2. Analysis
2.1 The tender closed on March 27, 2020.
2.2 Ten bids were received in response to the tender call.
2.3 Of the three companies who downloaded the tender document but chose not to submit
pricing:
One company was a construction association;
One company decided they were unable to bid due to current workload;
One company did not respond to our request for information.
2.4 The bids were reviewed and tabulated by the Purchasing Services Division (see
Attachment 1) and all bids were deemed compliant. The results were forwarded to the
Engineering Department for their review and consideration.
2.5 After review and analysis by the Engineering Department and the Purchasing Services
Division, it was mutually agreed that the references provided by the low bidder did not
demonstrate the relevant experience needed to complete this project and they were
deemed non-compliant. The tender specified that three references should be provided
for work of similar size and nature within the past five years. Purchasing had
discussions to this effect with the low bidder and they were unable to provide three
previous work references of a similar size or capacity. Due to the lack of experience of
the low bidder, it was unanimously agreed by the Purchasing Division and the
