Repair of Utility Cuts in Sidewalks, Curbs and
Concrete Pavements (Wards 19 to 26) -
Award of Contract No. 59421-135
The Works and Utilities Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (March 11, 1998)
from the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services:
Purpose:
To award a contract for the permanent repair of utility cuts in sidewalks, curbs and concrete pavements in
Wards 19 to 26, inclusive.
Funding Source:
Cut repair operations in the former City of Toronto are financed through a self-sustaining budget. The utility
companies responsible for the sidewalk or pavement cut pay the necessary amount for the permanent repair.
Funds are available in Cut Repair Operations Fund, Fund Code 4052-39291-Feat-5017 (Utilities).
Recommendations:
(1)That Contract No. 59421-135 for the permanent repair of utility cuts in sidewalks, curbs and concrete
pavements be awarded to the low bidder, Maple-crete Incorporated; and
(2)that the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the actions necessary to give effect
thereto.
Comments:
The former City of Toronto Tender Committee, at its meeting of February 11, 1998, received tenders for
Contract No. 594321-135 for the repair of utility cuts in sidewalks, curbs and concrete pavements in Wards 19
to 26, inclusive, as summarized below:

(5)Brennan Paving & Construction Limited$2,846,460.00
The tender prices have been checked and mathematical errors were found in the tender submitted by Brennan
Paving and Construction Limited. The corrected total is shown above.
Please note that this is a unit price contract and is to be awarded on the basis of the unit rates quoted by the
successful tenderer, Maple-crete Incorporated. The amounts shown above have been extended to determine the
minimum required amounts for deposit and performance bond purposes.
As far as I can ascertain, the interim purchasing procedures adopted by City Council at its meeting of March 4,
1998, require the award of all contracts over an amount of $1,000,000.00 to be approved by City Council.
Since this contract is in excess of $1,000,000.00, its award requires the approval of Council.
The award of this contract is subject to the receipt of a favourable report from the Fair Wage and Labour
Trades Office regarding working conditions and wages of the recommended contractor and his sub-contractors.
