Dear Ms. Birkett.
Re: Contract No. T88-6, Queen Street Reconstruction, (Ontario Street to
King Street) , Bowmanville.
Tenders for the above contract were opened on Friday, June 10, 1988, Bids
received were as follows:
Lamco Construction Limited, Gormley Ontario $680,991.50
Dawn Enterprises Limited, Thornhill, Ontario $794,039.20
Duntri Construction, Oshawa, Ontario $798,234.70
Dagmar Construction Limited, Markham, Ontario $872,649,82
Hollingworth Construction Co. , Concord, Ontario $905,885.50*
Engineers Estimate $801,400.00
*Corrected Amount
We assume certified cheques in the amount of $40,000 and Agreements to Bond
accompanied each bid. The cheques for the two lowest bids shall be retained
until a contract has been executed.
We have reviewed the tenders and consider them correct. Accordingly we
recommend the contract be awarded to Lamco Construction Limited. The low
bidder has performed work in Bowmanville for our firm on two occasions, in an
acceptable manner. The respective contractor reconstructed Scugog Road between
King Street and Odell Street and Phase 1 of the Penwest Subdivision located in
the northwest quadrant of King Street and Mearns Avenue. The bid differential
of $114,000.00 between second and low bids is substantial on a contract of this
size. The Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, will pay subsidy only on the
low bid. Based on comments solicited from other Municipalities and our own
experience, we find no reason to disqualify the low bidder.
Should Council concur with our recommendations, kindly forward a copy of the
appropriate resolution to the Ministry of Transportation Ontario, with a copy
to ourselves.
