Snow Dump Facility Maintenance

The City of Red Deer is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2026-095 for the management and operation of its permanent snow dump facilities, specifically the North Site at Edgar Snow Dump and the South Site at 40 Avenue. The scope of work involves optimizing the height and volume capacity of the sites, protecting perimeter fencing, and potentially providing summer snow-melting operations. The contract is for an initial term of one year, with the City holding the sole discretion to extend the agreement for up to four additional one-year increments. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the bids&tenders portal by October 30, 2026. Evaluation is conducted in two stages, with a weighted point system focusing on rated criteria and pricing; in the event of a tie, the proponent with the highest score in the Equipment Type, Age and Model category will be selected. Required submissions include pricing via an online form, as well as document uploads detailing company and operator experience, a contingency plan for equipment failure, and CVIP inspection documentation for all listed equipment. The successful supplier will act as the prime contractor and must comply with Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Act, Workers Compensation Act, and Labour Relations Code. The City encourages proponents to hold a Certificate of Recognition (COR). Payment terms are set at 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice containing a purchase order number. The final agreement is governed by standard terms and conditions and includes strict requirements regarding the maintenance of key personnel and the operational readiness of all equipment.
