Coquitlam issues call for sidewalk snow removal services
The city is looking for the fastest shovel in town.
Coquitlam recently issued a request for proposals in an effort to find a contractor to salt and shovel sidewalks and walkways and to clear debris after windstorms in several locations around the city.
While the city would still handle roads, the contractor would handle the pedestrian areas around development lands, explained Coquitlam’s director of city lands and real estate Curtis Scott.

“The city owns a variety of lands across the community, and it is important that the properties and sidewalks are maintained during inclement weather,” Scott explained in an email to the Dispatch.
The two-year contract would focus on areas in the City Centre neighbourhood as well as northeast and southwest Coquitlam.
Areas in northeast Coquitlam include parts of Mitchell Street, Burke Village Promenade, David Avenue, Dollar Crescent, and Coast Meridian Road.
The areas in southwest Coquitlam include stretches of Clarke Road, Brunette Avenue, Mariner Way, Austin Avenue, and Dewdney Trunk Road
City Centre areas include addresses on Westwood Street, Glen Drive, Guildford Drive, and Pheasant Street.
The contractor would all have to track all site visits.
The deadline for applications is Nov. 3.
