BACKGROUND

REPORT
Quotations were requested from eleven (11) potential bidders and advertised on the City of
Kitchener website. Eighteen (18) potential bidders picked up quotation documents, and by the
closing date of Wednesday May 14th, 2008, six (6) quotations had been received.
The low bidder, Safety Today, of Brantford, was rejected as the majority of gloves they had
provided as samples did not meet the specification in the areas of material weight and reduced
stitching. The second low bidder, McCordick Glove and Safety Inc., Cambridge, did not provide
a sample of all gloves listed in the quotation. This was listed as a mandatory requirement in the
quotation.
The following quotations were received:
