Site work for a civil project in Merritt, British Columbia. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

Through this Request for Proposals, the City of Merritt invites Proposals from organizations that are experienced in civil construction in and around bodies of water, to provide Construction Management Services and Work (as defined in the CCDC5B Contract) for a project to construct a ~300m long earth embankment dike along the Coldwater River adjacent to the City's Public Works Yard and Wastewater Treatment Plant (the "Public Works Diking Project"). Respondents should note that this RFP opportunity relates to the Public Works Diking Project only. Separate from this Project, the City of Merritt has longer-term plans for a much more extensive system of dikes, but those will be dealt with as a separate project and separate public competition(s). The City intends for this Public Works Diking Project to be the first of multiple projects relating to diking works in and around the City of Merritt in the coming years. The Project Work is expected to include: Construction of an approximately 300-meter-long earth embankment dike along the Coldwater River (between Canford Avenue and Quilchena Avenue) in order to protect adjacent areas from flooding events. Majority of the dike is a waterside dike, to include rip-rap erosion protection. Dike to be setback from the river as it transitions toward Quilchena Ave at the confluence with the Nicola River. Works to be conducted through 3 access/egress points; Canford Ave, Quilchena Ave, and the pedestrian bridge (former rail bridge). Dike to be designed and constructed in accordance with current British Columbia standards, including the Dike Maintenance Act and its guidelines. Works shall take account of a FortisBC gas main that is located near to the Dike, which the City is coordinating with Fortis BC to have relocated by others (and not as part of the Construction Manager's Services and Work). Relocation timing is still to be determined. Documents can be obtained from https://interiorpurchasing.bidsandtenders.ca/ Award value is undisclosed.
