WHEREAS Council had instructed staff, as part
of the 2005 Budget exercise, to negotiate amendments to the existing contract
with Eucan (Urban Equipment of Canada) that would increase the revenue to the
City and replace the existing bins with improved bins;
AND WHEREAS the staff report presented to the
May 17th Corporate Services and Economic Development Committee
stated that “Notwithstanding Council’s direction and staff’s subsequent
discussion and negotiation with Eucan, the proposal was, and still remains,
substantively different from the current Agreement. Corporate Services Department, through consultation with both the
Financial Services Branch and the Legal Services Branch has advised that the
extent of difference is so substantial and the proposed new terms too divergent
from the existing Agreement to constitute an extension of the existing
Agreement. Accordingly, Legal Services
has advised that the City procedures for awarding a new contract should be
followed.”;
AND WHEREAS it is the City’s long standing
policy of treating all suppliers equitably through a rigorously fair RFP
process;
AND WHEREAS the public interest is best served
by the correct application of a fair competitive process;
AND WHEREAS the staff recommendations presented
to the June 7th meeting of Corporate Services and Economic
Development Committee clarified that the “Ottawa Option”, presented on May 17th,
is in fact not available as a procurement mechanism;
AND WHEREAS the staff recommendations presented
to the June 7th meeting of Corporate Services and Economic
Development Committee read:
·
Allow
existing contract to continue until the expiry date of April 2007, and

Prior

contract for the five year term which is an option, and,
·
Proceed to the marketplace, through a standard
Request for Proposal, to solicit competitive bids for the litter and recycling
contract, with expanded scope and revenue expectations, to commence May 2007;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council direct
that the City allow the existing contract with Eucan to continue until the
expiry date of April 2007;
AND That Eucan be provided with confirmation
that the City will exercise its option to not extend the contract for an additional
five-year term.

public concerns about excessive advertising in public spaces,
