Award of contract for data consulting services to map and analyze agri-food and manufacturing assets. Moved by: Jennifer McKelvie Seconded by: Ronald Chopowick THAT Contract #10006582 for data consulting services for the Golden Horseshoe Food and Farming Alliance (GHFFA) be awarded on a preferred source basis to 4DM Inc. at a total cost not to exceed $130,000, plus 10% contingency, plus HST, to be expended as authorized by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff; THAT the contract be subject to terms and conditions satisfactory to TRCA staff and, as necessary, solicitor; AND FURTHER THAT authorized officials be directed to take the necessary action to implement the contract including the signing and execution of documents. CARRIED BACKGROUND The Golden Horseshoe Food and Farming Alliance, working through TRCA as its operating agent, in partnership with the Economic Development Officers in Golden Horseshoe municipalities and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, including Region of Niagara, City of Hamilton, Region of Halton, Region of Peel, City of Toronto, Region of York, Region of Durham, Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and TRCA, wishes to continue to collect data in order to inventory and map the assets of the agriculture and food sector in the Golden Horseshoe. In 2013, GHFFA launched the development of the Agrifood Asset Mapping Database in order to inventory and map the assets of the agriculture and food sector in the Golden Horseshoe. By developing the map of producers, processors, distributors and marketing infrastructure, the value of this sector in the area will be clearly demonstrated in relation to the provincial economy. In addition, gaps that exist within the food and farming infrastructure can be identified through synthesis of the information. These gaps create barriers to growth and once identified will be used to develop and implement strategies to strengthen and grow the food and farming cluster of the Golden Horseshoe. Following the successful implementation of the Agrifood Asset Mapping Database across 36 regional municipalities, counties and cities across the Province of Ontario, the Manufacturing consortium consisting of 31 jurisdictions led by Economic Development Council of Ontario (EDCO) was formed to collect data in a similar manner for manufacturing. The data collected is from a variety of sources including municipal employment surveys and business listings, and it is open and “real time” as this data is collected on an annual basis. Overtime, it has become evident that the two databases (Agrifood Asset Mapping and EDCO Manufacturing
