The Board and Proponents acknowledge that in March 2020 the World Health Organization
declared a global pandemic of the virus leading to COVID-19. The Governments of Canada and
the Province of Ontario responded to the pandemic with legislative amendments, controls,
orders, requests of the public, and requests and requirements to the parties to change their
activities in various ways (collectively, the “Governmental Response”). It is uncertain how long
the pandemic, and the related Governmental Response, will continue, and it is unknown
whether there may be a resurgence of the virus leading to COVID-19 or any mutation thereof
(collectively, the “Virus”) and resulting or supplementary renewed Government Response.
Without limiting the foregoing paragraphs, neither the Board nor the successful Contractor shall
be liable to the other or be deemed to be in breach of this Contract for any default or delay in
rendering performance arising out of: (i) the continued spread of the Virus; and (ii) the
continuation of or renewed Governmental Response to control the spread of the Virus.
Dates or times of performance shall be extended to the extent of delays excused by this clause,
provided that the party whose performance is affected notifies the other promptly of the
existence and nature of such delay shall, so far as practicable, use appropriate efforts to
minimize and mitigate the extent, effect and period of any such delay or non-performance.
Further to the Proponent’s covenants and agreements set out above, and notwithstanding any
provisions in the Contract in respect of force majeure events, the successful Contractor hereby
confirms that it has considered the potential implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its
ancillary effects, including implications of health protection and state of emergency measures
and restrictions put in place by Federal, Provincial, and Municipal Governments, and other
public authorities, and has taken reasonable measures to assess foreseeable and potential
challenges associated with performance of the Contract and delivery of the Work, including, but
not limited to, challenges associated with shortages of or delays in obtaining materials,
equipment and labour forces. The successful Contractor further confirms that its labour forces
are available to commence the Work; that the materials and equipment required for the delivery
of the Work will be available per standard production and delivery timelines without any undue
delay due to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic; and that the successful Contractor has
put in place any necessary contingency plans to materially mitigate or negate the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic on its ability to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract.
2.8 COVID-19 Business Interruption
In response to the spread of infectious disease Covid-19, in March 2020 all businesses in
Ontario other than essential workplaces were required to cease operations under mandatory
closure regulation under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (Ontario). These
measures were reinstated in January 2021 and again in April 2021 with a new Stay-at-Home
Order, issued by the Provincial Government of Ontario, as a result of the on-going COVID-19
Pandemic.
Due to uncertainty regarding the interpretation of essential construction work and services
permitted during any potential mandatory closures, and the broader uncertainty regarding the
