Three active 2026 CanadaBuys awards place CAD 12,360,523.57 of Atlantic harbour work under named primes: L Breau and Sons at Sainte-Marie-Sur-Mer, Les Entreprises P E C at Grande-Anse and Zutphen Contractors at Larrys River. The packages are not interchangeable. One joins a Berlin-wall wharf to a title-level new breakwater, one specifies barge-excavator and scow dredging with a containment cell, and one reconstructs a rubble-mound breakwater inside a core fishing harbour.

CAD 12.36 million now spans three distinct 2026 delivery systems

CanadaBuys open data controls all three solicitation and contract identities, primes, values, dates, active statuses and descriptions. The CAD 12.36 million figure is the exact sum of the three reported base contract totals, not a programme budget. DFO's directory controls harbour classifications and managers. No cited source names lower tiers, proves mobilisation or closes physical and commercial acceptance.

Award transparency stops before the specialist workstreams

The awards expose three different lower-tier markets and acceptance chains. Sainte-Marie-Sur-Mer needs steel-wall, concrete and breakwater evidence; Grande-Anse needs bathymetry, marine plant, sediment and containment records; Larrys River needs quarry, rock grading, placement and as-built breakwater evidence. Named prime contracts leave those specialist suppliers and field milestones unresolved.

Evidence conclusion

Three separate evidence ledgers prevent false comparability

All three records qualify as confirmed awards and delivery-unverified projects. CanadaBuys closes prime, amount, contract dates and stated scope. DFO's harbour directory closes harbour identity, type, local manager and coordinates, but PSPC remains the listed end-user for the two New Brunswick records. Promote mobilisation, progress or completion only from dated site, survey, quantity, payment and owner-acceptance evidence.

Outstanding evidence

  • Named steel, concrete, rock, barge, scow, survey and environmental lower tiers
  • Sainte-Marie-Sur-Mer Berlin-wall and breakwater dimensions
  • Grande-Anse pre-start bird survey and actual mobilisation
  • Grande-Anse dredged quantity, sediment route and containment close-out
  • Larrys River quarry, armour grading and placement method
  • Contract amendments, certified progress and final accounts
  • As-built surveys and structural or bathymetric acceptance
  • Dated owner handover and harbour return to use
