SALE OF SURPLUS MAI COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
In accordance with the established policies and procedures, Sale,
by Quotation SD92-2 was advertised and issued, inviting bid
submissions . In addition, a letter advising of the sale was sent
to forty-five (45) municipalities, known to have MAI, computer
equipment. No response was received from either request.
Subsequently, staff contacted the following companies with
proposals being submitted as follows:
Bidder Total Bid Amount
MAI Canada Ltd. $ 1,575. 00
Markham, Ontario
Banwell Computers Inc . $ 500.00 ( 15 terminals
Gormley, Ontario only)
Based on the prices received for used computer equipment at
previous years ' Regional Auction sales, it is staff's opinion
that the price offered by MAI Canada Ltd. is in excess of any
amount that would be received should this equipment be sent to
the fall Regional Auction Sale.
After review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing and the
Systems Manager, it was mutually agreed that the high bid from
MAI Canada Ltd. , Markham Ontario, be accepted and that the monies
received be credited to the Treasury Miscellaneous Revenue
Account #6400-00002-X.
