CO-OPERATIVE TENDER - CONTRACT NO. D90-4
TOWN OF NEWCASTLE/REGION OF DURHAM
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. That Report TR-51-90 be received;
2. That Contract No. D90-4, tendered jointly with the Region
of Durham for the Construction of Concrete Sidewalks, be
approved, forthwith; and
3. That the funds be drawn from the 1990 Public Works Capital
budget, Account #7212-90006-X, (Page 42).
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Director of Public Works in discussion with Works Staff at the
Region of Durham agreed that significant savings could be realized by
the Town under a co-operative tendering arrangement with the Region of
Durham, for the construction of a 1.5 m wide concrete sidewalk on the
east side of Townline Road South from Kingswood Drive, northerly to
Hwy. #2.
This sidewalk construction was included on the Region's Tender for the
reconstruction of Townline Road south.
The inclusion of this sidewalk in the Region's tender has a definite
cost advantage, in that the contractor performing the road
construction would have the necessary equipment and staff already on
site.
Although the contract conditions include both the Region of Durham's
requirements and the Town of Newcastle's requirements, they are not
independent of each other but are considered as one complete contract.
Therefore, failure to proceed with the sidewalk construction may
affect the total bid price for the Region's portion of the contract.
