General Contractor Civil Construction EV Charger Installations

The City of Maple Ridge is issuing a Request for Qualifications to prequalify general contractors with proven experience in municipal civil works for the installation of electric vehicle chargers on City-owned property at 12067 240 Street, Maple Ridge, BC. The site serves as an access property for the City’s Engineering Operations Centre and requires contractors capable of managing and coordinating subcontractors while adhering to the Master Municipal Construction Documents Association (MMCD) Platinum Edition 2009 standards. Only contractors registered as civil contractors with BC Hydro will be considered eligible, ensuring compliance with utility coordination requirements. The City aims to establish a shortlist of qualified firms that will later be invited to submit firm-priced tenders for the construction work, streamlining the procurement process. Solicitation number BC26-043 was posted on May 13, 2026, with responses due by June 3, 2026. The contracting authority is Michael Xie, reachable at mxie@mapleridge.ca. Although the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada’s CanadaBuys portal, it is solely a municipal initiative by the City of Maple Ridge. The process does not involve a set-aside program or specific NAICS code, and the focus is strictly on prequalifying contractors based on experience, credentials, and capability to execute civil construction tasks related to EV charger infrastructure. The City will not accept unsolicited bids and will restrict tender invitations to those firms that successfully meet the prequalification criteria.
