Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) - *Langley *Maple Ridge *Fraser, *Fraser, Ottawa, ON
DFO appears to be seeking a contractor for propeller-wash and clamshell dredging at Small Craft Harbour locations along the Fraser River in Maple Ridge and Langley, British Columbia. The descriptionrefers to four sites but lists only three: Kanaka Landing, Mc Millan Island, and Mc Ivor’s Landing. The work involves dredging to specified target depths, with the contractor responsible for supervision, labour, equipment, transportation, materials, quality control, health and safety, and environmental protection. The required work period is restricted to December 1, 2026 through February 15, 2027, under the Fish and Fish Habitat Protection Program. The tender is marked open and closes November 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. The location metadata includes Ottawa, Ontario, but the project description identifies the work sites as being in BC; this discrepancy should be clarified in the official documents. Bidders may inspect the sites at their own expense and are expected to assess access, site conditions, weather, soil, risks, and other factors affecting pricing. The available documents include the invitation to tender, specifications, and two addenda. A dredging contractor with suitable marine equipment, environmental and safety procedures, transportation capacity, and the ability to work within the restricted winter window may find this opportunity potentially relevant. Review the complete official tender notice and all addenda to confirm the site count, submission requirements, mandatory qualifications, bonding or insurance requirements, pricing details, and any environmental permits before deciding whether to bid. Businesses should not rely on this summary alone and must verify the current official notice before submitting a bid.
