The City is seeking qualified contractors to provide equipment, operators and associated resources to undertake winter sidewalk maintenance services in support of accessibility objectives.
The service is intended to supplement City forces and provide the additional capacity required to maintain up to approximately 80 kilometres of designated sidewalk routes. The length of the sidewalks for snow clearing may vary upwards or downwards based on requirements. Contractors will be responsible for delivering winter maintenance services that achieve defined service levels and response times in line with the City’s Winter Maintenance Policy route completion requirements, and accessibility outcomes established by the City.
Although the City will be flexible in allowing the use of suitable equipment and related resources to meet the contract deliverables, proponents will be expected to demonstrate how they will achieve the required service standards, including equipment availability, operational readiness, staffing and contingency plans for equipment breakdowns and severe weather events. Contractors will bid based on the cost of providing complete winter maintenance of allocated sidewalks per storm, assuming a total of five (5) major storms (snowfall amounts equal to or exceeding 5 centimetres per storm).
