Tender/Expression of Interest a) T90-97 - Sidewalk Snow Plows Alderman J.

Alderman Ziegler questioned the fact that the track type plow would cost $51,500.00 whereas 3 tire driven plows could be purchased for $110,400.00 and whether or not an additional tire driven plow should be purchased as a cheaper alternative. Mr. D. Suzuki indicated that the track type plow was specialized equipment that was likely being acquired for a particular use. Mr. Clement noted that the track type plow was intended to replace current equipment. Following further discussion it was agreed that more information should be obtained on Item No.1 (Track Type Sidewalk Plow and Sander) and it was agreed to defer consideration of the recommendation respecting Item No.1 until the January 28, 1991 Council meeting.
