SIDEWALKS AND PARKING LOTS

It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee

lk S6_5L
1 . That repor"be received; and
2. That G.W.S. Landscaping, Bowmanville, Ontario, with a bid in the
amount of $652.00 per callout, being the lowest responsible bidder,
meeting all terms, conditions and specifications of Tender T86-27, be

TENDER NO. T86-27, SNOW CLEARING AND WINTER MAINTENANCE OF SIDEWALKS AND PARKING LOTS
The above tendered amounts reflect the total cost to snow clear, sand and salt all the
locations specified in the Tender for one time only. The locations as tendered are
indicated on Schedule "A" attached.
The price tendered represents a 37% decrease from 1985. This large decrease counter
balances the 45% increase, which was absorbed for the 1985/86 contract.
The reason for the large flucuation in prices between 1984 to 1986 is that in both
1984 and 1986 G.W.S. Landscaping, Bowmanville, was the low bidder, however, in 1985,
their bid was disqualified as it was submitted past the closing time and date.
Subsequently the 1985/86 tender was awarded to the next lowest bidder, D & F Snow Removal,
Bowmanville, who were substantially higher in price per call out.
After review of the bids by both Public Works and Purchasing, it was mutually agreed that
G.W.S. Landscaping, Bowmanville, Ontario, be recommended for the contract award to provide
Winter Maintenance of sidewalks and parking lots, as tendered. The subject firm have
worked satisfactorily for the Town of Newcastle in prior years.
Respectfully submitted,
