Fitzsimmons Creek Bank Protection Project

The Resort Municipality of Whistler is seeking qualified proponents to design and install three rock spurs made of riprap along the right bank of Fitzsimmons Creek downstream of the Lost Lake Entrance Bridge at Passive House to mitigate ongoing erosion and bank instability. The creek is characterized by steep gradients and frequent debris-laden flash floods that transport large volumes of gravel and cobbles, accelerating bank degradation. The proposed rock spurs are intended to function as hydraulic barriers that reduce direct erosive forces at the base of the bank, stabilizing the area through engineered rock placement within the creek channel. All work is contingent upon securing necessary regulatory approvals, and if permits are not obtained in time to complete construction within the 2026 fisheries timing window, the project may be deferred to the 2027 in-stream work window, with pricing adjusted according to the British Columbia Consumer Price Index to account for increased costs. The solicitation, identified as BC229320, was posted on May 14, 2026, with proposals due by May 26, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 237990 for other heavy and civil engineering construction. Proponents are directed to contact Rob Mellander, the Contracting Authority, for inquiries related to the solicitation.
