Request for proposal: Parking Area Snow Removal Contract

Winter: November, 2024 to April, 2025

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.
