Fireworks Displays (2027-2028)

The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to provide pyrotechnic services for seven special events over an initial two-year term from 2027 to 2028. The contract may be extended for two additional one-year periods for 2029 and 2030, depending on budget availability and contractor performance. The selected contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and materials, ensuring compliance with Natural Resources Canada requirements, Fire Services approvals, and local bylaws. Key deliverables include detailed display itineraries, product specifications, and a comprehensive safety and risk management plan. Proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale, with an additional 25 points possible through an optional interview for the top three candidates. A critical pricing constraint is the maximum upset limit of 100,000 dollars excluding HST; any bid exceeding this amount will receive zero points for the price criterion. Mandatory submissions include a valid Fireworks Operator Certificate from Natural Resources Canada, an organizational chart, personnel CVs, a work plan, and a safety risk management plan. Payments are processed via Electronic Funds Transfer within 28 calendar days of a proper invoice. The contract is governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada.
