Work Description:
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is preparing to install a new Weather Radar station near Sechelt, British Columbia. The site is located at the top of Halfmoon Peak and is accessed via an existing forest service road.

A recent on-site assessment of the access road identified several areas of concern for passage of the construction machinery required to build the Weather Radar station, as well as the need to create a cleared and graded construction area, with laydown space, for the station construction.

The Statement of Work (SOW) describes requirements for the following two key objectives:
1) Preparation of the site gravel laydown area (approx. 35m x 40m) including tree cutting, reduction of bedrock level by ~300 mm, grade, and gravel to ensure the crane can operate and steel can be offloaded safely on a flat laydown area (constant ASL elevation); and
2) Road rehabilitation to allow for safe passage of heavy-duty vehicles, such as a 42ft trailer, flat bed, 110 tonne crane, etc., ascending and descending the mountain from the entrance of R15528 TELUS Road to the specified radar location, a distance of approximately 3,500m.
The Work under this Contract consists of clearing, access road, drainage and site grading improvements for Environment And Climate Change Canada (ECCC), hereinafter called the Owner.

The Work includes the following components:
.1 Trimming, cutting and off-site disposal for non-merchantable vegetation along approx. 3,500m in length to establish a general corridor 6m in width and 5m high.
.2 Select cutting and stockpiling of merchantable timber as identified on the Contract Drawings.
.3 Installation or extension of 24m - 450mm diameter culverts, min. 8m long.
.4 Supply, place and compact a granular overlay on the existing access road to 4.0m wide width, materials and approximate lengths as identified in the Contract Drawings to ensure a road travel speed of 15km/hr.
.5 Roadway modifications and site pad construction including removal of rock, excavation, subgrade and embankment preparation, road structure, drainage, road and embankment surfacing and hydroseeding.

Site Visit:
There will be no scheduled site visit.

Delivery Date: 
The Contractor must perform and complete within 10 weeks from the date of notification of acceptance of the offer.

Estimated Value: 
To assist with bonding and insurance requirements, this project is estimated to cost approximately between $500,001.00 and $1,000,000.00 (GST included).
