Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) - *Canada, *British Columbia, Ottawa, ON
This open DFO tender appears to seek a contractor for maintenance dredging at the Ladner Small Craft Harbour in Ladner, British Columbia. Optional work may include repairs to floats, wharves, gangways, decking, wheel guards, bullrails, rubboards, flotation systems, brow logs, fenders, and batter piles, as well as temporarily relocating floats to support dredging. The contractor would generally be responsible for providing all required labour, materials, equipment, tools, services, cleanup, and demobilization. The stated completion deadline is February 28, 2027. The tender is scheduled to close on November 2, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. However, the listing identifies the province as Ontario and the location includes Ottawa, while the described work is in Ladner, BC. This inconsistency should be checked against the official tender notice and current addenda. Bidders may inspect the site and surrounding conditions at their own expense before submitting a bid. The notice highlights access, weather, soil conditions, materials, risks, and other site circumstances that may affect pricing. Several drawings, specifications, disposal-plan documents, and addenda are listed, including Addendum 006, so all available documents should be reviewed before preparing a submission. This opportunity potentially matches Canadian dredging, marine construction, harbour maintenance, and wharf-repair contractors, including businesses able to work in British Columbia. The summary does not establish whether any particular company qualifies. Confirm the official closing time, mandatory requirements, optional-item pricing, site-visit procedures, insurance, bonding, safety, environmental and disposal obligations, Indigenous or subcontracting requirements, and all addenda in the official Canada Buys tender notice before bidding.
