Paperwork specific to Ontario

Contracts delivered in Ontario typically ask for a workers' compensation clearance letter from Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Request it early, because the letter must be current on the closing date.

What evaluators typically weigh in landscaping bids

A site-by-site work plan with visit frequency per season.
Equipment list and crew size matched to the total area, not just the contract price.
Proof of pesticide/herbicide licensing when chemical applications are in scope.

General guidance for this type of work. The notice's own documents set the actual criteria and weighting.
