Constance Cove of Esquimalt Harbour on Vancouver Island, B.C.
Canada

Work Description:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in April/May 2017 for the re-construction an
d modernization of the South Jetty at the Esquimalt Graving Dock (EGD) facility located in Constance Coveof Esquimalt Harbour on Vancouver Island, Esquimalt, British Columbia.  PWGSC is the custodian of the EGD - th
e largest dry dock and ship repair facility on the West coast of Canada 
- and is responsible for its operation and maintenance. The South Jetty 
is one of the facility’s key berthing platforms and must be replaced.

The project will involve the re-construction of approximately 10,000 m2 
of new jetty structure, integrated into the remaining portions of the South Jetty. The project will also re-establish about 300 metres of deep-water berthage for client vessels, effectively increasing the berthing capacity lost at the time of deconstruction. 

Value of Project:
To assist with bonding and insurance requirements, this project is estimated to cost between $50,000,000.00 to $55,000,000.00.
