Public summary

This appears to be an open DFO tender for upgrading underground power distribution and communications infrastructure at the Pacific Science Enterprise Centre, 4160 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, British Columbia. The work potentially matches an electrical contractor, civil contractor, or qualified general contractor able to coordinate both disciplines. The expected work includes excavation and trenching; shoring, backfill, compaction, and surface restoration; underground electrical and communications conduits; distribution cabling; access vaults and pull boxes; outdoor electrical kiosks, panels, breakers, and related equipment; and electrical infrastructure for electric-vehicle charging equipment. The contractor would also be responsible for utility coordination, maintaining facility operations during construction, inspections, testing, commissioning, documentation, and as-built drawings. A mandatory site visit is expected to be coordinated with qualified bidders during Phase 2. All work, including cleanup and demobilization, must be completed by March 19, 2027. The stated closing time is November 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The tender data lists the province as Ontario in one field, but the described work location is West Vancouver, B.C.; this discrepancy should be confirmed in the official notice. The supplied information does not include the estimated contract value, bonding or security requirements, insurance requirements, detailed technical qualifications, bid submission instructions, or the exact site-visit process. Review the complete official tender documents carefully and verify all requirements, deadlines, amendments, and eligibility conditions before deciding whether to submit a bid.Official document: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/111714/30008413---rfq-%28en_final.pdf
