CL98-11, ONE (1) ONLY FLUSHER WATER TANK
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report TR-61-98 be received;
2. THAT Raglan Industries Inc., Oshawa, Ontario, with a total bid
in the amount of $29,900.00 (including taxes) being the lowest
responsible bidder meeting all terms, conditions and
specifications of Tender CL98-11, be awarded the contract to
supply one (1) only Flusher Water Tank, as required by the
Municipality of Clarington, Department of Public Works; and
3. THAT the required funds be provided from the 1998 Public Works
Equipment Reserve Account #2900-00010-0000.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
Tenders were publicly advertised and invited for the supply and
delivery of one (1) only Flusher Water Tank, as required by the
Department of Public Works.
Subsequently, one tender was received and tabulated as follows:
Raglan Industries Inc.
Oshawa, Ontario
$29,900.00

TENDER CL98-11

After further review and analysis of the tender by Public Works and
Purchasing, it was mutually agreed that Raglan Industries Inc.,
Oshawa, Ontario, be recommended for the contract to supply and
deliver one (1) only Flusher Water Tank, to the Municipality of
Clarington, as required by the Department of Public Works.
The required funds, in the amount of $29,900.00, will be provided
from the approved 1998 Public Works Equipment Reserve Account
#2900-00010-0000, as reflected on Page 214, Item 2, in the 1998
Draft Capital Budget. The total bid of $29,900.00 exceeds the
approved budget of $26,000.00 by $3,900.00, less approximately
$1,000.00 for the G.S.T. rebate which equals $2,900.00. It is
therefore recommended that the additional funds in an approximate
amount of $2,900.00 also be drawn from the Public Works Equipment
Reserve Account #2900-00010-0000.
For the information of Council, in addition to advertising, four
(4) area firms were invited to submit a bid. However, Raglan
Industries Inc., was the only firm able to manufacture the required
tank.
The subject firm has previously provided satisfactory service for
the Municipality of Clarington.
