Subject: T06-085 - On Site Crushing /Recycling of Asphalt and Concrete
RECOMMENDATION
That tender T06-085, On Site Crushing /Recycling of Asphalt and Concrete, be awarded to
1371933 Ontario Inc., Waterdown, Ontario at their adjusted tendered price of $207,760.,
including G.S.T.
BACKGROUND
Asphalt and concrete materials removed from City projects are stockpiled at the Battler Yards
and when sufficient quantities are available, we contract for the crushing of the materials and the
product is inventoried to be used on various city projects as required. The benefits of this
process are materials can be reused rather than paying to have them disposed of, we have less
costly materials available for city projects, and the reuse of the materials is environmentally
responsible.
