2027 Infrastructure Renewal Program - Low Level Trunk Sanitary Sewer Realignment Study

The City of London is inviting qualified firms to submit proposals for the preliminary and detailed design of the Low Level Trunk Sanitary Sewer Realignment Study as part of its 2027 Infrastructure Renewal Program. The solicitation, identified as BT-RFP-2026-135, was posted on May 29, 2026, with proposals due by the end of the same day, indicating an urgent and time-sensitive procurement process. The work aims to assess and redesign critical sanitary sewer infrastructure to support long-term municipal resilience and service reliability, requiring technical expertise in civil engineering, sewer systems, and urban infrastructure planning. Proponents must demonstrate proven capability in delivering similar complex utility studies, with a focus on accurate design phases and regulatory compliance. The contract is managed by the Corporation of the City of London, with Mike Mikhael listed as the primary contracting authority and point of contact for all inquiries. Although the solicitation is hosted on the Canada Buys platform and references the Government of Canada in the agency name, the actual procuring entity and place of performance is the City of London, Ontario. The tight submission window and specific scope suggest the City is moving quickly to secure design services ahead of future construction phases, with no set-aside provisions indicated. The project does not include construction, but rather the foundational engineering work necessary to enable future infrastructure upgrades, positioning the selected firm to play a critical role in the city’s long-term drainage and public health infrastructure strategy.
