With space running out at the Ridley Island landfill site, the City of Prince Rupert is moving forward with its plans for an expansion for the landfill property, with the first step a call for tenders for Construction Services for Landfill Expansion and Electrical Upgrades.
In their bid package released this week the City notes that the work involved will include site preparation, excavation, rock supply and installation, pipe work and liner installation.
As well the project will require the supply, installation and commissioning of pumps, controls and the associated infrastructure that is required to operate them.
The request for bids closes at 5PM on Monday, June 18th.
The timeline for the project would see the contract for work to be awarded on or before Tuesday, June 26th with the successful bidder expected to have substantial performance on site on or before October 19th of this year.
As part of the bid process a mandatory visit by those who are interested has been scheduled for Wednesday June 6th.
The full scope of the city's expectations from the project can be found from the BC Bid site.
The need to expand the City's landfill made for part of the discussion related to this year's budget process and was also noted during Mayor Lee Brain's recent Hays 2.0 presentation in April.
More items of note related to the city's infrastructure challenges and projects can be found on our Major projects and infrastructure archive.

Is the landfill actually on Ridley Island? The road leading to it is on the backside of our(Kaien)Island.
ReplyDeleteThe land fill is located on the Ridley Island Access Road, though looking at a map of that immediate area, you could be correct in the actual definition of it's location I imagine.
