In May 1991 the Engineering Department was authorized to call for proposals for a Drainage

2) Dayton & Knight Ltd. $67,800

4) UMA Engineering Ltd. | $64,800

Each engineering company’s project tearn was interviewed by the Deputy City Engineer and
staff arid were asked to demonstrate their knowledge of the proposed work and their methology
in completing the work on schedule and within budget.

The project teams offered were fairly even. however we felt that UMA Engineering and Dayton
& Knight demonstrated the best over all proposals. U.M.A. Engineering came in-slightly. ahead
based on their particularily strong background in modelling and computers. |

Based on technical merit firstly and price secondiy i am recommending that UMA Engineering
Ltd. be appointed for the Southeast Industrial Area Drainage Study project at a cost of $64,800.
