**Marine Atlantic – Port aux Basques Navigation Improvement Project** Marine Atlantic is seeking proposals for major marine construction work in Port aux Basques Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador. The project is intended to improve vessel navigation, reduce harbour maneuvering constraints, strengthen harbour protection, and create additional land that may enhance lobster habitat. **Expected work may include:** - Demolishing and disposing of structures, debris, and electrical components on Vardys Rock. - Moving overburden to an off-site location. - Drilling, blasting, dredging, and excavating earth and bedrock to approximately -9.5 metres Chart Datum. - Reusing excavated material to create an adjacent infill area near Pikes Island. - Reinforcing the infill area with armourstone. - Managing construction so harbour traffic and Marine Atlantic operations are not adversely affected. Construction is expected to take approximately one year, with completion required by the end of the first quarter of 2028. The procurement will use a negotiated, two-stage process. Marine Atlantic expects to prequalify up to three proponents before selecting a preferred proponent using technical and financial considerations, including relevant experience, organizational structure, construction methodology, regulatory compliance, financial capacity, and price. Interested suppliers must first request, sign, and return a confidentiality agreement to obtain the RFP documents and access to the project data site. Requests should be sent to Katie Clark at **[email protected]**. Proposals must be submitted in English. A company or team member may participate on only one proponent team. The notice indicates that the procurement is open to Canadian suppliers and suppliers from applicable trade-agreement partner jurisdictions, subject to the stated federal procurement policy and the RFP requirements. Companies with experience in marine construction, blasting, dredging, excavation, breakwater or armourstone work, environmental and regulatory compliance, and working around active harbour operations may find this opportunity potentially relevant. The notice does not establish that any particular business qualifies. **Important deadline issue:** The tender record lists a closing date of **September 18, 2026 at 1:00 p.m.**, while the notice text states that proposals are due **December 11, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time**. These dates conflict. The notice also contains inconsistent location and province fields, listing North Sydney, Nova Scotia/“NO,” while the project description identifies Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador. Confirm the correct deadline, location, eligibility rules, scope, and submission instructions in the official RFP documents and on MERX before preparing or submitting a bid.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4014177855/abstract?language=EN.
