General Contractor Services

School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) is seeking to pre-qualify up to three high-ranking General Contractors to provide services on an as-required basis for a three-year period. This Request for Pre-qualification (RFPQ No. 27-06N) targets projects with an estimated value of less than 200,000 dollars, unless emergency priorities dictate otherwise. The scope of work covers elementary schools, middle schools, secondary schools, and other facilities across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Anmore, and Belcarra. The selection process involves a three-stage evaluation focusing on mandatory criteria, desirable criteria, and reference checks to determine the best value based on service quality and delivery. Prequalified contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least 2,000,000 dollars per occurrence and adhere to all municipal, provincial, and national codes. Safety is a critical requirement, necessitating the adoption of the Board's Contractor Management Safety Manual and the signing of a Designated Prime Contractor Agreement to ensure compliance with the Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulation. Additionally, contractors must comply with the Board's Criminal Record Check policy and strict prohibitions against smoking, alcohol, and drugs on school property. The submission deadline is October 23, 2026, at 15:00 PST, with all documents uploaded via the Bids and Tenders electronic system. Required documentation includes a Proposal Summary, a completed Questionnaire, and signed qualification forms. Once selected, contractors will be eligible for purchase orders based on specific price requests. Payment terms are set at 30 days from the receipt of a detailed invoice. The Board retains the right to suspend or remove contractors from the list for unsatisfactory performance or safety concerns.
