Reconnection of Watermain Beaver Creek Institution

Correctional Service Canada is seeking an experienced contractor to replace a damaged 200 mm watermain section at Beaver Creek Medium Institution in Gravenhurst, Ontario, which was previously isolated due to failure beneath a concrete pad. The project aims to restore a continuous looped water distribution system that was disrupted, thereby eliminating dead-end conditions and mitigating water hammer issues that have developed in the network. The contractor is responsible for all aspects of the work including demolition, excavation, trenching, removal of the old pipeline, and backfilling and restoration of the new installation. The scope also includes supply, installation, tie-in, disinfection, testing, and commissioning of the new watermain, along with providing all necessary test results to the authority. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, disposal, permits, and incidental services required for completion. Prior to beginning work, the contractor is required to verify all existing site conditions, including utility locations, dimensions, elevations, and tie-in requirements, and must not rely solely on provided as-built drawings, which are for reference only. Any issues arising from failure to conduct accurate field verification will not be compensated as extra work. All work must comply with technical and regulatory standards, and the contractor assumes full responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of their pre-construction assessments. The solicitation, numbered 21422-27-5464975, was posted on August 4, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026, and is managed by Elizabeth Lake of Correctional Service Canada, reachable via email or phone for inquiries. The contract is a federal procurement under the Government of Canada and will be executed at the Beaver Creek Medium Institution.
