* corrected tender
After review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing and Public Works staff, it
was agreed that H & K - Carlson Constructors Inc., be recommended for the
contract to supply and deliver winter sand to the Town of Newcastle, as required
by the Department of Public Works.
The required funds will be drawn from the Public Works approved Winter
Maintenance accounts for the 1987/88 winter season requirements from which there
are adequate funds available.
The prices tendered reflect an average increase of approximately 16% over those
tendered in 1986. Staff does not anticipate sand delivery until 1988, as the
domes are presently full, therefore, the percentage increase could be considered
over two (2) years.
