Municipality of Jasper
The Municipality of Jasper, in partnership with Tree Canada, is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to provide turnkey tree planting services at interim housing sites within Jasper, Alberta.

The intent of this project is to establish visual and sound barriers for residents living in interim housing, helping to enhance their quality of life while promoting harmony with the surrounding environment. The plantings are expected to remain in place for the 3–5 year lifespan of the interim housing parcels. Proponents are invited to propose species and planting densities that maximize screening, resilience, and cost-effectiveness within the approved Parks Canada Jasper Townsite Planting List. Consideration should be given to fire resistance, short-term suitability, and where feasible, the potential for future relocation of trees.

The project has a fixed budget of $100,000. Proponents must provide a pricing breakdown that includes:

- Unit cost per tree (supply + planting)
- Watering and maintenance (two growing seasons)
- Mobilization and demobilization costs
- Any other relevant costs

The Municipality encourages cost-effective approaches that balance unit pricing with species selection, barrier effectiveness, and fire resilience.

Scope of Work includes:

Supply and delivery of container-grown trees (minimum 10-gallon / 40L)
- Pre-planting site visits
- Planting in accordance with arboricultural best practices (ISA, BCLNA, etc.)
- Mulch, staking, and browse protection installation
- Watering and maintenance for two growing seasons
- Replacement of failed trees under warranty
- Documentation, photos, and maintenance logs

Key Dates:

Posting Date: September 8, 2025
Closing Date: September 22, 2025 at 14:00 MST
Award: Week of September 29, 2025
Planting Window: October 2025, with option for additional planting in spring 2026

Proposals will be evaluated based on price, methodology, species selection (fire resistance and suitability), experience, and warranty.

Full details, specifications, and appendices (including site maps and Parks Canada guidelines) are included in the attached RFP package.
