Town of Strathmore - Request for Proposal - Wildflower Reservoir Expansion

The Town of Strathmore is seeking design services to expand the capacity of its Wildflower Reservoir to enhance water security, support population growth, and improve system resilience amid increasing demands on its regional water supply from Calgary. The expansion is a strategic response to the aging infrastructure and limited capacity of the Brentwood Reservoir, which the Town is temporarily retaining while evaluating its future decommissioning in alignment with broader regional water supply conditions. The Wildflower Reservoir, already central to the Town’s distribution network, is currently undergoing pumping upgrades to increase fire flow capability and redundancy, and this expansion will further strengthen emergency storage and system reliability. The project requires a detailed technical proposal outlining a construction plan that minimizes service disruption and ensures uninterrupted water delivery throughout all phases of work. Design efforts must prioritize operational continuity, environmental considerations, and long-term scalability to meet Strathmore’s future needs without compromising current service standards. The solicitation, identified as AB-2026-04298 and posted on June 8, 2026, is open for responses until June 25, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services. The contract is managed by the Town of Strathmore, with Colton Hall serving as the primary point of contact for proposals. Although the listing incorrectly identifies the agency as the Government of Canada, the project is a municipal initiative under Alberta jurisdiction, with all performance located within Strathmore, Alberta. Bidders are expected to demonstrate expertise in water storage infrastructure design, experience with reservoir expansions under live operational conditions, and a clear methodology for maintaining uninterrupted water service to the community during construction. The selected firm will deliver a comprehensive technical memo and engineering plans that align with the Town’s strategic water supply objectives and regulatory requirements.
