The Town of Antigonish is preparing for a major upgrade of its electrical distribution system, transitioning from 4/12kV to 25kV operation in alignment with the planned commissioning of a new substation expected to be operational by August 2026. Work is slated to commence in late summer 2026, contingent upon the delivery of pole-top transformers currently on order, and will involve a series of phased activities requiring external utility crews. The town seeks to contract one to four two-person Powerline Technician crews equipped with material handling capabilities to perform live-line operations, transformer replacements, and related distribution line work. Responsibilities of the contractors include supplying qualified personnel, vehicles, tools, and equipment, while the town will provide customer communications, traffic control measures, and all necessary conversion materials. Contractors must submit detailed rate structures covering labor, equipment usage, standby time, call-outs, and night work, along with proof of safety qualifications and compliance with the town’s Code of Practice. Resource availability and operational readiness will be key evaluation criteria. The solicitation, identified as TOA-GridMod06052026, was posted on June 5, 2026, with responses due by June 25, 2026. All tender documentation, including amendments, must be reviewed via the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal, as CanadaBuys may not reflect updates. The contract falls under NAICS code 237130 and is managed by the Town of Antigonish, with Lise Roy serving as the primary point of contact. No fees are associated with acquiring the tender documents, though third-party platform registration may be required for access or submission.
