Details

The City is seeking quotations from qualified contractors to provide snow clearing, snow removal, stockpiling, and related winter maintenance services for City-owned and leased parking facilities operated by Transportation Services – Parking Enterprise. Snow hauling services may be requested by the City on an as-needed basis when snow storage capacity is limited or site conditions warrant removal. Services shall be provided between November 1 and March 31 annually, with additional services outside that period as requested by the City. To ensure contractor availability throughout the winter season, the successful Contractor will receive a standby payment of $3,000.00 per month for each month from November through March (inclusive) during the term of the Contract. The standby payment is intended to compensate the Contractor for maintaining the personnel, equipment, and operational readiness required to respond to City service requests. Additional details regarding the standby payment are provided in the RFQ. The scope of work does not include the supply or application of salt, sand, de-icing agents, or other ice control materials.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this construction & infrastructure opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
