Annex Dike Improvements & Fernie Valley Pathway

The City of Fernie is asking interested and qualified contractors to provide a prequalification submission for construction works including, but not limited to earthworks, riprap erosion protection, earth dike raising and other outdoor infrastructure, stormwater works, retaining walls, grading, paving, park amenities such as benches and signage, pathway grading and paving, landscaping improvements and rehabilitation, pedestrian bridge construction, access road construction, environmental monitoring, construction survey layout, quality control and materials testing and other miscellaneous associated works.

The project’s budget is anticipated to be approximately $7,000,000, comprised from various grants and contributions by the City. The City plans to prequalify a maximum of three (3) Applicants.

Submissions, rather than tenders, have been requested to afford Applicants a more flexible opportunity to employ their expertise and innovation, and thereby satisfy the City’s needs in a more cost-effective manner.

Drawings are provided in Appendix A of this RFPQ. These drawings are provided as an indication of the scope of work but they do not encompass the entire scope of work of the subsequent tender. It should be expected that additions, deletions, and revisions will be made to the drawings and the scope of work prior to tendering the project to the prequalified Applicants.

It is anticipated that these works will commence in Spring 2022, subject to approvals from regulatory agencies. The City will gain the required regulatory approvals unless specified in the Tender Document. The target completion date for these works is December 2022.
