Description

PROJECT BACKGROUND: The McLean Creek Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Public Land Use Zone (PLUZ) is a high-use recreation area within Kananaskis Country providing public access to an extensive network of designated OHV trails. The Fish East and Fish West truck trails provide important access between the McLean Creek staging area and the broader trail network and are used by recreational OHV users, random campers, hunters, non-motorized users, emergency responders, and Alberta Forestry and Parks personnel. Two existing vehicular bridge structures located on the Fish East and Fish West truck trails have sustained significant flood damage and deterioration and are considered structurally deficient and unsuitable for continued use. Replacement of the structures is required to restore safe and reliable access to the trail network. The Work will be completed under a Design-Build delivery model. The Contractor shall be responsible for the detailed engineering design, supply, delivery, construction, installation, testing, commissioning and completion of the bridge replacement works. PROJECT OBJECTIVE: The objective of this project is to procure a qualified Contractor through a competitive Request for Quotation (RFQ) process to replace two structurally deficient truck bridges located on the Fish East and Fish West trails within the McLean Creek Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Public Land Use Zone. The project will restore safe and reliable access for recreational users and Alberta Forestry and Parks operations by supplying and installing two new truck bridges, constructing bridge abutments and sustainable trail approaches, implementing erosion and sediment control measures, installing a metre rock barrier to eliminate unauthorized creek crossings, and restoring all disturbed areas. Delivering both bridge replacements under a single construction contract will provide a consistent approach to construction, environmental protection, and project delivery while improving the long-term safety, functionality, and sustainability of the trail network. Refer to the RFQ document for additional information and complete scope of work. Additional Requirements: The prime Contractor must provide a valid standard Certificate of Recognition (COR), or a valid Temporary Letter of Certification (TLC) for a standard COR, or a COR Equivalency Letter (COREL) for out of province Proponents.
