But the . own's operations committe wull get'more informa- tion before recommending the low bid, $9,' 235,960, by ent- way-Wager. Wageg, bus storage and government subsidies maLy al h ave impact on the actual bids, depending on final recommenda- There were representatives from both companies at the com- mittee meeting Monday night te defend their bids. Bill Heslop, vice president of Charterways, warned the com- mittee that the loW bid may not include -appropriate wages for the drivers. Jim Devlin; president of Trent- way -Wager, said that their bid nincludes a wage of $12/hr and a yearly increase that is above the rate of inflation. Staff recommended that com- mittee accept the low bid from Trentway-Wagar. «It is unfair te bidders te keep extending it back», Dick Kuwa- hara, director of public works, teld committee. < e have exa- xined the contract thoroughly and we feel -it should go te Trentway. » Kuwahara also teld committee inembers that if they were not to accept the low bid, it would have serlous financial implications on the Town due te lost government subsidies. Committee recommended that staff re-examine the bids and come back with more informa- tion. "Because of heavy subsidy in- volvement, we are not going im a direction that is productive," said Town administrator Bill Wallace. «I implore y ou -that we should give as much notice to inmplemen- tation of this as possible.' Devlin warned that Trentway- Wager's bid could increase if a decision were delayed. "Certain commitnents have been entered into based on the Town's schedule,» said Devlin. "I would like a guarantee that funds be returned. We could be left with a much higher bid. "We secured a tremendous facility. Ail of this could go by the wayside with this delay.» «Are we being told that a delay would mean a re-submnission of yr tender?" asked Tom «If that property is lost to us, it would have a major impact,» rep1ied Devlin. IUf you're saig this matter is being jeopardzedbcuew want to look at it, then I want to look at it even further,» said Edwards. The property under discussion to house the b uses is a 13-acre lot at 880 Stevenson Rd. in Osh- awa. It holds seven bays and is Fire damage is $100eOOO Damage was estimated at $100,000 from a fire at 219 Lee Ave. in Whitby early Saturday afternoon. A resident was makingy french fries when the grease she was using caughit fire.. She and her twin brother, who was asleep at the time, left the bouse ana were uninjured. The family dog and cat both died in the fire. The parents were out shop-J ping. 6.5 kilometres from the Wihitby GO station. Charterway's contract ends Nov. 24, 1990. Heslop offered to extend it so staff and committee could examine the -bids thoroughly. Many'drivers now working for Charterways have been offered jobs by Trentway-Wager if they secure the contract. Tey are plan.:iing a further meeting w'ith the drivers on Oct. 21. Committee recommended, by a recorded vote of. 2-1, that the issue be referred back te staff for further information. Councillor Lynda Buffett voted against the recommendlation. Staff indicated. that te, expe- dite matters, theý would do their best te have al pertinent infor- mation ready for next Tuesday's council meeting, and perhaps thçn re-address the issue under new business.
