Park Natural Areas - Trail Maintenance, Construction and Renovation Contract

Request for Quotations

PURPOSE

The City of Surrey (the “City”) invites contractors to provide a quotation on the form attached as Schedule B – Form of Quotation to Attachment 1 – Agreement (the "Quotation") for the supply of the goods (if any) and services described in Schedule A – Specifications of Goods and Scope of Services to Attachment 1 – Agreement (the "Goods and Services").

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labour, materials, supplies, and transportation necessary for the maintenance and construction or renovation of natural area trails found in forests, meadows or shrub lands. Maintenance includes the repair of tread surfaces, ‘blowing’ of leaves in the fall, maintenance of trail drainage features, and the shearing, mowing or pruning of vegetation adjacent to the trail. Construction is the installation of a new trail through a natural area such as a meadow or forest, whereas renovation is the replacement or expansion of the tread surface on an existing trail.

To complete the maintenance portion of the contract the Contractor will need a variety of equipment, including truck and trailer, preferably with dumping capability, and small loaders such as bobcats or track dumpers to do tread surface repairs. Additionally, a tractor mounted boom mower is required for a relatively small amount of the vegetation work.

For construction and renovation projects, the Contractor will require the aforementioned equipment plus at least a mini-excavator to grub out areas in preparation for new trails.
