HIGH STREET RECONSTRUCTION - PHASE 1

The Town of Georgina is inviting qualified contractors to bid on the reconstruction of High Street in Sutton, Ontario, specifically the first phase spanning from Dalton Road to River Street and West Street to Highway 48. This project, designated as Phase 1 of a two-phase initiative, must be completed during the 2026 construction season and includes comprehensive infrastructure upgrades such as removal of existing materials, replacement of storm and sanitary sewers, watermain installation, concrete work, bridge rehabilitation, streetlighting enhancements, and full restoration of disturbed surfaces. Technical specifications outlined in Appendix F detail the standards and requirements for execution, and bidders must be prepared to meet all stipulated criteria. The work area is critical to the community as it runs through Sutton’s historic downtown, with active storefronts and residential access points requiring continuous accommodation throughout construction. The successful bidder must prioritize maintaining uninterrupted access for pedestrians and vehicles while minimizing disruptions to local businesses and residents. Phase 2 of the project, involving the final segment between River Street and West Street along with the final asphalt lift for Phase 1 areas, will be tendered separately in 2027. Bidders must understand that while Phase 1 is standalone for now, its completion sets the foundation for future work. The solicitation number is BT-OID2026-033, with bids due by June 8, 2026, and the project is classified under NAICS code 237310. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Stirling Munro, Contracting Authority for the Town of Georgina, reachable via the provided email and phone. All respondents are expected to demonstrate experience with similar municipal infrastructure projects, particularly in densely populated urban environments, and must submit proposals that reflect an understanding of the unique challenges posed by working in a heritage commercial corridor while adhering strictly to the technical and logistical requirements outlined in the tender documents.
