The Ministry of Environment and Parks is soliciting proposals for the Tribune Bay Park Parking and Road Improvements project located on Hornby Island, British Columbia.

The project is scheduled to take place from January 4, 2027, to March 15, 2027. All work must adhere to specific design drawings and an Archaeological Site Alteration Permit, with strict requirements for material compaction and the use of wildlife-safe waste containers.

Mandatory criteria for consideration include attendance at a site meeting, submission in English, the inclusion of two references, and the provision of a Qualified Environmental Professional registered to practice in British Columbia. Award selection is based on the highest overall ranking, with price evaluation weighted at 70 points, split between lump sum deliverables and unit pricing. The successful contractor must provide a performance bond and a labour and material payment bond of at least 50 percent of the total contract price. Payment will be processed monthly upon certification by the Ministry Representative, subject to the Financial Administration Act.
