6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 14, 1978 High Bid Probably Lost Wallace Auto Town Tender Wallace Auto Supply in Orono, undoubtedly will lose any business the Town of Newcastle had been giving i after the tenders received by the planning and development committee are awarded. At the committee's meeting on Friday, the tenders were opened and it was revealed that Wallace's was among the highest bids. Several weeks ago, Wallace requested the town let tenders for its automotive parts and supplies purchases so that local suppliers would either get a fairer share of the business or ail of it. When tenders were opened on Friday, both W.R. Chapman of Oshawa and Pine Ridge Auto Supply in Bowmanville had offered lower bids than Wallace. Four companies were given a list of items that the town would normally purchase. These items ranged from muffler clamps to anit-freeze and represented various sizes of purchases, from one item to caseloads. The suppliers were asked to quote on all of the items and submit a total price. There is no commitment on the town to purchase the items quoted on. Pine Ridge Auto had the lowest bid of $894.61; W.R. Chapman bid $899.45, although it did not submit a quote on mufflers or clamps; Wallace bid $938, it did not bid on mufflers and some other items; and Herb Robinson Auto Supply, Oshawa, bid $944.51. The various types of mufflers and varying sizes was the reason given by the companies who didn't quote on them. Because certain bids did not include the total list, the tenders have been turned over to the town manager and public works director for a recommendation. Other questions were also brought out at the meeting, that will be investigated. Councillor Robert Dykstra stated that because the company had the lowest overall bid did not mean it should get the tender because it might have given a high price on a most bought item, as anit-freeze. Jack Dunham, director of public works, said that he and the town manager would be taking the items common to everyone's bid and then making the decision on those figures. At the meeting, other tenders were also opened and let, contingent on council approval and the companies meeting the specifications. Some of these tenders pro- vided pleasant surprises for committee members, coming in well below the budget estimates. Two half ton pick up trucks and two 35,000 GVW trucks are needed by the town and tenders called. Four companies bid on the half-tons: Glenwood Lincoln Mercury, in Whitby, bid $12,730.10 for two Ford F150's; MacDonald Ford Sales, in Bowmanville bid $13,58760 for two of the same type; Sherway Ford Sales in Toronto bid $13,025.79, also for two F150's and Cowan Pontiac Buick, in Bowmanville, bid $13,648.96 for two GMC TC109U3s. The tender was let to Glenwood subject to its meeting specifications. On the larger trucks, only three companies bid: Oshawa Truck Centre, which bid $62,746.90 for two Interna- tional 2574s; Sherway Ford, which bid $57,555.89 for two Ford L 9,000s; and Cliff Mill Motors, in Oshawa, which bid $61,317.98 for two GMC TJ9C042s. Sherway Ford will be granted the contract subject to meeting specifications. Although Councillor Alf Gray said he felt the prices were somewhat high, Mr. Dunham assured him that they were in line with what the town had paid for similar trucks two years ago. Mr. Dunham pointed out that the price has only increased by approximately $2,000. The price only includes the cab and motor for a single axle truck. The town will have to provide a box, at an estimated cost of $2,500, if it wants one. Two other tenders were opened at the meeting: one for screened sand for winter use and the other for hot mix paving. It was the sand tenders which proved to be the most surprising. There were four tenders received: Gerlad Finley Con- struction in Baltimore, asked for a unit price of $1.63 a ton with a total of $24,450; Robert Young Construction in Innesmore asked for $1.40 a ton with a total of $21,000; Harnden and King Con- struction in Cobourg asked for $1.89 a ton with a total of $28,350; and Doughey Aggregates of Peterborough asked for $1.58 a ton with a total of $23,700. These bids were surprising because the town had budgeted for a unit price of at least $2.00 a ton, basing its estimates on last year's price of $1.94 a ton. Mr. Dunham said that it was just one of those quirks which turn up every once in a while when you're dealing with prices: sometimes they go up, sometimes they go down. The tender was awarded to Robert Young subject to approval. Only three bids were received for the hot mix paving material: from Harnden and King Con- for a unit price of $16.09 a ton and $96,397.61 total; Rapac Construction and Material Limited in West Hill for $15.94 a ton with a total of $95,508; and Bennet Paving, in Oshawa, for $16.25 a ton and a total of $97,346.25. Again the tender will be let to the lowest bid subject to his meeting specificiations. Last year, the town paid $15.90 a ton and had estimated that it would cost at least $16.50 a ton this year. Fire Strikes Damage was estimated at $20,000 following a fire Sunday afternoon at a home northWest of Newtonville. Newcastle Fire Chief Jim Hayman said Monday that a deep fryer on the stove is believed to be the cause of the fire. All occupants of the home were outside of the building when the blaze began. Chief Havman said there was considerable damage to the inside of the single-storey structure which was owned by Kivor Notton, of R.R. 1, Orono. He said the kitchen and bathroom ~area of the home were badly burned along with rafters in the roof. Firefighters from Hall Three in Orono and Hall Two in Newcastle were called to the scene just after two p.m. We send speedy get well wishes to Mrs. Jim McMullen and to Cecil Argue who are both patients in Civic Hospital, Peterborough, and also to Mrs. Ralph Sharpe, who was admitted to hospital in Bowmanville on Thursday.
