5000033110 - Engineering Services– Cable Way – Multi-Disciplinary Engineering Design (5000033110)

Request for a Regional (Western Canada) Standing Offer to provide multi-disciplinary engineering services on an as-and-when requested basis on behalf of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in support of proposed stream-gauging cableway upgrades.

The Water Survey of Canada (WSC) Branch of Environment and Climate Change Canada maintains hundreds of cableway installations across rivers and streams for the purpose of collecting hydrometric data. Many of these cableway installations were designed and constructed more than three decades ago. A recent safety review identified design and/or safety deficiencies at many of the cableways. WSC requires various engineering services related to the planning, investigation, design and construction of cableway upgrades and/or replacement. 

The services required will vary depending on the upgrades necessary at each cableway station. In general, the work is anticipated to include,

but not limited to :

Site surveying;

Geotechnical investigation;

Civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering design services related to cableway designs (cable, tower supports, anchorages, etc.); and

Tender and construction support services
