Equipment Replacement Purchases for 1994

Tenders for the replacement of existing equipment have been prepared for 1994 as set
forth in the equipment replacement schedule. To date, we have received tenders for the
replacement of one mini dump truck, flail mower and garbage packer for the Public
Works Dept. Further equipment tenders will be forwarded to you as they are received
through the Purchasing Dept. |

The following equipment recommendations are summarized for ‘your review and approval
prior to purchasing : |

The lowest tender meeting the required specifications for the mini dump truck was
received from Dam's Lincoln Mercury Sales at $30,375.15. (Ford F350)

Tenders for a flail mower were received by two suppliers, Rollins Machinery and Friesen
Equipment. Although Friesen Equipment Ltd. provided a lower bid than Rollins, the
upset cost to the City with the trade in of our old flail mower is less expensive with
Rollins Machinery. In addition, Friesen Equipment Ltd. is not an authorized dealer of
Tiger Mowing Equipment, which may present servicing problems and parts availability i in
the future. (Ford 6640 Tractor and Tiger TRF 50C. Mower). ES

Tenders fori one garbage packer for the Trades & Sanitation Dept. have been received
from several suppliers. The lowest bid meeting the necessary specifications was offered

from Vancouver White G. M. C. in the amount ‘of $151, 645.88. ( White/G. M.C.)

Would. you kindly review these tenders with the Public Works Committee for their
approval i in principal and presentation to City Council so I may proceed. with the award of |
tenders. oe : ee a
