A committee comprised of representatives from Emergency Services, Operations, and the Fire Fighters Local Union reviewed each of the submissions. Upon review of the proposals, the following items were noted: · The low bidder, Fiba Canning Inc., did not submit the required drawings, and must be rejected; · The second bidder, Donway Ford Sales Ltd., does not meet the required delivery date; · The third bidder, Fort Garry Fire Trucks, did not meet the required engine specifications; and · The fourth bidder, Dependable Emergency Vehicles, did not meet the required specification on the front or rear stabilizer, the coolant hoses and batteries; and did not meet the required delivery date. This bidder also provided an alternate bid in which the proper specification forms were not provided. Therefore, the combination of meeting the required specifications and delivery date, positive feedback from references provided, and after further review of the bids by the committee and Purchasing, it was mutually agreed that the bid from Eastway Emergency Vehicles, Ottawa, Ontario in a amount of $167,893.62 be recommended for the contract award to supply and deliver one (1 ) only Tanker. It is also recommended that the trade-in offered in the amount of $10,000.00 be accepted, as it is staff's opinion that the trade-in exceeds any amount that would be realized at the Regional Auction Sale.
