as the standard transmission is the lower bid, it is recommended
that Option "A" be awarded. This will also provide for consistency
within our arena' s, in the equipment, and any necessary repair
parts used.

The total bid price of $57, 718 . 50 includes G. S .T. of $3 , 513 . 30
which is 100. recoverable. Therefore, the required funds will
actually be $54, 205 . 20 which is within the budget allocation of
$55, 000 . 00 as reflected on Page 290 of the 1997 Community Services
Capital Budget .
The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs
with the recommendation. Queries with respect to department needs,
