Re: Steel Railing for Pedestrian Footbridge

In the month of June approval was received from
the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Ministry of the Provincial
Secretary and Government Services to spend up to $18,000 to
replace the aluminum handrailing on the Patricia’ Avenue
footbridge with a steel handrailing. A copy of the letter
from the Assistant Deputy Minister is attached. In accordance
with this letter, we arranged for tenders for the replacement
of the handrailing in steel in accordance with the attached

sketch.

Three tenders were received in the following
amounts:

1. Abatech Industries - $ 10,315.76
2. J.P. Welding Company Ltd. - $ 21,451.95
3. X.L. Iron Works Company ~ $ 29,218.00

The first tender includes a credit of $1,300 for
the existing handrailing which the contractor would take with
him. The other two tenders provide no credit and the existing
handrailing would be delivered to the City Yards. The tender
from Abatech Industries also includes a statement that the
quotation is for acceptance not later than August 15th, 1980.
_Presumably if the order is given later than that date they
would have the right to increase the costs.

The Committee recommends that the contract for the
replacement of the handrailing be awarded to Abatech Industries
at a cost of $10,315.76 and that the bill be sent to the
Provincial Secretary's Department.
