RFP 2025-04 Aggregate Bins - Requests for Proposals – Meter Pilot Project - Aggregate Bins

In May 2025, the Van Anda Improvement District (VAID) received funding from the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure for the BC Water Meter Pilot Project. The initiative includes 234 connections, comprising new water meter installations, the replacement of existing meters, and the deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) utilizing cellular network AMI endpoints.

The objective of the Pilot Project is to increase the rate of water metering in smaller British  Columbia communities, with a specific emphasis on the single-family residential sector.  Participating communities are expected to collect water consumption data and actively engage in a related research initiative and a collaborative community of practice. The intent is for participating communities to become partners in supporting the provincial government in achieving the pilot project’s overarching goals.

This part of the Meter Pilot Project involves construction of aggregate bins using prefabricated retaining wall concrete blocks. Remove the existing sand and crushed stone from the affected area, level the ground, install the blocks and place the sand and crushed stone into the new bins.

SCOPE OF WORK
1. Construct aggregate bins using prefabricated retaining wall concrete blocks.
