Construction Tendering Procedures - The City of Red Deer

Contracting To Work on The City Of Red Deer Projects
Any contractor who is qualified to do the job has a chance to work on a construction project for The City of Red Deer.

The rules are designed to make the Public Tender process as fair as possible to the contractor, The City and above all, to the taxpayers.

There are some differences from the private sector such as additional laws and regulations. The taxpayers must get exactly what was ordered and at the lowest possible price. As well, all work must be awarded in a fair and open process to qualified contractors.

Contractors who follow the rules laid out in the Tender Document will see their bids land on the table to vie with the competition. Contractors who do not follow the instructions will likely see their bids rejected.

The City wants to receive as many bids as possible and therefore wants to avoid rejecting tenders from competent contractors. But if a tender application is late, not completed properly, or has any other violation of the process, then The City may have no choice but to reject it. Rejecting applications is a waste of time for both The City and the Contractor who went to the time and trouble of tendering a job only to be disqualified for something that could easily have been avoided.
