City of Calgary - Request for Proposal - 26-1622 Calgary Transit Vehicle Servicing and Cleaning Services for Buses and LRVs

The City of Calgary is seeking qualified and experienced service providers to deliver comprehensive vehicle servicing and cleaning services for its public transit fleet, which includes approximately 1,101 buses and 224 light rail vehicles. Services must be performed primarily during evening and overnight hours at six designated transit garages and associated storage locations spread across the city, ensuring all vehicles are thoroughly maintained and cleaned to meet readiness standards for the following day’s revenue service. The contract is divided into three distinct schedules based on geographic locations: Schedule 1 covers the Stone Transit Facility and Oliver Bowen Maintenance Facility including Tuscany and Saddletowne Tailtracks; Schedule 2 includes Spring Gardens Garage and Calgary Transit Access Garage; and Schedule 3 encompasses Victoria Park Garage and Anderson Garage along with the Haysboro LRV Storage Location and the Somerset-Bridlewood and 69 Street Tailtracks. Proponents may submit proposals for one, two, or all three schedules, allowing for flexibility in scope and operational focus. The solicitation, designated as AB-2026-04203, was posted on June 3, 2026, with proposals due by June 30, 2026. The contract falls under NAICS code 811192, identifying it as a vehicle maintenance and repair service opportunity. Although the official documentation lists the agency as the Government of Canada, the contracting authority is the City of Calgary, with Cathy Yang serving as the primary point of contact. The services are expected to be delivered entirely within Alberta, with performance occurring at multiple locations throughout Calgary, and the successful proponent will be required to demonstrate proven experience, capable staffing, appropriate equipment, and adherence to strict operational timelines to ensure uninterrupted transit service. The contract does not specify any set-aside provisions, indicating an open competition for eligible providers.
