2027 Gravel Haul

The R.M. of The Gap No. 39 is inviting bids for the loading, hauling, placing, and spreading of approximately 10,000 cubic yards of gravel on municipal roads during the 2027 construction season. Gravel will be loaded from municipal stockpiles located at Pit #1 (NE 19-05-19 W2M) and Pit #2 (SW 03-05-21 W2M) and hauled to locations designated by the municipality. Contractors are required to provide all labour, equipment, fuel, supervision, and resources necessary to complete the work. Bidders may submit pricing based on either a unit rate per cubic yard per mile (minimum 5-mile haul) or a unit rate per cubic yard, based on an estimated average haul distance of 9.5 miles. The project is anticipated to take place between May 1 and May 31, 2027, with all work to be completed by May 31, 2027, subject to weather and road conditions. The municipality will provide gravel stockpile access and project maps, while assuming responsibility for gravel royalties, road maintenance, and dust control costs. The successful contractor must provide proof of insurance, a Saskatchewan WCB Letter of Good Standing, and demonstrate compliance with Occupational Health and Safety requirements. Payment will be made monthly based on actual quantities hauled, with a 10% holdback retained until project completion and final acceptance. Tender submissions must be received no later than 3:00 PM on Friday, December 4, 2026. Questions regarding the tender must be submitted by 3:00 PM on Friday, November 27, 2026. Contract award is anticipated following the Council meeting on December 9, 2026. Proposals will be evaluated on pricing, experience, equipment condition, project schedule, and safety compliance records, with the contract awarded to the bidder offering the best overall value to the municipality.
