,PAGE 9, W.HITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNE SDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1988 ' hoL~ Perez is again rejected' FROM PAGE 1 ez's revised proposai was suppor- ted *by councillors Gerry Emm and Ross Batten. The original proposaI for 230 units is considred"iless desir- able" by planning department than the revised plan which includes street rearrangemnent and a community activity centre. Emm and Batten agreed with planning departmnent that Perez would be successful if appeaiing, the decision at the Ontario Mun- icipal Board. Planning depart- ment noted that Perez would also wrn its appeal on thé original 230-unit townhouse proposai ra- ther than the revised 227-unit plan. Meanwhile councillor Joe Drumm maintained his opposi- tion to the Perez proposaI because the developer had pre-sold units. "rmn wiiling to go to the board ... they (Perez) can jump in a lake as far as Fim concerned ...I'm stili saying no to Perez." S Emm argued that the Town has no authority over how mar- keting is carried out while Perez vice-president Graham Bird, who was attending last week's meet- ing, again apologized and 'said Perez didnot intend to pre-seil in the future.', "11e sasà ýhe's soir. Fim not quite convinced about that, but we have t6. déal with this on planning principles," said Batten. Bird noted that if the Town approved the revised Perez appli- cation, there would be no appeai .o the 0MB. When Emm asked about those who had already bought the units, the representative replied that "They are the bated-breath group at the moment," since they await a decision. He noted that ail arrangements originally made with buyers remain in place, unchanged. "T'in stili flot going to change my mmnd," said Drumm, who said the property at Manning and Brock, as well as the application, was an opportunity for affordable housing. Bruce Langer of Palace St., who was permitted to comment on the matter, said Perez was ofTring housing for "modest income people" when the proposed rents were compared with other rents in the area. 'We are stili getting some degree of affordable housing," said Langer, who added that the Town wouid lose at an 0MB hearing and thus lose the community activity centre that was'part of the revised plan. Batten said he has supported Perez -because the application was "icorrect 'as a planningý item," despite Drumm's strong argu- ments and despite the controvery over selling. Rééecreaion -tender criticized FROM PAGE 1 decision on Watson. "The recommendation from Moriyama 'and- Teshima is shifting work they are boing paid to do, to someone else. And they (architects) want the Town to pay for it," said Bugelli, who added his own private research has shown that CDS's bid is more than enough to handie the job. But Morrow argued that the Watson bid alan includes at least two supervisors on site at al times. "That is a major provision. When work is going on we want people on site. We couldn't get ;hat from CDS," said Morrow. But Bu gelli argued that since CDS is located*- only three kilometers from the site, there was no real need for on-site personnel.-. Morrow said the selection committee, which conducted hour-long interviews with each firm that bid on the project, was apprehensive when it received the CDS bid since bids from two other firms in Mississauga and Oakville were more than $450,000 each. "We would be getting good value for our money," said Mor- row. But Bugelli, still not satisfied, noted that Watson will carry out tests on the site which could cost the Town an additional $150,000. Morrow said the contract between the Town and Watson is based on a 12-month construction period. After that, there will be a contingency allowance. Bugelli responded it was like handing Watson "an open-ended cheque." Bugelli also noted that CDS was not aware that committee was dealing with the tenders. H1e asked that ail firms be invited to appear before the comniittee to answer any questions counciliors might have. I don't think it's proper for each firm to come here and argue," said councilior Marcel Brunelle. Bugelli again disagreed, saying committee was being asked to vary "from the norm and not accept the low bid. "There is more to this whole thing than meets the eye. ]Pm not sure if the architects have a preference (as to which con- struction firm to choose) and therefore their questioning is geared that way. "The lowest tender is not always necessarily the best. We have to put our trust in the people that did the interviews," said Brunelle. Regional councillor Tom Edwards noted that it was a local company that handled the construction -of the Iroquos pool in 1973-74. "And how many thousands of dollars has that cost us because of a lack of experience with pools?" said Edwards, who did not name the company. Edwards pointed out, however, that the municipal building's basement had to be rebuilt after only 10 years. Bugelli had previously noted that CDS was involved with the building. Edwards agreed with Bugelli that committee should slow down the process. "The problem is, does political consideration get in the way? Do we overlook an experienced firm for a local firmn?" said Edwards. "I have to be convinced that CDS, at haîf the cost., can't do the job, said Bugelli, moving that al firms be invited to a futuire committee meeting. Administrator Bill Wallace said the architect's advice of choosing Watson will not change in "any subsequent discussion." He also asked that the meeting with the companies be held in camera. Bugelli disagreed, saying the companies are public firms. Edwards said the committee should meet in camera, then make a public decision. Committee finally agreed te, allow each firm to decide if they wanted a public or private meet- ing. "But I suspect-the firms wili have no difficulty dealing in a public forum," concluded Bugelli.
