Project record
Glace Bay small craft harbour wharf reconstruction
IMWO artist's impression of the published Glace Bay small craft harbour wharf reconstruction scope
Zutphen Contractors received CAD 8,896,913.40 contract CW2454987 from Public Services and Procurement Canada on behalf of Fisheries and Oceans Canada for Glace Bay Small Craft Harbour. The package demolishes and reconstructs wharf structures D1 to D11, replacing mainly timber-crib structures with a steel H-pile-supported marginal wharf. CanadaBuys records a 2 June 2026 award and 31 March 2027 expiry. DFO's navigation filing independently identifies the marginal-wharf site at Renwick Brook, but neither source confirms site possession, pile-driving mobilisation, installed quantities or acceptance.

Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Small Craft Harbours, procured through Public Services and Procurement Canada
- Delivery parties
- Zutphen Contractors - prime contractor under CW2454987, Demolition, steel H-pile, structural steel, concrete, plant, survey, environmental and disposal lower tiers - not named in the cited public records
- Contract route
- PSPC ran open competitive solicitation WS5666301439 on DFO's behalf and selected the lowest-price bid. CanadaBuys records a 2 June 2026 award to Zutphen Contractors under contract CW2454987 at CAD 8,896,913.40. Published contract fields do not disclose bid ranking detail, priced quantities, subcontract awards or amendment history beyond the current total.
- Execution window
- CanadaBuys records a nine-month contract period from 2 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. These dates define the commercial window, not site mobilisation, first demolition, first pile, structural completion, harbour reopening or owner acceptance.
- Works package
- The package covers demolition and reconstruction of existing wharf structures D1 through D11. The replacement is described as a steel H-pile-supported marginal wharf replacing structures that are mainly timber cribs. Public records reviewed do not publish pile count or length, driving criteria, deck dimensions, concrete quantities, steel tonnage, fender and bollard scope, demolition quantities, disposal route or temporary-works design.
- Marine interfaces
- The work sits inside a core fishing harbour managed locally by the Harbour Authority of Glace Bay. Delivery must separate demolition, pile driving and wharf framing from fishing-vessel access and navigation at Renwick Brook. Critical open interfaces include construction-zone limits, temporary berthing, debris containment, pile-driving tolerances, weather exposure, survey control and staged return of structures D1-D11.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- CAD 8,896,913.40 is CanadaBuys' current total for CW2454987, not the harbour programme budget or final account. No public value split identifies demolition, piling, structural steel, deck, marine plant, disposal, navigation controls, survey or environmental work. Changes, certified progress, claims, retention and final quantities remain undisclosed.
