The Community Services Department requires a variety of fencing types to be supplied and installed in
various forms throughout the City each year. From fencing that delineates property boundaries to all
types of sports field chain link fencing to environmental silt control and tree protection fencing, we
require the services of a contractor that specializes in this work and provides efficient and cost effective
service throughout the year at a large number of different work locations across Kitchener. We do not
have the staff resources or specialized equipment for this type of volume work to be executed on a regular
basis by City of Kitchener forces.

Kruppa, Buyer, have reviewed the proposals and concur with this recommendation.
