REPORT
Tenders were requested from eight (8) potential bidders, advertised publicly in The Record, on
the City of Kitchener web site and the Ontario Public Buyers Electronic Tendering Information
System. Eighteen (18) potential bidders picked up tender documents and by the closing date of
Thursday April 6th, 20065, six (6) tenders had been received.
The tenders were reviewed by B. Stevenson, Supervisor, Building Operations who concurs with
the above recommendation.
The following tenders were received:
Sports Systems Unlimited Corp. Waterloo, ON $100,473.00
Ice Bord Sports Mississauga, ON $119,721.23
Athletica Elora, ON $124,350.05

The rink boards in both twin pads are almost twenty years old and are due for replacement. They
are the old steel framed boards and are badly rusting and rotting out. The concrete sleeves that
hold the boards in place are no longer usable and the concrete around the sleeves has deteriorated
badly which results in the boards actually moving throughout the ice season. These boards are
taken in and out two and three times per season and we are finding it next to impossible to align
and support these boards as straight as the user groups expect.
