THAT the funds expended be drawn from the 199912000 budget allocation for heating of facilities. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: A Co-operative Tender was issued for the supply and delivery of No.2 Domestic Fuel Oil. Affiliated Hall Boards, Museums and Park Boards, were given the option of being included in this tender. Subsequently, the bids were received and tabulated as per the attached Bid Summary, marked Schedule "A". The required funds will be drawn from the 1999/2000 budget allocation for heating of facilities from which there are adequate funds available. The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the recommendation. dul , REPORT NO.: TR-S7-99 PAGE 2 The price tendered represents a price increase of twenty-one (21%) over the 1998/99 prices. Note, with respect to the issue of firm pricing versus non-firm pricing, the host agency for this tender has solicited the opinion of two independert specialists in the field. Both indicated that they feel oil price will not increase significantly over the next while and should in fact top out and begin to decrease slightly. Based on this, it is the recommendation of the co-operative that the low bid be accepted. In comparison to the tendered unit price of $ .2354, the average household price is approximately 70% higher. For the information of Council, the 1998/99 expenditure for this contract was approximately $37,000.00. After further review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing, it is recommended that Ultramar Ltd., Oshawa, Ontario, be recommended for the contract award to supply and deliver No.2 Domestic Fuel Oil, as required by the Municipality of Clarington.
