Les Entreprises P E C inc holds CAD 862,270 contract CW2452382 for Grande-Anse harbour-basin dredging through 31 December 2026. The specified method uses a barge-mounted excavator and scow with containment-cell reconfiguration. Site work could begin from 6 July only after a bird survey, with a species-at-risk finding able to defer activity to mid-September.

The environmental survey governs the field start

CanadaBuys establishes solicitation WS5618091638, contract CW2452382, Les Entreprises P E C inc, the exact award amount, dates, dredging method, containment work and environmental timing. DFO's directory establishes the non-core harbour classification and local manager. The cited records contain no survey result, start notice, named plant, dredged volume or acceptance document.

Method disclosure stops before plant identity

Grande-Anse links dredging production to a pre-start ecological decision. The survey result determines whether the contractor can use the July window or must wait until mid-September. Plant availability, measured volume, sediment handling and containment capacity therefore depend on an unpublished field record rather than the administrative contract start.

Evidence conclusion

Survey result and mobilisation control status

CanadaBuys fixes the prime, value, contract term, excavator-and-scow method, containment-cell work and environmental timing clause. The 6 July date establishes eligibility to start, not actual mobilisation. Bird-survey findings, vessel assignments, dredge prism, sediment classification, measured production, post-dredge bathymetry and containment close-out remain unconfirmed.

Outstanding evidence

  • Bird-survey result and actual mobilisation date
  • Any species-at-risk deferral to mid-September
  • Named excavator barge, scow, tug and survey provider
  • Dredge prism, target depth and measured quantity
  • Sediment testing, containment capacity and return-water controls
  • Post-dredge survey, final account and owner acceptance
