23TDRPAR8095 - Engineering and Construction Administration Consultant Services for Site Upgrades at Castle Provincial Park

Castle Provincial Park (CPP) is located 145 kilometers south west of Lethbridge, Alberta and is approximately 25,500 hectares in size. The Provincial Park offers a wide variety of camping and day-use activities and in designated areas motorized recreation opportunities are permitted. Random camping and OHV use was permitted throughout most of the Provincial Park until 2017-18. Since that time, access has been gradually restricted in areas with public safety concerns, environmental sensitivities and in areas that did not meet regulatory requirements. To meet public demand and maintain this camping experience, additional designated camping areas (DCA) were built throughout the Provincial Park in approved/vetted nodes. Most of these nodes were open for public use during the 2022 camping season.

The land base and infrastructure within CPP requires further improvements and reconfiguration in order to address the changing needs of the public, regulation changes, and to continue to provide an enjoyable and safe camping experience.

The purpose of this RFP is to invite Proposals from qualified Proponents who demonstrate sufficient experience and qualification to provide assessment, design and construction administration services for a series of site upgrades as specified within this RFP.
