The Burlington Canal Lift Bridge is a tower-drive steel truss vertical
lift bridge. Construction of the bridge commenced in 1958 and it was
in operation by 1962, to serve both roadway and railway traffic needs
crossing the Burlington Canal. The canal and therefore the bridge,
accommodates commercial shipping passage between Lake Ontario to the
east and Burlington Bay to the west. In 1982 the bridge was modified
to remove the railway corridor, and was converted to a four-lane
roadway bridge. The four lane bridge structure consists of a lift span
across the canal along with one tower span and one approach span at
each end of the bridge. The lift span is about 116 m long and 15 m
wide with a vertical lift of 33.5 m to accommodate commercial shipping
passage through the Burlington Canal. A sidewalk is provided on the
west side of the bridge.
The RFSO will be a single submission process. Proposals will be
evaluated for both technical content and price. The proposal rankings
will be based on 90% for technical evaluation and 10% for price.
Standing Offer particulars are described in the RFSO.
