Re:

- THE CORPORATION. OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

PWC -~2-- June 4/81

is from International Harvester for a cost of $45,421.00 including
tax.

The supply of the packer body to go with the above cab and
chassis produced five tenders as shown on the attached recap sheet.
The lowest tender with the Dempster body was also International
Harvester at a price of $26,536.70 including a front-mount pump
option. If the Heil body is chosen there are three identical
quotes at a total cost of $26,260.27 including a front-mount pump

option.

There is a total difference of about $276.00 between the
Dempster body and the Heil body. The Dempster body is recommended
as a better purchase due to larger hopper capacity, larger packing
capacity, heavier steel used in the body, longer warranty, and

faster recycling.

The Committee recommends that we award the tender for. the
truck and packer to. International Harvester at a total cost
including the Dempster packer and front pump option of $71,947.50.
A sum of $75,000.00 was providea in the Budget for this purchase.

ITEM IV

Re: No Parking Signs in Lane behind McAllister Plaza.

The By-law Officer has been regularly ticketing vehicles
parked in the lane behiné McAllister Plaza. Vehicles are parked
on the east side of the lane in such a way as to block entry and
exit from the parking stalls which are part of the McAllister
Plaza. The By-law Officer had requested signs to reinforce our
by-law which prevents any parking in any lane.

It is not normal practice to put No Parking signs in lanes
although there are some places in the City which have them. The
Committee recommends in this case that the signs be installed
because it is a commercial area and a number of the vehicles using
the lane and parking in it are commercial vehicles.

Respectfully submitted,
