Luc.know Sentinel, Wednesday, May 4, 1994.— Page 9 Bruce _County modifies new tender policy A new policy that requires tenders for county projects to use local labour has been modified. The executive committee said the policy approved last month was not well understood by contractors. There was also concern that the added condition of estimating how many local jobs and weeks of work, would be created in each bid would discourage local contractors from bidding and reduce competitive quotes. The executive committee recom- mended changing the wording of the policy, requiring advertisements for tenders to state that bidders "are encouraged to employ local residents of Bruce.County." Recent tenders from Bruce Township, where the policy originated, state that "successful bidders will be requested to employ local labour to.the extent possible". Meanwhile, Tara reeve Paul Eagleson said "there's something wrong with our tendering. service" after he learned no Bruce County firms bid to supply -two tandem trucks with plows and boxes. The tender went to a Kitchener company at a cost of $243,790. Olk I i AND I DIS IT MYSELF... Cvsu,a P,Wt ...WITH THE.
