2026/27 Winter Street Sand

The City of Yellowknife is soliciting tenders for the production, gradation, screening, and stockpiling of 3,500 cubic meters of 16mm minus crushed aggregate for the 2026/27 winter street sand operations. The material must consist of sound, hard, and durable particles of crushed rock or gravel and sand, free from organic matter, clay lumps, and other deleterious materials. The aggregate must be sourced from a location suitable for driving surfaces to avoid increasing the risk of punctured tires. The selected contractor is responsible for all quality control and field testing, while the City reserves the right to perform independent testing and reject any material that does not meet specifications. The material must be delivered and stockpiled in a non-compacted conical condition at the City Public Works Garage Compound, with deliveries potentially requested in two parts. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the bids&tenders system by September 30, 2026, ensuring all documents are in PDF format. Mandatory submission requirements include a Business License, a Safety Plan, and a Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission Letter of Registration. The contract is governed by the City of Yellowknife Purchase Order Terms and Conditions, and payment for in-place stockpile volume is capped at 1.05 times the contract quantity.
