EN24TBH007 - Woodfibre Road and Bridge Construction, Squamish

The works under the contract will involve 4.0 kilometers of road reconstruction and 3.3 kilometers of new road construction, a ford crossing and one bridge installation at Woodfibre creek. 

The bridge will be delivered to the Squamish yard August 16th, 2023, or the contractor can make arrangements with the fabricator to skip delivery to the yard and truck it to the site.

Barge access must be done using the new log dump. The contractor will be responsible for preparing the road and landing site as well as the ramp for intermittent barge access. The log crib transfer deck, steel skids, or any of the booming grounds will not be constructed under this contract and will be done by others.  There may be an option of using the Woodfibre LNG barge ramp, but must be done so before August 31st, 2023, and will require an agreement between the contractor and Woodfibre LNG.
