Description of the Procurement:

The bridge on C.S. 912-02 over Stuart creek has sustained significant damage due to recent wildfires in the area. A detour adjacent to the existing bridge is required to re-open the road. The detour will also be used as part of a subsequent contract to permanently replace the damaged bridge to accommodate traffic during construction. The expectation is to have construction of the new permanent bridge completed by March 31, 2026. C.S. 912-02 will be closed to traffic until the completion of the detour. It is suggested that contractors assess the site prior to bidding to assess the span length of bridge required to fit the site. Soffit clearances requirements will be provided with the tender documents and will be intended to provide navigation accommodation under the temporary bridge.
