Sidewalk Snow Clearing

The City of Saskatoon is soliciting quotations under RFQ 26-0511 for a qualified contractor to provide sidewalk snow clearing services. The scope of work involves clearing snow and ice down to the concrete or asphalt surface and applying ice melt during freeze-thaw cycles on sidewalks adjacent to private properties where owners have failed to meet their obligations under Bylaw No. 8463. The contractor is required to provide time-stamped before-and-after photographs of all work within 24 hours of completion and submit monthly invoices. Performance will be monitored through periodic inspections focusing on reliability, communication, punctuality, and quality of work. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest total price following a three-stage evaluation process that includes a mandatory compliance review and a pricing analysis to identify abnormally low or unbalanced bids. Successful respondents must provide proof of general liability insurance with a limit of at least 5 million dollars per occurrence and a Saskatchewan WCB Clearance Letter within 14 calendar days of notification. The contractor will act as the prime contractor and must comply with all applicable Saskatchewan health and safety legislation. Payments are processed within 28 days of receiving a proper invoice, and the contractor must maintain all document records for seven years following the expiry or termination of the agreement.
