Major infrastructure improvements at Martensville and Warman are one step closer as the government releases a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the proposed design-build project.
“The two overpasses will improve safety and alleviate congestion in the growing communities of Martensville and Warman,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “We’ve undertaken public consultations and finalized a functional plan. With the RFQ released, we are one step closer to building.”
The functional plan includes an overpass on Highway 12 at Martensville’s Main Streetand an overpass on Highway 11 connecting to Highway 305 near Warman.
The functional design and visual 3D flyover can be viewed at www.highways.gov.sk.ca/Hwy11_12overpasses.
During the RFQ, the ministry will shortlist three proponents who will then proceed to the Request for Proposal (RFP) stage currently planned for late 2015. The ministry will review each proposal to ensure they are compliant and then reward the contract to the preferred proponent.
The RFQ is be available on SaskTenders at https://sasktenders.ca.
The ministry will schedule open houses in late October to provide interested residents an opportunity to view project designs.
The Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.
