Engineering Services for Dover Mills Road Reconstruction

Norfolk County is seeking proposals from licensed engineering consulting firms for the reconstruction of Dover Mills Road in Port Dover, spanning approximately 850 meters from Prospect Street to Cockshutt Road. The project involves designing the road to urban collector standards, including the installation of concrete barrier curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, and water, sanitary sewer, and storm water infrastructure. The scope of work encompasses pre-engineering, detailed design, tender preparation, site supervision, and contract administration. Key deliverables include three geotechnical reports compliant with O. Reg. 406/19 and the provision of sealed design documents by professionals licensed under the Ontario Professional Engineers Act. The procurement process utilizes a two-envelope system with a submission deadline of September 29, 2026. Awarding is based on a Price per Point formula, where proposals must first meet a technical benchmark score across criteria such as project understanding, work plan, schedule, and quality assurance. The project timeline targets the completion of detailed design and tender preparation by January 2028, with construction anticipated to begin in March 2028 and reach substantial performance by November 2028, though the County may delay this to the 2029 season. Successful proponents must adhere to strict insurance requirements, including minimum limits of 2 million dollars for commercial general liability, automobile insurance, and professional liability. Compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and WSIB clearance is mandatory. Invoicing must be submitted electronically in PDF, Excel, or Word format, with payments made in Canadian funds via EFT or credit card within 28 days of receipt.
