Contract Close-out
Pugwash's floating-dock award closes price, not harbour acceptance
IMWO artist's impression accompanying this evidence brief, depicting Pugwash
CanadaBuys confirms that Fisheries and Oceans Canada awarded Brian MacGillivary Construction CAD 516,100 for an integrated Pugwash package spanning harbour-bottom dredging, containment in an existing berm, floating docks, strongarms, gangways, a concrete retaining wall and berm reinstatement. The amended four-month term ended on 29 March 2024, while accepted quantities, commissioning and a completion certificate remain unpublished.
The four-month term expired with the physical ledger still open
CanadaBuys controls the contractor, CAD 516,100 total, award date and amended four-month term. The tender, specification and drawing files control the intended package boundaries. They are procurement documents, not as-built or completion evidence. No cited source supplies measured dredging, an installed dock schedule, structural acceptance, named subcontractors, a final account or operating handover. The illustration is editorial scope context only.
Six close-out records still control the delivery call
The contract combines several interfaces that close on different evidence: hydrographic surveys for dredging, containment records for sediment, inventory and anchoring checks for floating access, structural inspection for the wall, and an owner release for harbour use. A dated contract end establishes the commercial window but cannot substitute for any of those acceptance records.
