Request for proposal: parking area snow removal contract

Winter: November, 2025 — April, 2026

The intent:

To supply labour, equipment, materials and transportation necessary to remove snow from the Joggins Fossil Centre, 100 Main Street, Joggins, Nova Scotia.

Scope of work

The Joggins Fossil Centre is staffed throughout the winter months and is open by appointment for visitors. It is important that access to the site is available at all times for daily access and in case of emergencies.

The Joggins Fossil Institute requires that the driveway and limited areas of the parking lot, are ploughed, and
all ploughed snow deposited in specified locations on site to avoid build-up.

Snow removal should be automatically undertaken when levels of snowfall reach a minimum of 5 cm, or upon contact by staff of the Joggins Fossil Institute. Ideally removal should be complete by 9 am when possible.

All proposals should provide a quotation for the cost of the removal of snow on a “pay per plough” basis.

Proposal information

Your proposal submission must be accompanied by information on the following:
  • Full cost for the project on a “Pay per Plough” basis
  • Any anticipated restrictions to service, including but not limited to: depth of snow, time of day, or
    other considerations that could impact the timeline of snow removal.

Closing date

Friday, November 7, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
Proposals can be emailed to: operations@jogginsfossilcliffs.net; or mailed to: Joggins Fossil Institute, 100 Main Street, Joggins, NS, B0L 1A0.

Selection

Submissions will be assessed in a number of criteria including but not limited to price (the lowest priced proposal may not necessarily be accepted). Only the company, organisation, or the individual selected to undertake this project will be contacted.
