On-call Hydro Excavating Services

The City of Port Moody is seeking multiple qualified contractors to provide on-call hydro excavating services through a Standing Offer Agreement. The contract includes both pre-scheduled work and emergency requests, requiring the maintenance of 24-hour emergency service for the duration of the term.

Contractors are responsible for providing all necessary labor, equipment, and materials, and must ensure the proper removal and disposal of excavated materials at approved facilities. Compliance with WorkSafeBC safety regulations, the BC Provincial Motor Vehicle Act, and CSA standards is mandatory. Proponents must provide a valid City of Port Moody business license, a WorkSafeBC clearance letter, and proof of insurance. The selection process involves a two-stage evaluation consisting of an initial screening for mandatory qualifications followed by a secondary evaluation based on specific criteria. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bidding System by October 22, 2026.
