City of Red Deer - Negotiated Request for Proposal - HEAVED CATCH BASINS AND LEAD REPLACEMENTS - 2026

The City of Red Deer is seeking qualified vendors to submit quotations for the replacement of heaved catch basins and leads as part of its ongoing program initiated in 2015 to combat frost heaving damage. This initiative responds to recurring winter-related infrastructure issues caused by freezing and thawing cycles that uplift and displace catch basins, leading to extensive damage to both surface and subsurface systems. Over the years, approximately 850 catch basins and manholes have been replaced and treated to mitigate these effects, and this solicitation aims to continue that work by addressing additional units showing signs of frost movement. The goal is to reduce long-term repair costs and prevent further deterioration of surrounding infrastructure through proactive replacements and frost treatment measures. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-03929, was posted on May 21, 2026, with a response deadline of June 11, 2026, at 2:30 PM MT. Proposals are to be submitted through the Canada Buys platform under a negotiated request for proposal process. The contracting authority is Joel Johnson, and the work is to be performed within the City of Red Deer, Alberta. Although the listing incorrectly identifies the agency as the Government of Canada, the procurement is exclusively managed by the City of Red Deer. Vendors must be prepared to meet technical specifications for catch basin replacement and frost mitigation, with emphasis on durability and long-term performance in Alberta’s harsh climate conditions.
