In the essence of time, tenders were advertised in the Canadian Statesman only.
In addition, three (3) area contractors were invited to submit a bid.
Subsequently tenders were received and tabulated as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount
Bennett Paving and Materials Limited $ 88'274.09
Oshawa, Ontario
The fact that there was only one (l) bid submitted is a result of a busy
construction season, as well as a tight work schedule needed in order to have
the work completed in time for the official opening of the New Administrative
Facility.
The low bid of $88'274.09 is well within the budget allocation of $180,000.00.
Of the $180,000.00' $45,000.00 has already been committed to bury the Hydro
lines and $35'000.00 has been committed for the construction of the sidewalk on
the west side of Temperance Street. Of The $88'274.09v $37,394.52 is the Town
of Newcastle's share and $50,879.57 is the Region of Cmrbam"o share.
The estimated fee for the consulting services is $5'600.00' which brings the
/
total required funds to $93,874.09, Ieea the Region's portion of $50,879.57.
The engineer's estimate for the project was $39vI40.00.
& tentative start date, if approved would be June 13, 1988 with completion
by July 8, 1988. It is therefore recommended that the contract be awarded
forthwith.
The Treasurer has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the
recommendation. Queries with respect to department needs, specifications, etc.

Dear Mrs. Birkett:
Re: Contract T88-14, Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, Temperance Street,
Bowmanville.
Quotations for the reconstruction of the subject street (including Region of
Durham Work) were invited from contractors listed as follows:
Miller Paving, Markham,
Harnden & King Construction Limited, Cobourg
Bennett Paving & Materials Limited, Oshawa
The construction project was also publicly advertised in the Bowmanville
Statesman on May 25, 1988.
A quotation from Bennett Paving & Material Limited in the amount of $88,274.09
was received at 10:00 A.M. , Friday, June 3, 1988. The engineers estimate was
calculated at $99,140.00. We have checked the quotation and hereby confirm it
is acceptable as submitted.
I am advised that Miller Paving and Harnden & King declined to submit a
quotation due to a current heavy workload. Work is tentatively scheduled to
commence on Monday June 13 and be completed by July 8, 1988.
The low bidder Bennett Paving & Materials Limited has satisfactorily completed
a multitude of projects within the Town of Newcastle for many years. It is
respectfully recommended the quotation be accepted by Council of the
Corporation of the Town of Newcastle.
