the Department of Public Works.

awarded the contract to supply and deliver a 21/2 Cu.Yd. Articulated loader , as

WARANDUM
TO: Dennis Nomeniuk, Purchasing & Supply Agent
FROM: David T. Gray, Deputy Director of Public Works
DATE: August 16, 1983
SUBJECT: EQUIPMENT TENDER 83-15
FRONT END ARTICULATED LOADER
Please be advised that Public Works staff have reviewed the
tenders for the front end loader (2 1/2 cu. yd. ) and
recommend that the tender be awarded to Capital Equipment
Ltd. , the lowest tender that satisfies all specifications.
This loader satisfies the recommendations in the 1983
Equipment Budget to upgrade to a 2 112 yard loader and is
the minimum weight and horse power to safely support and
operate the Town's S.M.I . snow blower.
It is also recommended that the 1971 Trojan Loader be traded
at a net price of $77,752.00, the cost of which is well
below the $100,000 Budget.
We would appreciate an early award of this contract in order
to avoid costly repairs to the existing loader and to have
the new equipment available for the 1983/84 winter season.
