WORK DESCRIPTION

Parks Canada Agency (PCA) is inviting qualified Design-Build (D-B) bidders for the design, supply and install of a floating walkway in the Pukaskwa National Park.

The objective of this project is to have a replacement walkway installed which is able to cope with changing water levels, lots of foot traffic, and changing seasons. The replacement should require minimal maintenance, and have an annual inspection plan which can be carried out by on-site maintenance staff. The replacement will be ecologically friendly and have no long term impacts on the ecological integrity of the wetland in which it will be situated.

The objective of this RFP is to retain an individual Contractor or Joint Venture to provide the complete design-build work for the design, supply and install of floating docks as outlined in the Terms of Reference and Specifications.

To assist with bonding and insurance requirements, this project is estimated at a value between $250,001 > $ 500,000, taxes extra.
