23TDRPAR8138 - Engineering and Testing Analysis Consultant Services - CNC Snow Making System - Study - Phase II

The overall objective of the project is to provide a detailed analysis of the
existing condition of the snowmaking water pipeline system and cathodic
protection system and a recommendation report which will inform Alberta
Parks on the prioritization of maintenance and renewal activities required for
the continued long-term operation of the essential snowmaking system at
Canmore Nordic Centre.

The work to be accomplished under this project includes:
.1 Review background information, as-built drawings, and existing
reports of the snowmaking system. (For the purposes of the Proposal,
assume one (1) site visit during this phase.)
.2 Develop a strategic plan for testing the snowmaking water pipeline
system in selective locations in consultation with Alberta Parks staff.
Refer to Appendix 2 for current proposed testing locations.
.3 Develop a tender package complete with drawings and specifications
for excavation, pipefitting, smart-pigging/testing procedures to enable
the strategic testing plan, including reinstating the snowmaking system
and reinstating the landscape after testing work is completed. (Current
budget estimate for all required construction and testing work is in the
range of $100,000 to $200,000.)
.4 Review construction and testing work on site and ensure that work
conforms with specifications, drawings, and strategic testing plan. (For
the purposes of the Proposal, assume four (4) site visits during this
phase.)
.5 Analyze test results and prepare a recommendation report that details
maintenance and renewal priorities for short-term and long-term
continued functioning of the snowmaking system, complete with Class
‘D’ cost estimates. The report shall address and make
recommendations for maintenance and upgrades on the following:
.1 the water system;
.2 the cathodic protections system;
.3 the system life cycle (determine the current life cycle of the
snowmaking system, and determine the life cycle of the system
after recommended upgrades);
.4 preventative maintenance program (review and make
recommendations for any required changes to the current
preventative maintenance program).
