1049819-271100 - Commissioning Agent Services for Fuel Cell Integration

Background
The Client, which is an agency of the Ontario Government, is a Crown Corporation owned by the
Province of Ontario and established by the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation Act,
2011. Infrastructure Ontario provides customer focused real estate services to the Ontario
Government, including strategic portfolio management, asset management, property and land
management, and capital projects.

1.2.1 Project Background
Infrastructure Ontario initiated a pilot project to integrate a Fuel Cell power generation at the
Brampton Courthouse with reclamation of the waste heat in the most efficient manner.
The goal of the pilot project is overall GHG reduction with better return on capital investment. As
part of the long term carbon neutral goal, it is critical as an outcome of this project, that the
stakeholders get familiarise with the overall implementation, use of technology and lifecycle
operation and maintenance costs, so that a long term strategy for future roll out of similar projects
at IO managed properties could be assessed in detail.

The Fuel Cell shall be designed and installed in a manner that is visible and viewable for
educational purposes. Informational display area around the fuel cell and/or most feasible space
elsewhere within the courthouse building with details on fuel cell technology operation and energy
generation is part of the project scope.

IO has procured SysEne consulting Inc. to complete a preliminary Fuel Cell Integration Study for
the Brampton Courthouse. The report was completed in Feb 2018 along with the initial field
review and analysis as attached in Appendix N.

The study highlights the existing systems and a brief on integrating future fuel cell technology to
generate power and heat to be utilized by the building. The independent Commissioning Agent
(CxA) shall work in close coordination with the project Prime Consultant to verify the finding in the
report and further investigate the existing systems to develope Owner Project Requirement,
which will establish basis of design for the Prime Consultant (which will be engaged separately by
Colliers Project Leaders).

SysEne also provide an informational presentation on the fuel cells energy generation to IO as
attached in Appendix O (for info only).
