Civil Engineering Consulting Services Mountain Highway Improvements (Arborlynn Drive - Hwy #1 WB Ramps)

The District of North Vancouver is seeking proposals from qualified civil engineering design consultants for the Mountain Highway Improvements project, specifically between Arborlynn Drive and the Highway 1 westbound ramps. The scope of work involves providing preliminary and detailed design, preparing a tender package, and serving as the Engineer of Record and providing construction engineering services. The project has two primary goals: completing a missing link in the active transportation network to create a safe multi-modal corridor and reconfiguring lane geometry to increase southbound traffic capacity and reduce congestion. Key technical requirements include conducting turning movement analysis for HSU trucks, performing a full site survey in NAD83(CSRS) and CGVD28 standards, and securing a BC MoTT Highway Use Permit. The procurement process, identified as RFP-066-26, evaluates proposals based on best overall value. Mandatory submission requirements include a Proponent Information Form, a Financial Proposal Form, evidence of insurance, and a WorkSafeBC clearance letter in good standing. The anticipated award date is November 27, 2026, with a strict construction completion deadline of March 31, 2028, to meet external funding requirements. Selected consultants must maintain Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability insurance and adhere to BC MoTT and TAC geometric design guidelines. The contract will be governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia, and payments for itemized invoices will be processed within 30 days of receipt.
