Project record
Grande-Anse harbour-basin dredging and containment-cell works
Les Entreprises P E C inc received CAD 862,270 contract CW2452382 from Public Services and Procurement Canada for basin dredging at Grande-Anse Wharf, New Brunswick. The package specifies a barge-mounted excavator and scow method plus reconfiguration of a containment cell. Work could start no earlier than 6 July 2026; a bird survey was required 48 hours before site activity, and a species-at-risk finding could defer construction to mid-September. DFO's register classifies Grande-Anse as a non-core fishing harbour managed by Le Comite d'Autorite Portuaire de Grande-Anse Inc. Dredged quantity, sediment route, plant identity, mobilisation and acceptance remain unpublished.

Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is listed as contracting and end-user entity; DFO's separate register identifies Grande-Anse as a non-core fishing harbour managed locally
- Delivery parties
- Les Entreprises P E C inc - prime contractor under CW2452382, Barge, scow, towing, survey, sediment-testing and containment lower tiers - not named in the cited public records
- Contract route
- PSPC issued WS5618091638 as a Canadian construction tender and amended the notice once. CanadaBuys records a 12 May 2026 award to Les Entreprises P E C inc, active contract CW2452382 and a CAD 862,270 total. The public record names the dredging method but no vessel, subcontractor or priced quantity schedule.
- Execution window
- CanadaBuys records the contract from 12 May to 31 December 2026. The tender prohibited work before 6 July and required a bird survey 48 hours before on-site activity. If the survey identified a species at risk in the project area, activity could be deferred to mid-September. No cited field record establishes which path occurred.
- Works package
- The contract covers harbour-basin dredging by barge-mounted excavator and scow and reconfiguration of a containment cell at Grande-Anse Wharf. Public records do not publish design depth, horizontal dredge limits, estimated or measured volume, sediment classification, scow capacity, haul route, placement sequence, cell capacity or return-water controls.
- Marine interfaces
- The work links excavator and scow productivity to constrained small-harbour access, bathymetric control and an onshore containment cell. The environmental timing gate makes pre-start survey evidence decision-critical, while acceptance depends on post-dredge geometry, sediment records, cell stability and removal of temporary marine controls.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- CanadaBuys reports CAD 862,270 as the base contract amount under amendment 000. The tender's CAD 500,001 to CAD 1 million estimate is a pre-award category, not additional value. No public allocation separates dredging, scow transport, towing, survey, sediment management, containment works or environmental monitoring.
