Parks Canada Agency (PCA) is seeking a qualified contractor to supply all materials, equipment, labour and transportation necessary to construct up to 20 km of hiking trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, near Ingonish, Nova Scotia. The purpose of this project is to repair and replace trail that was damaged by flooding in November 2021. This project will create sustainable trails in the park that are better suited to withstand future extreme weather events and high use. A professional trail design team has assessed the trail damages and has made recommendations for repairs, upgrades, and significant realignments to the existing trails to improve sustainability and enhance the user experience. This project includes the construction of up to 20 kilometer trail, which is broken into 3 trails and 6 segments. Successful bidders will have until March 31, 2025 to complete the work. Archaeology testing will be required ahead of any construction activity that involves ground disturbance. The procurement of archaeology testing will be the responsibility of Parks Canada; however, successful bidders will be required to tailor their construction schedule to give adequate time for archaeology crews to complete their work on a segment of trail prior to any construction work on that segment being started. | Government contract · CanPursue
