Res. #&pft- 35?Yo / Date: June 4, 2001 Report #: TR-39-01 FILE#: By-law # Subject: ACCEPTANCE OF CONTRACTS AND QUOTATIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report TR-39-01 be received; 2. THAT the Chief Administrative Officer and The Director of Corporate Services or the Director of Finance or their designates be authorized to accept the lowest qualified tender or quotation meeting all terms, conditions and specifications as required by the Municipality during holiday periods for the term of Council; 3. THAT the Mayor and Clerk subject to recommendation #2 above, be authorized to execute the necessary contracts or agreements; and 4. THAT an information report and any applicable By-laws be presented at the first G.PA Committee meeting following holiday periods summarizing the tender or quotations that have been awarded. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: During holiday periods, there may be occasion where tenders or quotations (budgeted items) will be required to be opened and awarded. In order to avoid the necessity of convening a Council meeting and possibly not having a quorum available due to the holiday period, it would be appropriate for Council to adopt the recommendations contained in this report. For efficiency purposes, it is recommended that this procedure be implemented for the term of Council. This procedure is consistent with the previous term of Council. In some cases, the low bidder may not be the most qualified with respect to references or quality of product offered and in these cases, the most appropriate low bid would be selected. 917 , REPORT NO.: TR-39"()1 PAGE 2 For the information of Council, staff have confirmed with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs that establishing this procedure is within Council's authority. Also, for the Council's information, Schedule "A" attached details which tenders are tentatively scheduled for closing and/or awarding during the summer recess. Should Council not wish these tenders to be awarded under the proposed method for the summer Council break, they may alternatively schedule a special Council meeting.
