Design, Build, Operation, and Maintenance of Truck Parking Sites in the GTHA

The Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Transportation, is seeking three entities to design, build, operate, and maintain commercial truck parking sites within the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The project involves the development of sites featuring security gates, fencing, concrete barriers, lighting, and security cameras, with the proponent responsible for leasing parking stalls to commercial vehicle operators. The contract is set for an initial ten-year term starting February 1, 2027, with the possibility of two five-year extensions. Bidders must submit technical and commercial envelopes via the Ontario Tenders Portal, including detailed delivery of services plans for both construction and operations. Evaluation is conducted in stages, requiring a minimum technical score of 60% to proceed to the commercial evaluation, which focuses on leasing fees paid to the Ministry. Mandatory requirements include a site-specific health and safety plan, proof of insurance, and tax compliance verification. Performance is governed by specific site development and maintenance standards, with a strong emphasis on quality control and winter maintenance strategies.
