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 harbour register identifies Sainte-Marie-Sur-Mer as a core fishing harbour managed locally
- Delivery parties
- L Breau and Sons Ltd - prime contractor under CW2440554, Steel wall, piling, concrete, armour rock, marine plant, survey and environmental lower tiers - not named in the cited public records
- Contract route
- PSPC issued solicitation WS5486006650 as a Canadian construction tender. CanadaBuys records nine tender amendments, a 17 February 2026 award to L Breau and Sons Ltd, active contract CW2440554 and a CAD 8,745,856.95 total. The public open-data record does not publish bid ranking, lower-tier awards or a priced workstream split.
- Execution window
- The tender required completion within 79 weeks of award. CanadaBuys records a contract term from 17 February 2026 to 24 August 2027. Those dates establish the commercial window only; no cited source confirms notice to proceed, first piling, breakwater mobilisation, percentage complete or a handover milestone.
- Works package
- The official title covers reconstruction of structure 401 and a new breakwater. The tender description specifically calls for replacement of the existing timber-crib wharf with a new Berlin-wall wharf structure at Ste.-Marie-sur-Mer in Ste.-Marie-St.-Raphael. Public records do not state wall length, pile type or count, cap and deck quantities, breakwater alignment, armour grading, quarry source or dredging requirement.
- Marine interfaces
- Delivery must coordinate demolition of an existing timber-crib waterfront, steel retaining-wall installation, cap and berth reinstatement and a separately titled breakwater workstream inside a working core fishing harbour. Critical interfaces include temporary berthing, old-crib stability, pile toe conditions, fill retention, marine access, armour supply, environmental controls and safe release of structure 401.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- CanadaBuys reports CAD 8,745,856.95 as the base active contract amount under amendment 000. The tender's CAD 5 million to CAD 20 million estimate is a pre-award category and must not be added to the contract. No public split allocates value between wharf, breakwater, demolition, steel, concrete, rock, marine plant or local services.
