Sylvan Lake Regional Water/Wastewater Commission - Request for Proposal - PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES: REGIONAL WASTEWATER LINE EXTENSION AND LIFT STATIONS

The Sylvan Lake Regional Water/Wastewater Commission is a regional services commission established in accordance with the Municipal Government Act and the Sylvan Lake Regional Wastewater Commission Regulation AR 53/2008(Repealed). The Commission was established in 2008 to transport wastewater from its member municipalities to treatment facilities at the City of Red Deer Wastewater Treatment Plant via a network of transmission lines connecting to several member municipalities. The current member municipalities include nine municipalities: Town of Sylvan Lake, Lacombe County, Red Deer County, Summer Village of Birchcliff, Summer Village of Half Moon Bay, Summer Village of Jarvis Bay, Summer Village of Norglenwold, Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove, and the Town of Eckville. Over the past 18 years, the Commission has been expanding the system to connect all of its members. The last project was in 2021 when the Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cove was connected to the system. As part of its business plan review in 2025, the Commission conducted a review of a future connection (herein referred to as the Stage 5 line) to the Summer Village of Half Moon Bay, Lacombe County and new member, the Town of Eckville. This review resulted in a revised design and alignment that would connect all of these members. A copy of this study is referenced Appendix “B”. In November of 2025, the Commission submitted a Water for Life grant application to the Province of Alberta to fund construction of this wastewater line and related lift stations. In July of this year, the Province awarded the Commission a Water for Life Grant to complete this work. This grant, along with a previous announcement in 2023 would see the Province fund 90% of this project. In addition to the construction of the Stage 5-line, two member municipalities will be constructing internal systems to connect to the regional line. Coordination with the Summer Village of Half Moon Bay and Lacombe County will be an expectation of the project manager.
