Town of Okotoks - Negotiated Request for Proposal - Tree Supply, Planting & Maintenance

The Town of Okotoks is inviting qualified proponents to submit proposals for the supply, delivery, and planting of approximately 400 trees across its parklands over a two-year period, as part of a negotiated request for proposal under solicitation number AB-2026-03451. The opportunity is open to responsive bidders who can demonstrate the capacity to meet technical, logistical, and horticultural requirements for tree procurement and installation, with an emphasis on species suitability, proper planting techniques, and long-term viability within municipal environments. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of May 28, 2026, and all work is expected to occur within the Town’s park system in Alberta. The contract is managed by the Town of Okotoks, with Matthijs Mak serving as the primary point of contact and contracting authority, reachable via email at mmak@okotoks.ca. Although the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada’s procurement portal, the project is locally administered and funded by the Town, not a federal entity. The trees will be planted in public spaces under the Town’s jurisdiction, requiring proponents to coordinate with municipal staff, adhere to local landscaping standards, and ensure ongoing care through the initial establishment phase. Proponents are expected to provide comprehensive documentation on species sourcing, planting protocols, and post-planting maintenance responsibilities to ensure the success and sustainability of the urban forestry initiative.
