Contractor Pre-qualification for the Nicomekl River Bridge Replacement at King George Boulevard and Associated Roadworks

REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AND STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS

SCOPE OF SERVICES

BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Nicomekl River Bridge provides a key regional connection and is a critical link for the region and Surrey, as it is one of the main links connecting North Surrey with South Surrey. Given the regional significance of this corridor and bridge crossing, the Nicomekl Bridge Replacement is identified within the Engineering Department’s 10-Year Servicing Plan.

The existing Nicomekl river bridge crossing consists of a timber trestle supporting a single lane in each direction, while a separate “Bailey” bridge provides an additional northbound lane. Both structures are at the end of their service life. Recent inspections completed for the Bailey bridge suggests that the structure requires an immediate replacement.

The replacement bridge will have a span length of approximately 65m and its cross-section consists of two lanes northbound, two lanes southbound with a separated bike lane and sidewalk on both sides. Construction is planned to commence later in 2021.

Other improvements along King George Boulevard from the Park and Ride intersection to Crescent road generally consist of the following:
• Improved neighbourhood access and circulation to Nicomekl Road from King George Boulevard;
• Inclusion of cycling and pedestrian facilities;
• Improved pedestrian connectivity to the Nicomekl Riverfront Park through the inclusion of a pedestrian connection across King George  Boulevard; and
• Improved seismic and coastal flooding resiliency.
These improvements will serve to reduce congestion and delays, along with meeting growing capacity needs and providing multi-modal infrastructure for all road users.
