Forestry and Parks - Request for Quotes - Rocky Mountain House District (RMHD) - Beaver Pond Leveler Installation

The contract issued by Forestry and Parks under solicitation number AB-2026-05488 seeks to address rising flood damage on walking trails in the Rocky Mountain House District caused by beaver damming activities. The solution involves installing Flexible Beaver Pond Levelers to regulate water levels and prevent overland flooding, thereby preserving public access to trails within park boundaries. The contractor is responsible for all aspects of the project including mobilization and demobilization of equipment, supplying and hauling materials to the site, erecting public construction signage, and strictly following the installation methods outlined in designated video resources from the Miistakis Institute. All work must be executed in compliance with the specified technical guidelines to ensure effectiveness and environmental responsibility. The contractor must also perform a thorough cleanup of each worksite, removing all debris and disposing of it offsite, explicitly prohibited from using Parks refuse containers. The project falls under the agency’s broader effort to balance wildlife conservation with public safety and recreational use, and all activities are to be coordinated within the legal and operational parameters of Alberta’s public lands. Proposals are due by August 26, 2026, with Kevin Wenzel listed as the Project Manager for inquiries and coordination. The scope emphasizes precision, environmental stewardship, and adherence to documented best practices for non-lethal beaver management.
