The City is seeking a construction contractor for the West 40 Subdivision project. The tender identifies two work milestones: roads, drainage, ponds and a river-side cut-and-fill lot; and, provisionally, rough grading for the remaining market lots. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

The tender is a concrete next step toward servicing industrial land in Iqaluit. It does not establish the final project cost, contractor, lot recipients or that all provisional work will proceed.

Questions are due Sept. 1 at 4 p.m. EST and bids close Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. EST. The tender’s indicative schedule lists approvals by Sept. 30, a potential award on Oct. 1 and a commence-work date of Oct. 6. The City says a written agreement signed by both parties is required before a contract exists. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ

ᐱᒻᒪᕆᐅᔪᑦ ᖃᐅᔨᒪᔭᐅᒋᐊᓖᑦ

The tender targets substantial completion by Aug. 31, 2027 and final completion by Sept. 1, 2028. The City may reject any bid, cancel or reissue the tender, and says future-year work is conditional on council approval of capital spending for those years. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ
