Port Contract Close-out
St. Lawrence's wharf contract date has passed without closeout
CanadaBuys fixes the St. Lawrence package around a CAD 3,016,938.75 award to R.J.G. Construction Limited, demolition of the existing wharf and delivery of a treated-timber crib replacement with reinforced-concrete deck. The stated period ended on 14 April 2026. That date is now a closeout question: Fisheries and Oceans Canada has not published completion, final acceptance, reopening or the final account in the sources reviewed.
Contract expiry moves the project into a closeout test
CanadaBuys controls CW2381330, R.J.G. Construction, the CAD 3.02 million value, contract dates and wharf-replacement description. The Harbour Authority Association page and Canadian Hydrographic Service sailing directions establish St. Lawrence harbour context only. None of the cited owner sources confirms completed construction, accepted quantities, subcontractors, final payment, reopening or defects closeout. The aerial visual is location context rather than progress evidence.
A compact wharf package still has a layered supply chain
Award databases can keep a package visible after its physical state has changed. Here, contractor, value and design boundary are strong, while the outcome is not. Treating contract expiry as completion would erase the information needed by harbour users and suppliers: actual handover date, open deficiencies, approved changes, final value and whether demolition, crib, concrete, electrical and mooring work passed owner acceptance.
Evidence conclusion
Delivery status still lacks closeout evidence
The prime contract combines demolition, treated structural timber, crib ballast, reinforced concrete, ladders, cleats, jib-crane foundations and electrical reinstatement inside an operating fishing harbour. CanadaBuys names none of the lower-tier firms. Harbour imagery and sailing directions establish the working setting but cannot evidence execution. The next defensible status change requires an owner closeout source or contract-history amendment, ideally with as-built and reopening evidence.
Outstanding evidence
- Substantial-completion and final-acceptance certificates
- CanadaBuys amendments and final paid value
- Timber, concrete, electrical and mooring supply chain
- Wharf reopening and fishing-vessel access
- As-built geometry, deficiencies and warranty closeout
