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.
