Purpose
The City of St. Albert is requesting proposals from qualified, licensed and professional
consulting firms to provide engineering services for the design and construction
management (provisional) of The City of St Albert’s Active Transportation Plan. The
2021 Active Transportation Plan is broken includes 5 sites:
a. Sir Winston Churchill Avenue from Woodlands Road to Poirier Avenue
b. Herbert Road from Cunningham Road to Amber Crescent
c. Corriveau Avenue from Campbell Road to Vennes Road
d. Carnegie Drive from Corriveau Avenue to Boudreau Road
e. Balmoral Drive at west end of cul-de-sac
f. Riel Drive from beginning of east curve to Levasseur Road.
These sites are to be designed within 2021 with construction occurring in 2022. The
cost for construction management will be a provisional item and dependent on funding.
Below are descriptions of work required at each site with over all mapping show in
Schedule C of this proposal.
Sir Winston Churchill Avenue from Woodlands Road to Poirier Avenue
• Design and installation of sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps,
from the north side of Sir Winston Churchill Avenue from Woodlands Road to
Poirier Avenue (east-side) intersections.
• Drainage and storm water management must be considered.
• Sidewalk shall be separate walk as much as possible with consideration of
existing vegetation and infrastructure within the boulevard area.
• Tree protection is extremely important.
• Sidewalk shall be concrete and 1.8m in width. Length is approximately 447
meters
Herbert Road from Cunningham Road to Amber Crescent
• Design and installation of sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps,
on the northside of Herbert Road between Cunningham Road and Amber
Crescent.
• Sidewalk to be separate concrete walkway with a width of 1.8m and approximant
length of 1288 meters.
• Design must consider the existing vegetation and infrastructure within the
boulevard space.
• Connection to Forest park must be included.
• Tree protection is important.Corriveau Avenue from Campbell Road to Vennes Road
• Design and installation of sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps,
on both sides of Corriveau Avenue between Campbell and Vennes Road.
• Sidewalk to be separate concrete walkway with a width of 1.8m and approximant
length of 1949 meters.
• Design must consider the existing vegetation and infrastructure within the
boulevard space.
• Crossing of commercial aprons and railway must be included and follow
Canadian National Railway (CN) and City of St. Albert Engineering standards
and guild lines.
• Tree protection is important.
Carnegie Drive from Corriveau Avenue to Boudreau Road
• Design and installation of sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps,
on the west side of Carnegie Drive between Corriveau Avenue and Boudreau
Road.
• Sidewalk to be separate concrete walkway with a width of 1.8m and approximant
length of 974 meters.
• Design must consider the existing vegetation and infrastructure within the
boulevard space.
• Crossing of commercial aprons and must be included and follow City of St. Albert
Engineering standards and guild lines.
• Tree protection is important.
Balmoral Drive at west end of cul-de-sac
• Design and installation of sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps,
on the south side of Balmoral Drive.
• Sidewalk to be separate concrete walkway with a width of 1.8m and approximant
length of 136 meters.
• Design must consider the existing vegetation and infrastructure within the
boulevard space.
• Tree protection is important.
• A connection to the playground space is required.
Riel Drive Feasibility Study for sidewalk placement (provisional)
• Review Riel Drive existing infrastructure (surface and underground), site
conditions and constraints to provide a conceptual scenario for placement of
sidewalk within the road right of way, with concepts of tie-ins or connections to
the river trail system, transit stops or other mobility links.
• Provide a report/study (draft and final report) with alternative concepts indicating
pros and cons for road users, sidewalk users, connectivity and benefit to
businessowners in the• Share the draft report and study with city stakeholders (Public Works, Utilities,
Parks and Rec, Transit, etc) and receive, document and respond to stakeholder
feedback prior to finalizing the report.
• Perform preliminary and detailed design, with provision of construction cost
estimates, of the preferred conceptual sidewalk alignment, inclusive of design to
install sidewalk, and associated curbs and pedestrian ramps, transit stop pads
and links to the broader network. Note – sidewalk design should attempt to align
to Complete Streets Guidelines, however, may be influenced by identified site
constraints. Optimally, the sidewalk would be separate concrete walkway with a
width of 1.8m and approximant length of 2.5 kilometers.
• Design must consider accessibility, existing road right of way constraints,
commercial accesses, existing infrastructure, grades and should attempt to
protect existing landscaping (inclusive of tree protection).
• Construction tender package development support – subject to portions of work
relevant to approved funding and informed by cost estimates for construction.
NOTE: Work on design must incorporate communication with CN due to
the crossing of the at-grade rail crossing.
NOTE: These designs will need to navigate existing power poles, third
party pedestals, fire hydrant, railway fencing and private commercial
landscaping. area, with consideration of conceptual costs.
