BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Co-operative Request for Proposal RFP2007-1 was publicly advertised and invited for the
supply and delivery of janitorial and sanitary paper supplies as required by participating
agencies (City of Pickering, Town of Whitby) and the Municipality of Clarington for a period of
three years with an option to extend for two additional one (1) year terms.
Subsequently six bids were received and reviewed. See schedule A for the list of bidders. One
bid was rejected due non compliance as items were removed from the core pricing list.
As stipulated in the proposal documents, proponents were evaluated based on the following
criteria:
. Product Range and Availability
. Service
. Cost
. Training
. Environmental Programs and Products
. Ordering Ease
. Delivery
The evaluation committee consisting of a representative from the Town of Whitby, City of
Pickering and the Municipality of Clarington met and evaluated all compliant bids using the
above criteria.
As per the request for proposal document, the vendor selection would be made on the basis of
the written proposal, a potential interview and reference checks.
Upon completion of the document review, by the selection committee, two firms, Swish
Maintenance Limited, Peterborough, Ontario and G.H. Wood & Wyant, Pickering, Ontario were
selected for an interview.
Upon completion of the evaluation, the committee's recommendation is to award the contract to
Swish Maintenance Limited as the overall highest scorer. Swish has provided satisfactory
service in the past and is the current incumbent supplier for this contract.

For the information of Council, the Municipality of Clarington paid approximately $90,000.00 to
Swish Maintenance Limited for Janitorial and Sanitary Supplies during 2006. This would equate
to approximately $270,000.00 over the 3 year term.
The required funds are to be drawn for the respective operating budgets
The Director of Finance has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the
recommendation.
It is therefore recommended that the proposal received from Swish Maintenance Limited,
Peterborough, Ontario to provide the various departments of the Municipality of Clarington with
Janitorial and Sanitary Paper Products be accepted and the contract awarded.

Note: The above pricing is shown before tax and is only pricing submitted for the core items for all
participating agencies and does not include any items ordered over the course of the contract.
Items which do not appear on the core item listing have been priced on a "cost plus" basis.
Pricing was adjusted by removing items from the core lists which not all bidders submitted pricing
for. This was done to allow for proper price comparison between the companies.
