*The shortfall of $14,110.00 to be funded by account # 083 5399 6757 005 (Stormwater Mgmt Guideline Update).  This project may be closed upon transfer of funds to 083-5399-7778-005 to cover shortfall. 

 

PURPOSE

To obtain approval to award the Town’s Stormwater Management Guideline update project.

 

BACKGROUND

This request for proposal (RFP) was issued for updating the Town’s existing Stormwater Management Guideline that was last updated in 1995. Our guideline is out-of-date and many significant changes have occurred since with respect to the design, construction and implementation of stormwater management systems. These changes include new application process, techniques, criteria, data, design and modeling and incorporation of provincial, Regional and conservation authority’s requirements all of which require update of the guideline.

 

It is intended that the proposed guideline update will result in more advanced and consistent engineering reports prepared for subdivision and site plan development applications. These reports typically include a functional servicing report (subdivision and site plan level), stormwater design report for ponds and stormwater servicing report (sub-division), and stormwater design reports (site plan).

PURPOSE

To obtain approval to award the purchase of Two (2) 3 Point Hitch Mounted PTO Driven Aerators.

 

BACKGROUND

The purchase of these 3 point hitch power take off tractor driven units use up and down time action to penetrate any type of ground and in doing so shatters the compacted soil and opens up subsoil for better nutrient absorption. These units are part of the equipment required for the Enhanced Cultural Practice Program. In researching specifications for these units it was found that there where only few suppliers of these types of units.

 

It should be noted that out of 4 suppliers that picked up the bid document, only 1 supplier submitted a bid as the other 3 did not have equipment that met the required specifications.
