NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONTRACT
NOI-OP16-72 –Gate Valve Insert Technology Work
Issue Date: December 20, 2016
Closing Date: –January 5, 2017 2:00 pm PST
Notice is hereby given by the City of Maple Ridge (“City”) of its intent to award a contract to Pacific
Flow Control Ltd. of Langley, BC.
The City of Maple Ridge staff have been developing a program to install inline gate valves on the
upstream and downstream side of existing pressure reducing valve stations to insure the safe
shutdown of each station during maintenance and repairs. The end use of the new gate valves is to
provide double block and bleed capabilities. At this stage, the City is intending to hire a contractor to
supply and install the gate valves at four locations without disrupting water supply to existing
subdivisions. It is the City’s intention to have the valves installed and operational by August 31,
2017. Pacific Flow Control Ltd (“Contractor”) will supply and install the gate valves while the
watermain remains pressurized and in full operation.
The City has chosen not to call for proposals and directly award this contact for the follow reasons:
1. The Contractor has expert knowledge in the live tapping of gate valves and gate valve insert
technology required by the City.
2. Contractor provides the ability to install a lateral gate valve and/or inline gate valve, while
maintaining flow in the main. Process provides no shut down of existing services.
3. The Contractor understands the design, installation, safety and water quality constraints
imposed by City staff.
4. The City believes that no other civil contractors are qualified to provide the service required
by the City within the time restraints and budget due to the direct knowledge and experience
of Pacific Flow Control Ltd.
The contract is not to exceed $50,000 and is expected to end by August 31, 2017.
Vendors who wish to object to this decision by offering better value to meet the City’s business and
project requirements should reply with their justification for their claims to Daniela Mikes, Manager
of Procurement before 2 pm, PST, January 5, 2017, presenting in writing, by facsimile transmission
to 604-466-4328 or email dmikes@mapleridge.ca.
Vendors must clearly demonstrate their qualifications and ability to perform the required service or
work within the required time frame, organizational viability and resources. These items will be used
to consider or determine the validity of the objections and whether the service or work will be
competed.
