with conditions there existing, shall in no way relieve him from any obligations
' with respect to this bond or to the Contract.
' 28. Subsurface Conditions

It is hereby expressly agreed that the Consultant or Owner shall not in any
circumstances whatsoever be under any liability whatsoever to the

' Dear Ms. Birkett:
I have reviewed the tender submissions of Snyder Construction, KingWest Landscaping, Jeffery G.
Williams Construction, Rutherford Contracting, and Partak Limited. I have prepared a comparison
spreadsheet and found that the lowest tenderer, Snyder Construction is in order. I have also called
references relating to Snyder Construction and I have been advised that he is a contractor having
high standards and a high quality of work. Snyder Construction, however, has no experience in
playground construction nor is he a member of Landscape Ontario. Nevertheless, he feels he can do
' the work and since he has built several buildings it appears he can. Furthermore, he is working with
Bryden Landscaping, who is a recommended Landscape Contractor.
Nevertheless, the contract is above the budget and I would recommend the following to bring the
contract in line with the budget.
' • Delete 2 benches (item 6) for a saving of $ 720.00
' • Delete 1 trash receptacle (item 7) for a saving of $ 450.00
• Delete the requirement for snow fencing around the existing trees for a saving of $ 2,220.00
• Sub-total $57,653.00
• G.S.T. $ 4,035.00
' • Total amount to the contractor $61,688.71
• Contingency $ 600.00 t
' instead of the 10% contingency
Total Project $62,288.71
' LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING&RECREATIONAL PLANNING
Due to, the contractor's qualifications and knowledge, and straight foreword nature of this project, I
' feel that the Contingency may not be required in this case.
RECOMMENDATION that Synder Construction be awarded the project as per the above notes.
Sincerely,

' leaves or other debris prior to paving. Ensure surface is free of standing
water.
' 3.2. Installation

satisfactory, at the option of the Consultant, the edge may be
repaired by sawcutting to a 450 edge to the required line. Cut edge must be
painted with liquid asphalt.
' 13 After final rolling, surfaces shall be smooth and true to the specified grade
and crown with the thickness of the courses varying no more than 6mm from
that shown on the drawing. At the option of the Consultant,
