Brewery Lane

Solicitation 2026-109-DSE-ENG is a request for quotations issued by the City of Orillia for storm drainage improvements on Brewery Lane. The scope of work includes the installation of a 1,800 mm diameter maintenance hole, approximately 12 meters of 300 mm diameter PVC storm sewer, and two high-inlet-capacity catch basins. Additional requirements involve excavation, utility protection, roadway and curb reconstruction, grading, and the placement of rip-rap at the existing storm outlet. The contractor is also responsible for erosion and sediment controls, pre- and post-construction flushing, and CCTV inspections of the affected sewer. The evaluation process consists of three stages, focusing on mandatory submission requirements and pricing, with the City reserving the right to consider past performance and reject unbalanced or abnormally low bids. A critical requirement is compliance with the Buy Ontario Act, necessitating that at least 51 percent of the total project value be derived from Ontario-made or Canadian-made goods and services, supported by a Domestic Supply Chain Plan. Technical specifications mandate specific marking tapes for watermains, epoxy coatings for ductile iron fittings, and NSF certification for components in contact with drinking water. Quotations must be submitted electronically via the Bids and Tenders Orillia system by October 19, 2026. Successful bidders must provide a Vendor Direct Deposit Form, insurance certificates, and a WSIB Certificate of Clearance within ten business days of the award. All work must adhere to the Ontario Occupational Health Safety Act and the Accessibility for Ontario’s with Disabilities Act. Performance dates for commencement, substantial performance, and completion are slated for 2026 and will be finalized in the Form of Agreement.
