The Corporation of the City of St. Thomas (the City) is issuing this Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) to solicit responses from interested and qualified contractors (Respondents) who can undertake the South Edgeware Road Reconstruction project as noted in the RFPQ documents.

The South Edgeware Road Construction project includes the portion of South Edgeware Road from Waterworks Park to Burwell Road. The project is expected to commence in early spring of 2027. The project will consist of reconstruction of roads, sidewalks, multi-use paths, deep sanitary sewers and forcemains, watermains, storm sewers, and other key components that will provide critical servicing to accommodate growing demands on infrastructure throughout the City of St. Thomas. The project is the second phase in a series of projects to upgrade the trunk sanitary sewer conveyance path from the Yarmouth Yards Industrial Park to the new Dalewood Water Reclamation Facility. Strategic coordination with nearby construction projects and adjacent business and community stakeholders will also be required to achieve project success. Strict, non-negotiable deadlines will also need to be achieved.

This RFPQ is the first stage in a two-stage process. It is anticipated that a request for tender will be issued within 180 days after the closing time of this RFPQ. 

The City’s intent is to pre-qualify construction companies, who will ultimately be invited to bid on the South Edgeware Reconstruction project in the Fall of 2026.
