Sturgeon County - Pre-qualification Request - Request for Prequalification of General Contractor Alberta Industrial Heartland Waterline Loop

Sturgeon County is seeking to prequalify general contractors for the construction of a new 450 mm diameter water transmission pipeline as part of the Alberta Industrial Heartland Waterline Loop project. The prequalification process aims to identify contractors with demonstrated experience in regional waterline installation, including both open trench and trenchless methods such as horizontal directional drilling and auger boring. Additionally, contractors must have relevant environmental expertise along with the capability to handle both the construction and commissioning phases of major regional water transmission pipelines. This prequalification forms the initial stage of a two-part procurement process, where only those contractors who meet the specified criteria will be invited to submit bids in the subsequent tender phase. The solicitation, issued by Sturgeon County under the Government of Canada, was posted on January 14, 2026, with responses due by February 2, 2026. The contract seeks to engage qualified contractors to ensure a successful and environmentally considerate installation of a critical water infrastructure component within Alberta. Desiree Johannesen is the designated Contracting Authority for any inquiries related to this opportunity.
