Q07 -004 - Golf Cars
RECOMMENDA TION
That quotation Q07-004, Golf Cars, be awarded to Club Car, Inc., Cambridge ON, at their
quoted price of $51,812.80., including G.S.T.
BACKGROUND
The golf courses trade approximately twenty (20) golf cars annually as part of their fleet
replacement strategy.
REPORT
Quotations were requested from seven (7) potential bidders and advertised publicly on the City
of Kitchener website. By the closing date of February 9th, 2007, three (3) quotations had been
received.
The following quotations were received:
E-Z-Go Textron Canada
Club Car, Inc.
Yamaha Golf Car Company
Richmond Hill, ON
Cambridge, ON
Milton, ON
$50,169.80
$51,812.80 *
$60,445.44
The low bid submitted from E-Z-Go Textron Canada did not meet specification for a 48 volt
system on electric cars and hour meters on gasoline cars, therefore it was rejected. The 48 volt
system is preferred as the batteries and chargers are warranted for four (4) years which aligns
with the City's trade-in strategy. The 48 volt system allows usage for a longer period of time
between charges resulting in less maintenance. For gasoline powered cars, the hour meters are
essential to monitor and balance usage of each individual car.
The quotations were reviewed by T. Doering, Supervisor, Golf Grounds, and S Rudak, Buyer,
who concur with the above recommendation.

Funding will be provided from Index 338113 - Golf Cart Replacement
