There's some good news for those Prince Rupert residents dodging potholes and navigating the rougher of the city's roads, the City of Prince Rupert is in the homestretch when it comes to preparation for the 2022 Paving program.

City staff will be exploring their options when it comes to the annual paving program as of today, that with the close yesterday of the City of Prince Rupert call for Quotations for the 2022 work.

The RFQ was issued on the BC Bid website on May 25th with a June 6th deadline to submit a quotation  for work on the fifteen projects that have been selected by the Operations Department for the year.

The list is a mix of large stretches in some places and just intersection work in others, a  compilation of the do to list that is bound to leave someone around town wondering why their neighbourhood didn't make the cut for 2022.



The timeline for the work is somewhat fluid and at the City's discretion, but the RFQ on BC Bid notes that the Paving program must be completed before September 24th.

More notes on Civic Operations can be explored from our archive page here.

  1. I don't see where they are going to repair the speed bump from the manhole and air vehicle air dam remover at Safeway's exit to 1st Ave. West. If the equipment is in the area this should be repaired. I will give the city the benefit of doubt an hope it is in the works.

  2. An RFP window of 12 days
    With a deadline to complete by September 8th. (108 days as of June 8th)
    15 sections
    15 866 (m2) = 0.015866 (km2)
    0.015866 (km2) = 0.126 km

    To pave the trail approach in Seal Cove, and not the approach to Seal Cove itself makes me question city operations priorities for our roadways.
