Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has a requirement for a paving update at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre (NAFC) in St. John’s, NL.   The scope of work for this project consists of the furnishing of all plant, labour, equipment and material for paving and asphalt repairs.

In general, the work under this contract will consist of, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following:

1. Removal of existing asphalt (full removal in some areas and milling of the top 37.5mm in other areas). 

2. Where required, re-grading of the existing surface and topping with granulars will be required to ensure positive site drainage.   Development of the grading plan to ensure positive site drainage is the responsibility of the contractor.  Low points causing ponding will not be acceptable. 

3. Supply and installation of additional asphalt paving (mill/fill in some areas and compacted base course/surface course in other areas). 

Note that the contractor must incorporate COVID-19 standardized protocols in their site specific Health and Safety Plan.
