RFP# EC-64-2026-06 HWY55 Boardwalk Walking Trail Project

Lac La Biche County invites qualified Design-Build teams to submit proposals for the design, validation, permitting support, pricing, and construction of the Highway 55 Boardwalk / Walking Trail Project in Lac La Biche, Alberta. The core project is intended to deliver a practical, durable, accessible boardwalk and walking trail connection between the BCMI / Boston Pizza / Industrial Park side of the Highway 55 corridor and the hamlet / Parkland Motel area, while respecting wetland conditions, land ownership, highway safety requirements, drainage, utilities, and environmental approvals. The County is seeking a strong base solution for the boardwalk and walking trail itself. Additional civic landmark features, including entry and exit archways, highway-facing signage, birdwatching and viewing decks, shelters, enhanced lighting, landscaping, and interpretive elements, are to be priced separately as additive and/or deductive options. The County may choose to proceed with the base project only, the base project plus selected options, a phased approach, or no construction, subject to Council approval, available budget, permitting, and final contract negotiations.
