MEMORANDUM

MEMO TO: igor Zahynacz DATE: May 27, 1992
City Engineer

MEMO FROM: Gordon Voncina
Operations Manager

SUBJECT: Award of Tender - Sewer Flusher and Vacuum Truck
Equipment Replacement Program 1992
Tenders have been received for the replacement of one Public Works Deparmment
Sewer and Vacuum Truck, Unit #1309, as presented for replacement to City Council on

Monday, January 20, 1992.

Four equipment suppliers submitted prices for twenty differing configurations of
the tendered unit, of which National Machinery of Burnaby (Guzzler Distributor) has
provided the lowest price meeting the preferred specifications at $243,586.19.

The original cost of the replacement unit was estimated in the amount of
$225,000.00, however, after receiving all of the tenders and reviewing the equipment
specifications we find the actual cost to be $18,586.19 higher.

- Overall, the Equipment Replacement Fund has a surplus of $27,094.00 as a result
of savings accumulated from the other equipment purchases in 1992. I would request we
use a portion of the surplus to cover the cost of the purchase of tendered unit.

Would you kindly review the attached tender package recommendations from Joe
Huber our Senior Shop Foreman and request approval of the Public Works Committee to
proceed with the purchase of this replacement unit.

Respectfully Submitted,
