2026-10 Janitorial Services - Fire Halls

The District of North Cowichan is soliciting proposals for janitorial services at four of its fire halls located in Chemainus, Crofton, Maple Bay, and Duncan, with the contract aimed at maintaining cleanliness and sanitation standards across these facilities. The scope of work, detailed in Section A of the RFP Particulars, outlines specific deliverables required for each location, and all submissions must be completed through the District’s online portal using supported browsers with cookies enabled. Participation requires mandatory attendance at a site meeting at the Chemainus Fire Hall, where safety gear compliant with Worksafe BC regulations must be worn. The solicitation number is BC2026-10, with proposals due by July 3, 2026, and the NAICS code 561720 applies to the cleaning services category. All communication and technical support for submissions must go through the Bonfire platform, and no alternative submission methods will be accepted. The contract is managed by the District of North Cowichan, with Jeremy Konjolka serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Although the contract data incorrectly lists the agency as the Government of Canada, the actual requesting entity is the local municipality. Proposers must ensure full compliance with submission guidelines, including registration and authentication via the Bonfire portal, and are encouraged to reach out for technical assistance prior to the deadline. The tender is open to qualified contractors capable of delivering consistent, reliable cleaning services across multiple remote locations, and evaluation will be based on the ability to meet the specified deliverables, adherence to safety standards, and overall proposed methodology. Failure to attend the mandatory site meeting or submit through the official portal will result in disqualification.
