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.
