HomeMy WebLinkAboutTM-36-79 TM-36-79 TO: His Worship the Mayor and Members of Council FROM: A. C. Guiler, Town Manager DATE: March 12th, 1979 SUBJECT: Resolution #PD-118-79 "THAT I.B.I. Group be engaged to prepare the Community District Plan Proposals for the Bowmanville Urban Area in accordance with their submission dated January 30th, 1979, to be billed on an hourly rate, not to exceed the upset figure of $37,700. to be completed to sixteen weeks from the date of the signing of the contract with a penalty of $100.00 per day if this time frame is exceeded. The above mentioned resolution was considered and approved by Council resolution #C-200-79 on February 23rd, 1979. A meeting was held on March 8th, 1979 to work out contract details with the I,B.I. Group,in accordance with Council's instruction. At that meeting we were advised by the Consultant he could not accept the penalty clause as their firm were not carrying out the total project and would have to rely on another consultant, town and Regional Staff for input. If the input from others as listed above was not received in time for I.B.I. to meet its schedule in their proposal then the penalty clause is most unfair. Your staff has considered the comments made by I.B.I. Group and would respectfully recommend to Council that the resolution #PD-118-79 and #C-200-79 be amended to remove the penalty clause as a condition of approval for this project.
