PURPOSE OF THIS TENDER
This Tender is intended to:
1. Establish a binding contract for unit prices with the low Bidder to undertake flood response activities for
a SPRING flood event for the communities identified in this Contract.
2. Establish a non-binding call-out list for unit prices for all qualified bidders to undertake flood response
activities for possible future SUMMER and/or FALL flood events in the communities identified in the
Contract.
The Work in this Non-Bonded Tender No.: RF-97-170 is generally described below:
The Work in this Tender is part of the Province’s flood fighting efforts and mainly consists of the construction
and removal of clay closures at the openings of the permanent flood protection dikes surrounding Emerson and
West Lynne, MB should they be required.
Manitoba will make every effort to maximize the time period during which important commerce routes on
highways remain open, while not compromising the safe and effective closure of such ring dikes.
The Contractor shall provide specified equipment able to complete the following work activities as required, as
directed by Manitoba, including but not limited to:
• Prepare, excavate, load, haul and place borrow material
• Dike repair, maintenance and emergent work
• Removal of placed borrow material and site clean up, repair and remediation
• Traffic Management
Due to the nature of flood events, the exact scale, timing and extent of the work is largely unknown. There is no
guarantee of quantities. Should dike closures not be required, equipment will not be mobilized and no payment
will be made.
The Work is fully detailed in the Reference Documents on the following page of this Tender.
A drawing of the Community, noting possible closure locations and potential borrow areas, is appended to this
document.
