GardaWorld offers new tolling and security services
Just as the fiscal year was coming to an end, Halifax Harbour Bridges awarded a $2.7-million contract to GardaWorld to provide toll taking and security services at the Angus L. Macdonald and A. Murray MacKay bridges.
Under the contract, GardaWorld provides 45 staff to the operation, employed as toll takers, bridge patrol and operations rooms supervisors.
The two-year contract can be extended twice, for an additional year each time, for a potential maximum contract length of four years.
“We are pleased to be working with such an experienced company that shares our commitment to exceptional security systems, while attaining the highest levels of customer service.”

GardaWorld Regional Manager Chris Murray said GardaWorld is honoured to join HHB in this new partnership.
“Together, we are positioned to achieve great things and drive innovation in safety and customer service,” said Murray. “Our shared vision and values promise a cohesive collaboration that will benefit both our organizations, staff and most importantly, our valued community.”
The new contract follows the conclusion of a long-standing relationship with Commissionaires Nova Scotia, which chose not to bid on the new tender.
“Commissionaires began providing security to us when the Macdonald Bridge first opened, almost 70 years ago. We thank them for their service and the important role Commissionaires’ staff played in the history of the bridges,” said Wright.
