DESCRIPTION

The fishermen’s wharf at Cap-aux-Meules has been the subject of a structural analysis completed in 2020. Following this analysis, several sections of the wharf were found to be very critical. As a result of the observed damages to the concrete beams, the loading capacity of some sectors has been greatly diminished. In addition, mooring of vessels has been prohibited in some areas and some bollards moorings have been out of service. These restrictions significantly disrupt the usual activities at the wharf. 

To offset the prohibited areas, temporary mitigation measures must be put in place. The temporary mitigation measures shall include a temporary wharf put in place in front of the fishermen's wharf. More specifically, the work includes, but not necessarily be limited to:
- Engineering services
- Mobilization of equipment to the Magdalen Islands
- Installation of a temporary wharf facing the fishermen's wharf
- Installation of a walkway between the wharf and the temporary wharf
- Monitoring and maintenance of temporary wharf during their period of use
- Demobilization of Equipment after their period of use.

The contractor remains responsible to determine the equipment required to provide temporary facilities. Method chosen by Contractor shall comply with requirements.
