The required funds are to be drawn from the approved 1986 Public Works roads
maintenance, construction and capital projects budgets from which there are
adequate funds available.
After review and analysis of the tenders by Public Works and Purchasing staff,
it was mutually agreed that Miller Paving Limited, Unionville, Ontario be
recommended for the contract award to supply and place Cold Mixed Open Graded
Bituminous Pavement as tendered. The subject firm performed to the
satisfaction of staff on a similar contract issued in 1983 which was the
Town's most recent requirement. The total bid price represents a 13.5%
increase compared to 1983.
