This appears to be an open Correctional Service of Canada opportunity for servicing a three-cell chlorinated-water cistern at Edmonton Institution in Edmonton, Alberta. The work potentially includes replacing four failed underwater isolation valves; isolating, draining, cleaning, disinfecting and refilling the cistern cells one at a time; wet-cleaning the pumping chamber; and visually inspecting the system while it remains in service. The cistern includes two 133,000-gallon storage cells and one 58,500-gallon pumping chamber. The contractor would also need to provide photographs and video of completed work, an itemized deficiency report with recommendations, and related documentation. The procurement is stated to be open only to Canadian suppliers, with award based on the lowest-priced compliant bid. It is not subject to Indigenous-business set-asides or a comprehensive land claim agreement, and no security requirements are indicated. The notice shows a closing date of October 21, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. The tender metadata lists “Edmonton, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,” while the detailed description identifies Edmonton Institution in Edmonton, Alberta; this location discrepancy should be clarified in the official documents. Businesses with relevant cistern, potable-water, disinfection, valve-replacement, confined-space, or institutional water-system experience may find this potentially relevant, subject to the actual solicitation requirements. Review the official request for proposal and notice before deciding to bid, including the statement of work, mandatory requirements, insurance, safety procedures, site-access rules, pricing form, submission instructions, and any applicable licences or certifications.Official documents: https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/108183/2026-09-28-7-54--a-request-for-proposal-english.pdf and https://canadabuys.canada.ca/sites/default/files/webform/tender_notice/108183/2026-09-15-12-48-npp-english.pdf
