NOTICE

The Region of Peel relies on this advertisement to notify you of this business opportunity and it is not obligated to notify past or present vendors, contractors, or service providers in any other manner.

Post a bid bond? They could KMA.

Between liability and workers comp. , I spend all I need for customer protection.

They did the same thing with the government bid here, until they found that their "certified" firms couldn't get the carpet clean. Then they gave the bid to us, now it REQUIRES our method to even bid.

Certification DOES NOT make one a better cleaner, it just SAYS he is an educated cleaner.

Just the kind of customer everyone is after
