CABLEWAY REPAIRS – WATER SURVEY OF CANADA STATION AT CHUCHINKA CREEK NEAR THE MOUTH, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (07EE009)

SUMMARY:Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) maintains cableway and hydrometric gauging stations across approximately 500 sites in the Pacific and Yukon areas. The hydrometric data support activities such as policy development, infrastructure design, water allocation, flood and drought response, recreation, navigation, ecosystem protection, and scientific study.Hydrometric stations typically consist of a “walk-in” or “look-in” instrument shelter and a cableway or metering bridge to measure discharge. Other structures include helicopter pads and access stairways.Many of the hydrometric stations were built decades ago where structural degradation has occurred over time. As such, infrastructure deficiencies and safety concerns have been identified; requiring repairs and upgrades to return these stations to operational condition.ECCC requires a Contractor to conduct construction activities to upgrade the existing cableway to a level of safety acceptable for manned operation at the Water Survey of Canada Station Chuchinka Creek near the Mouth, B.C.The subject station is located approximately 65 km North of Prince George B.C., 1.6 km above confluence with Angusmac Creek, and 11 km upstream from Bear Lake. The station’s coordinates are roughly 54°31'47.0" N and 122°36'44.0" W.ECCC estimates that completion of the project will require seven days on-site. Unless otherwise agreed upon, the project is to be completed over seven days between July 15, 2022, and August 15, 2022.The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).For additional information, interested suppliers should contact Helena Lee at; Helena.Lee@ec.gc.ca.
