Town of Okotoks - Negotiated Request for Proposal - Construction Services for Foothills Okotoks Regional Water Project - Raw Water Reservoir

The Town of Okotoks is seeking proposals for the construction of a 300,000 cubic meter raw water reservoir as part of the Foothills Okotoks Regional Water Project, which will supply raw water for potable treatment to the town. The reservoir will be open to the atmosphere and include a synthetic liner, underdrain and venting system, geocomposite layer, pump station intake screen and support structure, water main installation, gravel road construction, fencing, landscaping, and embankments classified as a dam with a ‘Significant’ Consequence Classification under Alberta’s Dam and Canal Safety Directive. The project is exclusively owned by the Town of Okotoks and represents a critical infrastructure component for regional water security. All construction must comply with provincial safety standards and engineering specifications for dam construction and water storage facilities. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-04006, was posted on May 25, 2026, and proposals are due by June 23, 2026. The contracting authority is Kathleen Finlay, who can be reached at kfinlay@okotoks.ca. Although the solicitation is listed under the Government of Canada’s procurement portal and references a federal organization type, the project is entirely under the jurisdiction and ownership of the Town of Okotoks, located in Alberta. The place of performance is within the town’s geographic boundaries, and contractors must be prepared to work to exacting environmental, safety, and engineering standards in alignment with Alberta regulatory requirements.
