Bid Opportunity
upgrade from a Primary WWTP system to a secondary treatment system (CPCC Upgrade)

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) is interested in receiving proposal submissions from Project Managers experienced in complex industrial projects.
Proposals are invited from Project Managers with:

  • A minimum of five (5) years’ experience in industrial projects of similar size, scope and complexity;
  • A minimum of three (3) years’ experience in the public sector

The RDKB has been successful in receiving an Infrastructure Canada Grant to proceed with the upgrade from a Primary WWTP system to a secondary treatment system (CPCC Upgrade) based on an approved Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP). The system will include an effluent heat-recovery and reclaimed water system.

The RDKB has identified an initial total budget of $63.0 million including all construction costs, consultant costs, internal and external community meeting costs, additional RDKB consultant costs, taxes, disbursements and reimbursable expenses for the project. Project Management Services during the construction have been budgeted at $200,000.

Currently the project is at the initial design stage and must proceed through value engineering prior to the final funding agreement. After approval to proceed by the funding agencies and Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the procurement stage will proceed. It is anticipated that the project will be delivered under a stipulated sum contract (either MMCD or CCDC - TBD).
