This tender is intended to:
1. Establish a binding contract with the low bidder to undertake flood response activities for a SPRING flood event for the communities identified in this contract.

The Work in this Non-Bonded Tender No.: RF-97-064 is generally described below:
The work in this Tender is part of the Province’s flood fighting efforts and mainly consists of the construction and removal of clay closures at the openings of the permanent flood protection dikes surrounding Emerson, MB should they be required.
Manitoba Infrastructure will make every effort to maximize the time period during which important commerce routes on highways remain open, while not compromising the safe and effective closure of such ring dikes.
The Contractor shall provide specified equipment able to complete the following work activities as required, as directed by the Engineer, including but not limited to:
• Prepare, excavate, load, haul and place borrow material
• Dike repair, maintenance and emergent work
• Removal of placed borrow material and site clean up/remediation
• Traffic Management
Due to the nature of flood events, the exact scale, timing and extent of the work is largely unknown. There is no guarantee of quantities. Should dike closures not be required, equipment will not be mobilized and no payment will be made.
