2021-RFP-002 - LAKE GERALDINE DAM SAFETY PROGRAM AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

Every year, a Dam Safety Inspection (DSI) is required on the Lake Geraldine Dam to comply with the Canadian Dam Safety Guidelines. Previous DSI’s have recommended a continuous monitoring program be implemented to monitor the status of the Dam over several visits in a year. Additionally, a Dam Safety Review is required every 5 years by the Canadian Dam Safety Guidelines, and one is required in 2021.
For this project, the City is seeking a consultant to execute a 3-year monitoring program with 4 visits per year by a licensed engineer at regular intervals. As a result of the regular site visits, by October of each year, the consultant will be required to provide a list of recommended repairs that should be performed in the short and long term with supporting justifications and a cost estimates for consideration in the following year’s capital budget. In 2021, the consultant will perform the required Dam Safety Review (DSR). As part of completing a DSR, a Dam Safety Inspection (DSI) is also required. In 2022 and 2023, the consultant will perform the required annual DSI in coordination with their monitoring program visits.
