The Halifax Regional Municipality, in response to a need and desire to standardize tender specification practices, has adopted as its model the Standard Specifications for Municipal Services. As active participants on the Joint Committee during the development of the Standard Specification document, staff of the Halifax Regional Municipality has become familiar with and contributed input into the creation of this standardized approach to Municipal Specification development. It is acknowledged that the Standard Specifications for Municipal Services is a general resource tool and reference document for Municipal Works undertaken within the Halifax Regional Municipality.
