Tenders for the above were opened by the City Clerk on June 7, 2000 and referred to the General Manager of Engineering Services and the Manager of Materials Management for report.

The 7% GST (less any municipal rebate received) and the PST are in addition to all prices shown on this report.

The tender calls for the supply and delivery of 63 items of extra strength vitrified clay sewer pipe and fittings, as, if and when required for 3 year period from date of purchase order. Prices remain firm for minimum of one year. The tender is to awarded in its entirety to a single contractor.

Gladding McBean in Lincoln, California submitted the only tender. Nine invitations to tender were offered. Gladding McBean has been the supplier of this material for over 5 years. They are the nearest manufacturer to Vancouver. No Canadian manufactures exist for this product.
