Sperling Ave. MH7B Hatch Replacement Project

The Sperling Ave. MH7B Hatch Replacement Project, issued by Metro Vancouver (Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District) under solicitation 26-0609, involves replacing damaged aluminum hatches at Manhole 7B with heavy-duty, spring-assisted steel access hatches. The scope of work includes the design, supply, fabrication, and hot-dip galvanizing of a hatch support platform designed to incorporate three Metro Vancouver-supplied USF access hatches, as well as two additional platforms, a staircase, and handrails. Key deliverables include B.C. P.Eng. sealed drawings and a calculation package. The project requires the contractor to maintain a comprehensive quality plan and Inspection & Test Plans to ensure compliance with technical specifications and engineering standards. Fabrication is estimated to take approximately 12 weeks following the receipt of a purchase order. All completed materials must be palletized and delivered via a Hiab-equipped crane truck to the Production Way Operations Centre in Burnaby, BC. Proposals are due by October 26, 2026, and will be evaluated based on a 65% weighting for firm and staff qualifications, experience, and project methodology. Award decisions are based on the greatest value, with a focus on technical capabilities and corporate expertise. Payment will be processed through monthly progress billings, with all costs quoted in Canadian dollars.
