Over the past few years, the cut off date imposed by the manufacturers for ordering current year' s vehicles has progressively been moved up earlier in the spring each year. Consequently, there have been times when the Municipal Budget was not approved early enough in the year in order that tenders may be issued and vehicles ordered prior to the deadline . The deadline I imposed for 1994 was early May. Although the cut-off dates for 1995 have not yet been established, increased demand for vehicles is anticipated which will result in an earlier date being imposed. Consistent with the practice over past years on other Municipal Tenders, it is therefore recommended that approval be given for an early tender call for the 1995 vehicles required by the Municipality, in advance of the approval by Council of the 1995 budget . It is proposed that the tenders be advertised prior to the end of January 1995 . i The tendering process requires that Council approve the staff recommended selection, so the final decision in these matters will be by Council Resolution.
