Floating Dock Approach Reconstruction, Chance Cove NL

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the Government of Canada is soliciting bids for the reconstruction of a floating dock approach in Chance Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all necessary plant, labor, equipment, materials, and supervision to perform the demolition and removal of an existing marginal wharf, walking bridge, fencing, and floating dock support crib. Subsequent construction activities include building new floating dock approach cribbing, installing a new gangway, and completing uplands work involving granulars and rip rap. The entire project must be completed within 16 weeks of the award date. This procurement utilizes a two-phase selection process. Phase 1 focuses on qualification, requiring offerors to demonstrate marine construction experience through two reference projects completed within the last seven years and provide proof of good standing with WorkplaceNL. Pre-qualified offerors will then be invited to Phase 2 to submit a financial bid. This solicitation is a conditional set-aside under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business; if two or more compliant Indigenous businesses are identified during Phase 1, the competition will be limited exclusively to those businesses. The deadline for the initial response is October 29, 2026.
