TULAMEEN OUTDOOR RINK BOARDS REPLACEMENT PROJECT

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen is inviting qualified suppliers to submit proposals for the supply and installation of new dasher boards and upper containment systems at the Tulameen Outdoor Ice Rink. The project aims to replace aging infrastructure with durable, high-performance materials that enhance safety, aesthetics, and long-term usability for community ice sports. Respondents are strongly encouraged to incorporate innovative design solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also deliver added value, such as reduced maintenance costs, improved visibility for spectators, or enhanced weather resistance in outdoor conditions. All submissions must align with the performance standards expected for public recreational facilities while considering the unique environmental challenges of the region. The solicitation, identified as BCRFP-RDOS-26-Community_Planning-089, was posted on April 24, 2026, with a hard deadline for responses on May 22, 2026, at 10:00 PM Pacific Time. Proposals are to be submitted through the Canada Buys platform, and all inquiries should be directed to Michael Ummenhofer, the designated Contracting Authority, at mummenhofer@rdos.bc.ca. Although the solicitation is listed under the Broader Public Sector and government of Canada affiliations, the project is distinctly managed by the RDOS and focused entirely on local community infrastructure enhancement. There are no set-asides specified, and eligibility is open to all qualified vendors capable of delivering and installing the required components on time and within budget.
