RECOMMENDATION:
That quotation 008-049 - Heritage Cedar Shingle & Copper Roof Replacement - Homer
Watson House, be awarded to Triumph Aluminum and Sheet Metal Inc., Toronto at their quoted
price of $134,364.30, including G.S.T.
BACKGROUND:
In August of 2007, the City retained IRC Building Sciences Group to investigate the cause of
water damage within several areas of Homer Watson House. In their report, IRC identified
several areas that show signs of water damage likely caused by ice damming conditions over
the winter months. Other areas such as the roof over the gallery and the clerestory windows
were also identified as being deficient and in need of repair. It was also noted that several
cedar shakes on the rest of the house showed signs of deterioration and cracking.
As part of their recommendation, IRC suggested that a complete roof condition assessment be
completed for the entire roof, along with replacement of the clerestory windows and the gallery
roof. Totten Sims Hubicki was retained by the City of Kitchener to prepare drawings,
specifications and to address these recommendations. Therefore the quotation document was
requested on the basis of three components: cedar & copper roof replacement, celestory
window replacement and carpentry & framing.
REPORT:
Ouotation notifications were sent to twenty seven (27) known contractors, as well as advertised
publicly on the City of Kitchener website and the Internet through the Ontario Public Buyers
Electronic Tendering Information System. Ouotations were subsequently picked up by fifteen
(15) contractors and by the closing date of Friday June 20th, 2008, six (6) bids had been
received. The bid from Cedar Roof Ontario, S1. Catharines, was only for the cedar shingle and
copper replacement component and they were not the lowest bidder for that portion of the
project. Triumph Aluminum and Sheet Metal Inc., Toronto was the low bidder.
