Review of Tenders

Tenders were received for the above contract and opened at

2:00 p.m. local time April 17, 1984 in the council chambers at
City Hall. A summary of tenders received is provided in ‘fable 1.
All tenders were checked arithmetically and the corrected totals
are also provided in Table 1. The corrections do not signifi-

cantly alter the order of the bids.

One tender was received after the 2:00 p.m. closing time. Tech-
nically, the tender should not have been opened. The tender was
opened, however, and the price was greater than the lowest tender.
In fairness to contractors meeting the specified deadline, we
have not reported the results of the late tender.

The lowest tender was received from MDM Enterprises Ltd. in the
amount of $796,597.33. Our estimated cost for the work based on
costs established at the study stage was $981,000.

MDM Enterprises Ltd. is a union company formed approximately 2 to
3 years ago. One of the principals, Mr. Dave Martens, P.Eng. was
formerly a project manager with Grimwood Construction. Ltd.

Mr. Martens is well experienced. in bridge construction and MDM's
tender indicates that he will be resident on site during the
construction. MDM's recent experience in bridge construction
includes two projects in Burnaby. The BNR Grade Separation work,
