What to prepare to bid
A general checklist for Ontario. It is not read from this notice.
Liability insurance
Expect commercial general liability insurance and, for vehicles on site, auto liability. Limits: [confirm with the tender documents].
Workers' compensation clearance
A clearance certificate or letter from WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board), in good standing. [confirm with the tender documents]
Bonding
A bid bond or agreement to bond is common on construction tenders, with performance and labour and material payment bonds if you win. In the municipal tenders we reviewed, 10% bid security and 50% bonds were typical. Amounts: [confirm with the tender documents].
Safety recognition (COR)
Ontario's IHSA says a Certificate of Recognition (COR) is voluntary but often required for contracts on public and private construction projects. Check whether this tender asks for one.
Licences and registrations
Trade licences or registrations for the work, where your province requires them (electrical and gas work usually do). [confirm with the tender documents]
Forms to expect
A bid or tender form, bid security if asked, an insurance certificate, your clearance letter, references or past projects, and a list of subcontractors. Submit exactly what the tender documents list.
Ontario extras
Some Ontario towns we reviewed also ask for a Buy Ontario or Canadian-content attestation, an AODA accessibility-training declaration, or Construction Act bond forms (Forms 31 and 32).
Safety role
Some Ontario tenders make the contractor the “constructor” under the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the work area.
