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 CW2455209, Armour rock, quarry, haulage, crane or excavator, barge, survey and environmental lower tiers - not named in the cited public records
Contract route: Solicitation WS5665000094 was issued by PSPC on behalf of DFO as a Canadian construction tender and amended once. CanadaBuys records a 3 June 2026 award to Zutphen Contractors, active contract CW2455209 and a CAD 2,752,396.62 total. Bid ranking, priced quantities and subcontract awards are absent from the published fields.
Execution window: The tender requires completion within 25 weeks, and CanadaBuys records the contract from 3 June to 27 November 2026. The award date may also be the administrative start date, but no cited owner notice confirms site possession, mobilisation, quarry production, first rock placement or breakwater completion.

Works package: The work comprises general construction of a rubble-mound breakwater at Larrys River Small Craft Harbour and delineation of the construction zone from the rest of the facility. Public records do not state breakwater length, crest elevation or width, core and filter gradations, armour size, toe detail, quarry source, access method or temporary navigation controls.
Marine interfaces: Breakwater reconstruction must separate heavy rock delivery and placement from an operating core fishing harbour. Critical interfaces include construction-zone marking, vessel access, old-section stability, toe preparation, rock quality and gradation, land-versus-barge placement, survey control, weather downtime and reopening of the protected entrance.
Commercial evidence boundary: CanadaBuys reports CAD 2,752,396.62 as the base active contract amount under amendment 000. No value split separates quarry production, haulage, marine plant, placement, survey, environmental controls or harbour operations. Final quantities, changes, payment status, claims and a certified final account remain undisclosed.
