The services encompass the collection of waste, recycling, and organic materials in full compliance with federal, provincial, and municipal regulations, including Ontario Regulation 347 under the Environmental Protection Act. The contractor must supply all necessary labor, equipment, containers, and supervision, with the work performed at the campus location and subject to government inspection and acceptance on-site.

All work must align with industry-recognized quality assurance standards and adhere strictly to the contract’s specifications and regulatory obligations.

Additional requirements include the submission of a bilingual supervisor fluent in English and French, prohibition of cameras and recording devices on-site, and mandatory disclosure of any former public servant relationships or potential organizational conflicts of interest. Contractors must also comply with federal ethics codes, anti-bribery provisions, and audit requirements, retaining records for seven years after final payment. Proposals must be submitted electronically in three separate documents—technical offer, financial offer, and completed declaration and submission forms—to a designated email address by the deadline of May 19, 2026. No contract value is specified in the solicitation, and no funding codes or invoicing platforms are pre-identified, with payment and administrative details to be finalized upon award.
