Bridge Maintenance and Other Work

This contract, issued by MPA Engineering Ltd. for the Municipal District of Fairview No. 136, involves mobilization, traffic accommodation, and comprehensive repair work across three bridge sites: BF 08553 (Leith River), BF 72379, and BF 73479 (both tributaries to the Peace River). The scope of work includes bridgerail repairs, partial depth repairs to decks, curbs, and legs, timber and steel cap replacements, and the installation of Class 1 heavy rock riprap for erosion control. Specific technical requirements include the driving of six HP310x94 piles at the Leith River site and various pile repairs such as posting, treating, and banding. All work must adhere to the Standard Specification for Bridge Construction, specifically Specification 20.4 for concrete repairs and Specification 7.3.2.2 for girder erection. Bidders must submit their proposals through the bidsandtenders.ca portal by October 6, 2026, including a digital bid bond equal to 10 percent of the tender amount. A mandatory requirement for award is the possession of a valid Certificate of Recognition (COR) or Temporary Letter of Certification (TLC), as SECOR is not acceptable. Environmental compliance is critical, requiring water management plans and fish salvage operations conducted by a qualified professional under a Government of Alberta Fish Research License. The contractor is responsible for scheduling, noting that while the Leith River site has no Restricted Activity Period, other work may be optimized for low flow or frozen conditions. Evaluation is based on the lowest priced compliant bid, with the potential for post-bid verification of experience, equipment, and financial capability.
