Beaverlodge Cross Connection Control Implementation Project
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
This appears to be an open, two-phase AAFC procurement for plumbing work at the Beaverlodge Research Farm in Beaverlodge, Alberta. The project involves installing approximately 35 backflow-prevention devices across 10 buildings, including reduced-pressure assemblies, vacuum breakers, air gaps, check valves and mixing valves. Plumbing changes may also be needed to meet applicable codes, specifications and municipal requirements. The site will remain occupied during construction, so the contractor would need to plan phased work, coordinate water shutoffs with AAFC staff and minimize disruption to research and other operations. Trades staff working on site will reportedly need Reliability Status security clearance before starting work. The stated completion deadline is March 31, 2027. The procurement uses a two-phase process: •Phase One: submit qualifications and relevant experience only, following the Invitation to Qualify instructions. •Phase Two: bidders who proceed will receive an Invitation to Tender for pricing based on the specifications and drawings. The Phase One and Phase Two submissions together form the final bid. The tender record lists a closing time of October 28, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.; however, bidders should confirm the exact deadline, time zone, submission method and required Phase One information on page 1 and Section 3 of the official Invitation to Qualify. The project location is Beaverlodge, Alberta, while the listed procuring office is in Regina, Saskatchewan. A plumbing or mechanical contractor with relevant backflow-prevention, commercial or institutional plumbing experience may find this opportunity potentially relevant, subject to the detailed solicitation requirements. The notice indicates that submissions may be made in either official language. AAFC will post amendments and answers through Canada Buys/GETS, and bidders are responsible for checking the official notice regularly. Review the attached solicitation before deciding whether to bid, and verify all experience, security, insurance, licensing, bonding, submission and deadline requirements directly with the official documents.

Description: The objective of this project is to ensure the potable water supply at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is safe and in compliance with applicable codes and guidelines, and municipal bylaws. This project will see the implementation of recommendations from a cross connection control evaluation completed in 2025 at the Beaverlodge Research Farm located at PO BOX 29, 100038 TOWNSHIP ROAD 720, COUNTY OF GRANDE PRAIRIE, Beaverlodge, Alberta, T0H 0C0. There are approximately 35 backflow preventers to be installed in 10 buildings. Backflow preventors include 14 reduced pressure principle assemblies, 3 atmospheric vacuum breakers, 3 air gaps, 1 duel check valve assembly, 9 hose connection vacuum breakers, 3 mixing valves and 1 pressure vacuum breaker. Plumbing rearrangements may be necessary for installation, code compliance, and for implementation of drawing and specification requirements. The site will be fully occupied throughout construction. In order to minimize disruption to operations, construction will need to take into consideration the use and occupancy of the adjacent areas and incorporate phasing and scheduling activities to suit. Water shut downs will need to be coordinated with site maintenance and research staff to ensure as little disruption to the operations as possible. The work will be conducted on AAFC property and will require trades staff to obtain a reliability status security clearance prior to being on site for the work.Basis of selection: This is a two phase selection process. Bidders responding to this ITT are to submit in two phases. Phase One qualification covers only the qualifications and experience of the Bidders.

A combination of the Phase One and Phase Two submissions constitutes the final bid. Initially, Bidders are invited to submit their qualifications in the first phase of the selection procedure. Only the Phase One information asked for in the ITT is to be included in Phase One submissions, and evaluation of Phase One submissions will be carried out only on the Phase One information requested.Construction Time: The Contractor must perform and complete the Work by March 31, 2027.
