2026 Priority Drainage Improvements

The City of Vernon is inviting qualified contractors to submit bids for the 2026 Priority Drainage Improvements project under solicitation number 26-38-INF, with a mandatory response deadline of August 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive drainage enhancements in the Eastside and Sunset Road catchment areas, including culvert and headwall installation, riprap placement, road detours, stream bypass systems, and regrading of Smith Road. This project aims to mitigate flooding risks and improve water flow across the region through targeted infrastructure upgrades. All work must be executed in compliance with municipal standards and environmental regulations, and bidders are expected to account for logistical challenges such as traffic management and stream protection during construction. Interested parties must register on the BC Bid website to participate and are advised to verify all specifications directly with the City of Vernon, as the provided details serve only as a reference. The official point of contact for inquiries is Elwira Sharp at esharp@vernon.ca, and while bidding information is accessible via the Biddingo website, the city is not responsible for inaccuracies or omissions on third-party platforms. The project location is in Vernon, British Columbia, despite references to a California address in the data, and all proposals must demonstrate technical competency, local experience, and adherence to the timeline and performance criteria outlined by the city. Failure to comply with registration requirements or submission deadlines will disqualify bids outright.
