Description of the Procurement:

The roadway on Highway No. 4 has developed sinkholes at two locations on the surface south of Rosetown, Saskatchewan. The locations of these culverts are C.S. 4-08 at km 14.21 and 16.92, approximately 23.6 and 20.9 km south of Rosetown, respectively. The existing 600 mm x 28 m long culvert on C.S. at km 14.24 and the existing 750 mm x 22 m long culvert on C.S 4-08 at km 16.92 will need to be replaced.
