Phase 2 - Two Jack Lakeside Utilities Upgrade Design and Construction Administration, Banff National Park

Parks Canada Agency is soliciting proposals for the design and construction administration of potable water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades at the Two Jack Lakeside Campground in Banff National Park, Alberta, through a two-stage process where only pre-qualified suppliers are eligible to respond in this second stage. The scope of work requires an engineering consultant to deliver comprehensive professional services aligned with current regulatory standards and long-term asset management goals, with deliverables including detailed design documentation, tender support, and ongoing construction oversight. The contract, identified by solicitation number 5P468-26-0035/A and issued under NAICS code 541330, has a firm completion date of December 1, 2028, and is governed by a suite of standard and supplementary conditions that impose binding obligations on personnel, language use, site compliance, and integrity. Key requirements include a mandatory bilingual service delivery capability in English and French, strict substitution rules for designated key personnel with penalties up to 10% payment reduction for unauthorized replacements, and adherence to all Parks Canada site policies including environmental protection and cultural heritage safeguards. Proposers must submit a technical proposal and a separate price proposal within strict page limits—12 pages for the technical component—and must certify compliance with federal integrity policies, including disclosure of any former public servants receiving lump sum payments or potential conflicts of interest. The procurement follows a best-value trade-off approach, where technical merit and price are equally weighted, with proposals exceeding 25% above the average price disqualified. No security clearance is required, but the consultant must provide a valid Procurement Business Number and demonstrate team experience in rural and mountainous infrastructure projects. The contract is subject to no-fault termination with 30 days’ notice and does not include options for extension or additional scope, with payment limited to work already accepted upon termination. Deliverables and packaging must conform to the PWGSC Documentation and Deliverables Manual, and submissions are accepted only via email to soumissionsami-bidsrpc@pc.gc.ca or fax, with a deadline of July 7, 2026.
