Joliette, December 5, 2017 – the use of chloride-based dust suppressant is paramount to the Canada, particularly in Quebec which, with Ontario, account for about 60% of the total annual demand of 3 000 kilotons (100% basis). It is in the light of this particular reality that companies Bourget Inc. of St-Paul-de-Joliette, in the Lanaudière region, urged today the elected municipal, new or re-elected, to reform the rule of the lowest bidder in what purchases of products of dust, in summer, as in: products, in winter.
This would, according to the company of Lanaudière, do more legitimate prominently, including the uniquely Canadian product to dust, drawn to nature reserves from us and distributed in conditions most the Green that is! This would be for the president, Mr. Luc Delangis, demonstrate exceptional foresight and a sense of still more responsible management of public funds by placing, at the very least, the Canadian product on a real level playing field facing the products coming from Europe or the United States; What would significantly promote local buying as well as the growth of employment in the region.
Companies Bourget Inc. president, said that the product local, called AP – 35 had virtues proven for many years. Certified BNQ 2410-300 of normalization of the Quebec Office, the AP-35 is a liquid dust suppressant fast, consisting of chloride 80% calcium and magnesium chloride at 20%, which offers economic, logistical and environmental benefits foreground in its applications on the unpaved road, the access roads, paths of building sites, trails and non-paves mining sites.
“It allows, in addition to the municipalities to optimize and monetize their operations through the very large coefficient of efficiency of the product to capture moisture and keep it on the ground” said Mr Delangis stressing that it was free of all the impurities that in were removed during manufacturing, thanks to very strict control in the laboratory.
To apply the rule to the lowest bidders, buying direct could be an adequate solution for municipalities, in full respect of the laws and regulations, since the quantity of product purchased would lead to weak costs, falling below $25,000 bar which is the boundary of contracts under the discretionary leeway to local governments. “In addition, the recent adoption of the law 122 aimed mainly to recognize that municipalities are local governments, and to increase their autonomy as such and their powers, would allow municipalities to make acquisitions by. “contract of $100,000 and less not undertake the obligation to proceed according to the rule of the lowest bidder” continued Mr Delangis, direct purchase will still allow taxpayers to have more for their money, while helping to the creation of jobs and the growth of local economies.
“It is high time that the Quebec municipal world starts to level with products and technologies of the 3rd millennium” concluded Mr Delangis specifying that nothing opposes the entry into the market of the municipalities of 35% calcium chloride at plu s that it has, in addition to certified BNQ 2410-300 of the Bureau of standards in Quebec, of compliance with the criteria of the specification of the charges and general specifications Of the ministère des Transports, de la Mobilité durable et de l’Électrification des Transports du Québec (MTMDET) as well as standards ecotoxicological of the Ministry of the environment.
