The site is located along the right-bank of Mission Creek, immediately upstream of the Scenic Canyon Regional Park "Hollywood Road" parking lot and trailhead at 2080 Hollywood Road South, Kelowna, BC. The toe of the slope has experienced significant scour as a result of recent high flow events in Mission Creek.
Streambank protection measures are required to stabilize the bank and prevent further erosion that could jeopardize the structural integrity of the slope and the adjacent trail. This RFP is issued to select a Contractor to perform that work. All works must be conducted in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), and recognized Best Management Practices (BMPs) for works in and around water.
