AI overview
EPCOR is seeking a qualified contractor to install an aerial counterpoise on the 1191L 240 kV single-circuit transmission line in Edmonton, Alberta. The work must be performed either while the line is energized or unenergized, as the line is scheduled to be energized on December 1, 2026. Proposals must include pricing for both scenarios. Key tasks include installing link-type pole collars for suspension and dead-end assemblies, stringing single-bundle aerial counterpoise conductor, and grounding the counterpoise to steel monopoles at each structure. The contractor must also ensure all conductive structures are properly bonded to the owner's grounding system and carry out site remediation such as backfilling, fire quenching stone installation, and restoration of disturbed areas.
The contractor is required to comply with all applicable federal, provincial (Alberta), and municipal environmental laws, regulations, and policies, and must secure all required construction permits. Coordination with EPCOR and relevant authorities for inspections and approvals is also required. Proponents must execute a Confidentiality Agreement before EPCOR releases the detailed scope documents in Appendix 1. The RFP is issued by EPCOR Distribution & Transmission Inc. (EDTI) and carries solicitation number 203624.
