The County of Northern Lights is seeking contractors with experienced, project Leadhands, or Project Coordinators, Operators, and Equipment to assist the County on site specific Road Repair Construction Projects within the County of Northern Lights geographical area.

Sites can be located anywhere between Hawk Hills north of the Town of Manning, to the South border (Township Road 840) north of Hwy 2 near the Town of Peace River. During the 1970 and 1980’s it was common practice to leave topsoil and organics below road embankments. In many locations across the County these organics have made their way up through the road and show up on the top of the road as soft spots. If the ditches beside the road have trapped water, the soft spots continue to cause holes in the road well into the summer. This project is to repair these spots. The work will consist mainly of soft spot repair, centerline culvert replacement, and small drainage improvements. The repair method will be to excavate the soft spot a minimum of one meter depth and if organics still remain place a geotextile fabric and build the road embankment back up. The proponent will work with the road supervisors in locating borrow sources and disposal locations close to the soft spots. Fabric will be purchased by the County. Gravel will be hauled from County gravel sources. In some instances, the County may supply some equipment such as a loader, backhoe, or skid steer to assist with the project. The successful proponent will be responsible for the administration, first calls, the installation of temporary work signage and or detours, (signs may be provide by the CNL) project supervision, monitoring of equipment, safety related programs and weekly toolbox meeting reports, reporting directly to the area Road Supervisor(s). Bid documents can be obtained from the County Administration Building or calling (780) 836-3348 for a $25.00 non-refundable fee commencing April 04, 2022.
