TENDER T89-8, TWO (2) ONLY FRONT MOUNT RIDING MOWERS
Unit (Part I) and one (1) only Front Mount Riding Mower with a minimum 52"
Cutting Unit with Rear Discharge (Part II) , as required by the Department of
Community Services.
Tenders were received and tabulated as per Schedule "A" attached.
The required funds will be drawn from the approved 1989 Community Services
Capital budget, Account #7603-00001-0505 and #7402-00000-0505 and are well
within the $38,000.00 ($19,000.00 for Part I and $19,000.00 for Part II) ,
budgeted for this equipment. Upon review of the bids, it was revealed that
the first and second low bid for Part I do not meet the tender specifications
in that both companies are proposing a 72" floating cutting unit, where as
a minimum 88" was requested. The Treasurer has reviewed the funding
requirements and concurs with the recommendation. Queries with respect to
department needs, specifications, etc. should be referred to the Director of
Community Services.
After further review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing and Community
Services, it was mutually agreed that the bid for both Part I and Part II
from R.M.C. Equipment Ltd., Markham, Ontario, be recommended for the Tender
award. The subject firm have previously provided satisfactory service for the
Town of Newcastle.
