FRTP - GC-2 - RFQ

The Province of British Columbia, through the Ministry of Transportation and Transit, is inviting qualified parties to express interest in the GC-2 – North Cut & Cover, North Ramp component of the Fraser River Tunnel Project via Request for Qualifications BC230730. This solicitation aims to identify up to two respondents with the technical expertise, experience, and capacity to advance to the subsequent Request for Proposals phase, where a target price construction contract may be awarded for the specified tunnel component in accordance with the Province’s design. Participation in this RFQ does not constitute an offer or tender, and no contract will result directly from this stage; it serves solely as a pre-qualification step to narrow eligible candidates for the next phase of procurement. Responses are due by August 11, 2026, and must demonstrate the respondent’s suitability for complex underground construction projects, including experience with cut-and-cover methodology and ramp structures. The process is managed by the Contracting Authority at FRTP.GC2@ticorp.ca and is publicly accessible through the Canada Buys portal. Although categorized under federal procurement systems, the project remains under the jurisdiction of the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Transit, with the work location tied to the Fraser River Tunnel alignment in British Columbia. Eligible parties are encouraged to review the full RFQ documentation to understand evaluation criteria and submission requirements prior to the deadline.
