Tri-Axle Dump Truck Registry for Snow Hauling Services

The City of Timmins is establishing a registry for tri-axle dump truck services to supplement snow clearing operations from approximately mid-November 2026 through the end of April 2027. The contract is based on a unit price of 112.50 dollars per hour, which includes the operator. Eligible vehicles must be mechanically sound for winter conditions and feature a minimum water level dump box volume of 15.70 cubic yards, a 10-inch high side board on the driver's side, and both audible and visible box-up alarms as well as audible back-up alarms. Bidders must submit electronic proposals via the designated Bidding System by October 14, 2026, at 2:00 pm. Mandatory submission documents include WSIB information, insurance details, and a list of drivers. Award decisions are based on the net present value of total contract prices, though the City may consider financial and technical capabilities, bidder reputation, proximity of service centers, and adherence to social or labor policies. Successful contractors must complete the City's Contractor Orientation by November 15, 2026, and maintain comprehensive insurance, including Commercial General Liability of at least 2 million dollars per occurrence and Automobile Liability of 2 million to 5 million dollars depending on vehicle weight. Payment is processed via Electronic Funds Transfer after the submission of daily time tickets that match the final invoices.
