Consultant Services for the Replacement of Structure 900-188

The Corporation of the County of Grey is seeking a qualified consultant to undertake a comprehensive bridge replacement project for structure 900-188, located 1.59km west of Grey Road 3 on the Normanby-Bentinck Townline. The procurement opportunity requires a consultant to provide a full range of professional engineering services including environmental assessment, detailed design, permit acquisition, utility coordination, tender document preparation, contract administration, and construction inspection. The project's primary objective is to replace a bridge that has exceeded its useful life, with scheduled replacement targeted for 2026. Key deliverables will include a comprehensive environmental assessment report, detailed engineering designs, fully prepared tender documents, and ongoing contract administration throughout the replacement process. The contract opportunity was posted on August 7, 2025, with proposals due by September 5, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline of approximately 30 days. Consultants responding to this opportunity must demonstrate significant expertise in bridge engineering, environmental assessment, and municipal infrastructure project management.

While the solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, respondents will likely need to demonstrate substantial professional credentials and prior experience with municipal infrastructure projects. The scope of work suggests a technically complex project requiring advanced engineering capabilities and comprehensive project management skills. No specific incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are mentioned in the procurement documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive solicitation open to qualified engineering consulting firms with relevant expertise in bridge replacement and municipal infrastructure projects. Though no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the required services suggests a potentially significant contract value commensurate with a complex bridge replacement initiative involving multiple professional service components.
