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
- Bulldog Contracting Ltd. - prime contractor under F6140-221449/001/PWD, Timber, concrete, dredging, fender, utility, survey, environmental and marine-plant lower tiers - not named in the cited federal records
- Contract route
- PSPC issued F6140-221449/A as an openly advertised, lowest-price construction procurement under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement. CanadaBuys records an award to Bulldog Contracting Ltd. on 1 April 2022 and a CAD 7,045,871.75 value. The award page lists two related contract records but does not publish complete variation or payment histories.
- Execution window
- The archived tender and award pages do not state a reliable contract completion date. The 1 April 2022 award establishes contract formation, while no cited owner update supplies a notice to proceed, substantial-completion date, accepted handover or harbour reopening.
- Works package
- The work demolishes the existing marginal wharf and finger pier, concrete launchway, selected shed foundations, waste-oil slab and associated assets. It installs phased treated-timber cribwork with reinforced-concrete deck, wheelguard, fenders, ladders and mooring cleats; scribes cribs to hard bottom; dredges to -3.0 metres where indicated; and adds asphalt, retaining walls, fencing, water and electrical services.
- Marine interfaces
- The package joins phased demolition in an operating fishing harbour with timber-crib placement on hard bottom, reinforced-concrete deck work, finger-pier reconstruction and local dredging. Delivery depends on temporary berth planning, underwater scribing, timber and stone supply, bathymetry, sediment handling, fender and mooring installation, service isolation and safe return to use.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- CanadaBuys labels CAD 7,045,871.75 as the award amendment value for F6140-221449/001/PWD. No published value split separates demolition, timber, concrete, dredging, utilities or marine plant, and payment progress, subcontractors and a certified final account remain undisclosed. The Crown-supplied material value in the tender is an insurance input, not an additional project award.
