L Breau and Sons Ltd holds CAD 8,745,856.95 contract CW2440554 for Sainte-Marie-Sur-Mer structure 401 through 24 August 2027. CanadaBuys describes a 79-week replacement of the timber-crib wharf with a Berlin-wall structure, while the procurement title also includes a new breakwater whose dimensions and quantities remain unpublished.

The award fixes prime value and duration

CanadaBuys establishes solicitation WS5486006650, contract CW2440554, L Breau and Sons Ltd, the exact award amount, dates and published scope. DFO's harbour directory establishes the core-harbour classification and local manager. Neither source supplies breakwater geometry, named lower tiers, physical progress, measured quantities or owner acceptance.

Wharf detail exceeds the breakwater disclosure

Structure 401 combines two marine workstreams with different supply chains. Steel piling, cap concrete and demolition govern the wharf, while quarry source, gradation, haulage and placement govern the breakwater. A single contract value gives no priced split between them and names no lower tiers.

Evidence conclusion

Mobilisation and quantities are the next facts

CanadaBuys establishes the prime, exact contract amount, 17 February 2026 award and 24 August 2027 end date. The tender description establishes the Berlin-wall replacement, and the title establishes a new breakwater. Mobilisation, wall geometry, pile schedule, armour quantities, lower-tier appointments and accepted work remain open until dated project-specific records appear.

Outstanding evidence

  • Notice to proceed and first site mobilisation
  • Berlin-wall length, pile type and toe conditions
  • Concrete cap, deck and demolition quantities
  • Breakwater alignment, design section and armour grading
  • Named steel, concrete, quarry, survey and marine-plant lower tiers
