Zutphen Contractors holds CAD 2,752,396.62 contract CW2455209 for rubble-mound breakwater construction at Larrys River Small Craft Harbour through 27 November 2026. The 25-week requirement includes delineating the construction zone from the operating facility, but published records give no breakwater dimensions, rock quantities, quarry source or first-placement date.

The award assigns one breakwater prime

CanadaBuys establishes solicitation WS5665000094, contract CW2455209, Zutphen Contractors, the exact award amount, dates, rubble-mound scope and construction-zone requirement. DFO's directory establishes the core-harbour classification and local manager. Neither source identifies the quarry, rock schedule, lower tiers, mobilisation, placed quantities, as-built survey or owner acceptance.

Operating access constrains the rock sequence

Larrys River requires heavy rock delivery and placement beside a working core fishing harbour. Quarry approval, gradation testing, haul route, toe preparation, survey control and harbour-access separation can each change production. The contract identifies the prime without exposing which firms, plant or material sources carry those workstreams.

Evidence conclusion

First rock and survey define delivery

CanadaBuys fixes PSPC's on-behalf-of-DFO role, the prime, amount, 3 June award, 27 November end and rubble-mound scope. DFO fixes the core-harbour classification and local manager. Contract status alone cannot establish site possession, quarry production, first armour rock, as-built geometry, owner inspection or return of the entrance to unrestricted use.
