2012 Tar and Chip Program
The tender for the 2012 tar and chip program closed on June 26 with three
submissions. The proposal results are listed below:
Company Name
Total Tender (incl. HST)
Cornell Construction $293,173.71
Loaring Construction $337,372.80
Lloyd’s Paving $391,034.06
Staff has had the opportunity to review and confirm the tenders. The low proposal was
submitted by Cornell Construction, and was not witnessed but was signed by an officer
of the corporation. In these instances the municipal solicitor has indicated that the
reasonable solution is to correct the variance with the execution of the contract
documents, should the remainder of the bid be complete and correct. The remainder of
the bid document was found to be complete, meets specifications, and the contractor is
experienced in this type of work. As such, staff can see no reason not to accept the
tender from Cornell Construction for the total tender sum of $293,173.71 (inclusive of
HST).
The contract for the 2012 tar and chip program was tendered with a total budget of
$443,000 in the Community Services capital budget as approved by Council. The tender
submitted by Cornell Construction is $293,173.71 inclusive of HST and the net cost to
the municipality (less the HST rebate) is $264,012.00.
Roads scheduled for tar and chip include: Lakeview Ave, Williams Street, Gordon Road,
Lakeview Haven Drive, Vance Drive, Glendale Drive, Cedar Point Line, Arkona Road
(spot repair). Due to the favorable tender closing compared to budget, staff plans to
review other areas of the municipality for additional spot repairs.
Staff recommends that Council enact by-law #71-2012 authorizing the Mayor and the
Clerk to enter into an agreement with Cornell Construction.
