Phase 1 ITQ - EP922-270370 Irrigation Upgrade AAFC Research Farm, Vauxhall, Alberta

The Government of Canada, through the Department of Public Works and Government Services, is seeking proposals to upgrade the irrigation infrastructure at the AAFC Research Farm in Vauxhall, Alberta, under solicitation number WS5792148372. The project involves replacing five outdated pivot irrigation systems with a new low-pressure pivot and linear irrigation system capable of covering the 120 hectares of irrigated crop trials at the 192-hectare facility. The current systems are inadequate for the research program’s needs and lack modern remote operation and monitoring capabilities. Accompanying this upgrade is the repair and enhancement of existing tile drainage infrastructure and the replacement of a deteriorated pump house that no longer supports the expanded water demands of the improved system. The work must be completed to ensure seamless integration with future research activities and operational efficiency. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline of August 7, 2026, at 7:00 PM MT, with no late submissions accepted under any circumstances. The contract falls under NAICS code 221310 and is open to all eligible bidders without set-aside restrictions. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Matthew Virakorn, Contracting Authority, reachable via email at matthew.virakorn@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca. All work is to be performed at the Vauxhall Research Farm in Alberta, and interested parties are encouraged to review the full tender details through the official Canada Buys portal to ensure compliance with all requirements and technical specifications.
