SELECTION OF THE PREFERRED VENDOR

Our analysis of the proposals shows that the following vendors could
be considered as potentially suitable:

ISS Ltd.
MAI Canada, Ltd.
Tri-Data Services Inc.

Because of the omission of stock control and word Processing information
in their proposal, we recommend that ISS not be given further consideration
at this time. However, should MAI Canada, Ltd. be rejected later, then
ISS Ltd. should be considered further at that time.

In the company of Mr. Maitland, City Treasurer, we visited the City
of North Vancouver, an MAI reference client. The City of North Vancouver's
requirements and processing volumes were found to be similar to your own.
A high recommendation for MAI was received by Mr. Cornwall of the City
of North Vancouver. . MAI are a well known, financially stable company serving

all of Canada and the U.S.A.

Because of a lack of a direct municipal reference client, generally
poor quality proposal, and third-party software development, we recommend
that Tri-Data not be given further consideration at this time. Tri-Data is
a small local company in business for only a few years. However, should

MAI Canada, Ltd. be rejected later, then Tri-Data Services Inc. should De
considered further at that time.

On the basis of stability, service, support, and provision of the required
Systems, MAI was found to be clearly superior. The overall! costs for data
and word processing are practically identical for MAI and Tri-Data. We,
and your Treasurer, recommend that MAI be selected as the preferred vendor.
