Town of Canmore - Request for Proposal - RFP - Community Fireguard Project, CNC West Landing-Pile Burning

The Town of Canmore is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to conduct controlled burning of 40 piles of harvested landing-pile debris as part of the Community Fireguard Project at CNC West. The burning can be carried out either as bin-burning between June 15 and September 30, 2026, or as open-air burning between January 4 and March 31, 2027. Equipment must be moved to the site before snowfall and remain in place until spring 2027, after the Nordic ski trails have closed and access routes have dried. A mandatory site viewing will take place on May 19, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, starting at the Canmore Nordic Centre lower parking lot, with proponents required to RSVP by May 14. Proposals must be submitted by May 28, 2026, with Jason Lyon serving as the primary contact for the contract. The project is managed by the Town of Canmore under the Government of Canada and is performed in Alberta. Addendum #1, issued on May 25, 2026, includes a question and answer section relevant to the solicitation. The process emphasizes compliance with the specified operational windows and logistical constraints to ensure proper access and environmental considerations during the burning operations.
