Province Releases Second Round of Tenders for 2014 Highway Projects

Released on December 23, 2013

Planning for the 2014 construction season continues with the release of the second set of tenders for next year’s highways projects.

The December Tender Plan features 25 km of major highway upgrades, 89.2 km of repaving, three bridge projects and one stockpiling contract worth an estimated $39.8 million.  Tenders for these projects will be advertised over the coming months.

“Signalling our plans to the road building industry early makes good business sense,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Don McMorris said.  “The ministry can line up contractors at more favourable prices and contractors can plan better so they can get an earlier start on the construction season.”

The December Tender Plan follows the Fall Tender Plan that was released in November.  That tender plan contained 42 bridge and culvert projects, 83 km of major highway upgrades and 68 km of repaving, as well stockpiling and other work with a total estimated value of more than $120 million.  The remainder of work for the 2014 construction season will be released with the provincial budget in the spring.  Ministry tender plans are available at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/tender/.

“Timely and early release of projects allows contractors to purchase equipment and ramp up for the work ahead but more importantly, make commitments to their labour force which means more people living and working in Saskatchewan,” Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association President Shantel Lipp said.  “We’re pleased to see the continued investment by our government in the development of core and essential infrastructure.”

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $3.7 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.
