TENDER WR2-95, CO-OPERATIVE TENDER
The tendered prices from Miller Paving Limited and Canadian
Protective Products Inc . reflect approximately a 27 . 5-. increase and
a 11 . 5. increase respectively over those tendered in 1994 .
Increased prices for flaked calcium chloride are attributed to a
shortage of rock salt and since calcium chloride is used as a back
up source, demand increased and the raw material supplier could not
keep up with the demand thus prices increased.
Increase in the cost of liquid calcium could be attributed to the
prior 3 year price war with US Chemical firms entering the Ontario
Marketplace . Ontario firms can no longer compete with the low
pricing and have had to take into account increased costs to
maintain equipment and haulage costs from the dock. However, the
price component attributed to delivery and application decreased
from the 1994 unit cost .
Both the subject firms have previously performed satisfactorily for
the Municipality of Clarington.
