New Fire Apparatus

The Municipality of the District of Chester is seeking proposals for the supply and delivery of a single custom-built cab tanker/pumper firetruck to serve the Chester Volunteer Fire Department and Chester Fire Services Committee. This procurement is being managed as a formal solicitation under the reference number MODC-T-2026-024, with a response deadline of July 8, 2026. The apparatus must meet specific technical and operational requirements outlined in the RFP documents, and interested suppliers are expected to demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications to fulfill the scope. Although the tender notice is published on CanadaBuys, bidders must consult the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal for the most current specifications, amendments, and submission guidelines, as updates may not be reflected on federal platforms. Access to full documentation may require registration on a third-party hosting platform, and associated fees could apply. The contract is not subject to any set-aside provisions, and the NAICS code 336120 indicates the procurement falls under the manufacture of motor vehicles, including specialized fire apparatus. The tender is issued by the Municipality of the District of Chester acting as procurement agent, with Libby Vant designated as the primary point of contact for inquiries, reachable via procurement@chester.ca. The posting date on CanadaBuys is June 4, 2026, and while the agency is listed as the Government of Canada, the actual contracting authority is the municipal entity in Nova Scotia. Potential bidders should note that payment terms for proposal documents are not applicable, but compliance with submission requirements, timelines, and technical specifications is mandatory for consideration.
