BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
PAGE2
1.1. Request for Proposal RFP2008-9 for the sale of Total Hockey Assets and the Lease of
the Total Hockey Trade Mark was advertised on the Municipality's website, the Ontario
Public Buyers website and also in the local newspaper. In addition, known potential
bidders were contacted by fax to advise of the opportunity.
1.2. In conjunction with the promotion of the sale, viewing days were established to allow
interested parties to inspect the artifacts in preparation for a bid submission.
Arrangements were also made to accommodate interested parties who could not make
the schedule viewing dates.
1.3. Two submissions were received and tabulated as per schedule "A" attached.
2. ANALYSIS
2.1. On review of the bid submissions it was noted that only one firm bid on all lots for sale.
A second bidder offered prices on three lots, # 3, 6 and 8. There were no bids for Lot 25
Total Hockey Trade Mark Licence Agreement.
2.2. The best overall bid received was submitted by Glory Days Sports, Toronto, for Lots 1 to
24 inclusive. The total bid amount before taxes totals $16,437.00. Prior to issuing the
RFP the artifacts purchased from Brian McFarlane were appraised and' valued at
$51,810.00.
2.3. Because the appraisal was conducted in a different format than the actual lots
established for the RFP, it would be extremely difficult to relate the appraised value to
the individual lots with a couple of exceptions. Lot 5 -Skates; Lot 6 -Jerseys and
Crests and Lot 8 -Sticks are readily identifiable and these prices are shown in Schedule
°A" attached for comparison purposes.
2.4. Given the appraised value of $51,810.00 compared to the total bid received of
$16,437.00 (32 % of appraised value), staff are not prepared to recommend the sale of
the artifacts.
REPORT NO.: COD-069-08

2.5. As noted, there was no interest shown in the lease opportunity for the Total Hockey
Trade Mark. As this asset is unique and has a limited application and cannot be sold our
options are limited to offering the trade mark for use on a license or lease basis. Prior to
issuing the RFP there was some interest from a U.S. firm in purchasing the trade mark,
however, as noted, this is not an option. There may be some interest in entering into a
license arrangement but this will entail some further investigation.
3. CONCLUSION
3.1. In view of the poor response to the bid opportunity and the low return on investment,
staff is recommending that the RFP be cancelled and the bidders be so informed with a
return of all surety deposits.
3.2. Staff is proposing to place the collection in storage and undertake a review of the options
for consideration and will report back to Council with further recommendations on
disposition of the collection.
3.3. With respect to the trade mark, staff is recommending that the Purchasing By-law be
waived and staff be authorized to pursue licensing opportunities on an informal basis
with a report to be provided on the outcome.
3.4. Queries with respect to the collection and its storage etc. should be referred to the
Director of Community Services.
3.5. This report has been reviewed for recommendation by the Purchasing Manager and the
appropriate department and circulated as follows:
