DISCUSSION
On June 17, 1997, Council awarded a 12-month contract to Ocean Construction Supplies Limited for the supply and delivery of reinforced concrete pipe, manhole sections and tops, as, if, and when required, for a 12-month period, at an annual estimated cost of $782,870 plus the 7% Goods and Services Tax (less any municipal rebate received) and the Provincial Sales Tax, where applicable.
The contract provides for two 12-month extensions by mutual agreement between the City and the contractor. Council approved the first 12-month extension period on June 16, 1998.
Ocean has agreed to extend the contract with all prices, terms, and conditions remaining the same.
Considering that Ocean Construction Supplies Limited has been a satisfactory supplier, it is recommended that the contract be extended for an additional 12-month period.
