Public Services and Procurement Canada awarded Bulldog Contracting Ltd. CAD 7,045,871.75 for Harbour Grace demolition, treated-timber crib reconstruction, a reinforced-concrete deck and finger pier, local dredging to -3.0 metres, retaining works and water and electrical reinstatement. The official pages confirm the 1 April 2022 award but do not establish a reliable delivery end date or accepted completion.

Canada awarded Bulldog Contracting CAD 7.05 million in April 2022

The CanadaBuys tender provides the physical work list and procurement method; its award notice names the prime contractor, contract number, award date and CAD 7,045,871.75 value. The archived attachments are tender-stage records and do not establish construction progress. No cited owner record reports the delivery end, accepted dredging, structural inspection, utility commissioning, subcontracting, final payment or return to service. The accompanying illustration is not a site-progress record.

Basin depth, structural work and utilities require separate acceptance records

The cribs are specified to be scribed to hard bottom, basin depth depends on a post-dredge survey, the reinforced-concrete deck and marine fittings require inspection, and the water and electrical services require commissioning before unrestricted use. The cited federal records do not publish those acceptance results.

Evidence conclusion

No dated owner handover or completion certificate is published

CanadaBuys reports the CAD 7,045,871.75 award value. Its archived requirement files define the tender scope but do not report construction progress. No cited owner record publishes a dated delivery end, measured dredging, crib and deck acceptance, utility commissioning, lower-tier awards, final payment, completion certificate or harbour reopening.

  • Accepted -3.0 metre dredge geometry and quantities
