$ .4815 per litre (including G.S.T.), meeting all terms, conditions and specifications

REPORT NO.: TR-65~O PAGE 2
The price tendered represents a price increase of one hundred (100%) over the
1999/2000 tendered prices.
Note, with respect to the issue of firm pricing versus non-firm pricing, the host agency is
recommending acceptance of the firm pricing. It is predicted that oil prices will increase
significantly over the next while and in fact, have already increased since the closing of
this tender. Based on this, it is the recommendation of the co-operative that the low bid
for firm pricing be accepted.
In comparison to the tendered unit price of $ .4815, the average household price is
approximately 70% higher.
For the information of Council, the 1999/2000 expenditure for this contract was
approximately $45,000.00.
After further review and analysis of the bids by Purchasing, it is recommended that Perry
Fuels Inc., Oshawa, Ontario, be recommended for the contract award to supply and
deliver No.2 Domestic Fuel Oil, as required by the Municipality of Clarington.
Although they have not previously provided service for the Municipality of Clarington, they
have provided satisfactory service to other members of the Durham Purchasing Co-
operative.
