built a well-established reputation for competitive quality construction since first opening our doors in 1955.

The newly constructed façade establishes a “landmark architecture to enhance the entrance to the col- lege to establish a new front door to the revitalized campus,” says Mar- tins. Morrone says expansion focused on student needs and comfort as well as functionality. “The seating is spacious and abundant and, rather than a typical table seating arrange- ment, has more of a comfortable lounge feel.” Finishing specialities including perforated aluminum panels, cedar slat walls, felt accents, and an ex- tensive use of Corian for furniture and wall finishes to create a distinct, and warm feel. “There is also a green roof that has been installed over the kitchen and additional trees have been planted outside to create a really welcoming and inviting space,” he says. Designed to shadow LEED re- quirements, the two-storey glazing and the clerestory provides a sub- stantial amount of natural light. Mar- tins says light fixtures are supported by a daylight harvesting system with photocell control. “Another feature is variable speed air handling units and ceiling fans which will reduce the demand on the HVAC system,” he said.

Here’s how to get started today. Think of how potential and current clients decide to do business with you. Your reputation and experience carry most of the weight – repeat and referral business will always be your most important business-building foundation. Yet, you can help the process along with strategic marketing. Editorial articles, social media feeds, and advertising (including hyperlinks and, if you wish, video), in Ottawa Construction News and Ontario Construction Report will enhance your reputation, magnify your good-will, and allow you to introduce new services as you reach out to potential clients who may have not shared word-of-mouth endorsements. You’ll reach the individuals and organizations you want to reach cost-effectively and with respect for our shared values. Finding new clients is challenging. Earning their respect and retaining them (and winning referrals) is essential.
