The City typically incurs issuing costs of up to five percent of the debenture amount, and therefore, the debt financing strategy was changed to internal loans to avoid these costs. Discussion: Fleet Services manages and assists with the procurement of the City’s fleet. As reflected in the 2021 and 2022 Capital Budgets, the vehicles listed above were approved for purchase. A second-stage Quotation No. RFQQ2022-7, through Canoe Procurement Group, contract #060920 was sent to three potential bidders on November 17, 2022 with a submission deadline of December 14, 2022 through the City’s bids and tenders portal. No submissions were received by the submission deadline. Another second-stage Quotation No. RFQQ2022- 7A was sent, through Canoe Procurement Group contract #062222, to two potential bidders on January 1, 2023 with a submission deadline of February 9, 2023 through the City’s bids and tenders portal. One quotation was received by the submission deadline. The submission from Viking Cives Ltd has met all technical requirements and received consensus from the Evaluation Committee. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fleet Services was asked to identify projects that could be deferred as a cost savings. Fleet Services deferred five heavy snow plow trucks from 2020 and 2021 that have now been tendered in 2022 with increased pricing submissions due to unprecedented inflation rates in the automotive industry. To offset the increase, additional funding was added in the 2023 Capital Budget. Staff launched a pilot project during the 2017/18 winter season on approximately 50 km of roads. Results from the pilot project were positive, and staff recommended the purchase of two new brine trucks in the amount of $560,000.00, together with an increase to the amount of roads to receive Direct Liquid Application (DLA) to 100 km with a goal to be able to complete all main roads in the near future. DLA or anti-icing involves the application of a salt of calcium bring on the road 24 to 48 hours ahead of a snow or ice event on paved roads. DLA creates a bond breaker on the pavement surface which provides an approximate one hour buffer before salting is required and for improved plowing of the surface when required. The program was also forecasted to include emerging communities in northern Pickering for the 2023/34 winter season with the additional purchase of one new brine truck and one new 4 ton snow plow with wing. Report CS 31-19 (Resolution #194/19) was approved by Council for an increased level of service which recommended the expansion of the Brine Program or DLA. In summary, these vehicles represent four vehicles for growth funded by DC’s, two life cycle replacement vehicles and two vehicles for an increase in level of service. These vehicles are on extended delivery and will be in service for the 2024/25 winter control season. After careful review of all submissions received, Operations’ staff recommend the acceptance of Quotation No. RFQQ2022-7A submitted by Viking Cives Ltd, and that the total net project cost of $3,252,881.00 (net of HST rebate) be approved.
