The required funding will be drawn from Account #1110-00162-0000,
Parking Lot Reserve Fund.
The base price received from J. J. MacKay is lower by $225 . 00 for
the pay display machine . However, the ticket capacity is lower by
1, 000 and there is not capability for increasing the capacity.
At present there is one MSC ACCENT machine in the Division Street
lot and one CALE MP5005 from MacKay in the Silver Street Lot .
Purchasing the CALE MP102 from the low bidder MacKay would mean the
Municipality would have three different machines which would
consequently increase the operating costs as three different sets
of tickets and spare parts would be required.
The response for service from MSC is very prompt, generally the
next working day. MacKay' s response for service sometimes takes
two to three days and one to three months for service parts .
After further review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing and By-
law, and in view of the above issues, it was mutally agreed that
M. S . C. Electronics, Richmond Hill, Ontario, be recommended for the
contract to supply and install one (1) only M. S.C. Accent Parking
Pay and Display Machine with a second printer for a total price of
$9, 995 . 00 + $1, 797. 00 printer which equals $13, 560 . 80 (including
taxes) as required by the Municipality of Clarington By-law
Department .
The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs
with the recommendation. Queries with respect to department needs,
specifications, etc . , should be referred to the Town Clerk.
The subject firm has previously provided satisfactory equipment and
service for the Municipality of Clarington.
