BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Report #COD-046-07 covering Tender Awards during summer Council recess included
background on the award of Contract #CL2007-35, Supply, Delivery and Installation of Gas
Furnaces at the Hampton Operations Depot at a cost of $117,600.00 (Plus GST). Following
submission of the report a confidential memo was provided advising of a legal issue and
indicating that the project had been placed on hold pending receipt of a legal opinion on the
tendering process and the advisability of cancelling the contract or proceeding.
The Municipality's solicitor has reviewed the circumstances and provided an opinion on the
matter, (confidential letter distributed under separate cover) and recommends a change order
be issued and reduce the number of furnaces at a decreased contract price and the project
proceed.
Due to the urgent nature of this matter, forthwith approval is requested to ensure that the
contract proceeds and the work is completed as early as possible and before the heating
season.
