Ideally located between the city of Calgary and the Rocky Mountains, Cochrane is a community of choice. For the past number of years, we have been one of the fastest growing communities not just in Alberta, but also within Canada. And our future growth looks just as promising.  

With a population just shy of 40,000, Cochrane’s growth brings many exciting opportunities, but it brings challenges too.  

Provide professional audiovisual (AV), meeting technology, and systems integration services to design, supply, install, integrate, test, and commission upgraded technology in the Town’s Council Chambers. The upgrade will support accessible public participation, hybrid Council meetings, and modernized in-room functionality for Council, staff, and the public. 

Cochrane is a charming and fast-growing town nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just a 30-minute drive west of Calgary. It is known for its stunning natural surroundings, small-town feel, and vibrant community, Cochrane blends modern living with western heritage, beautiful mountain views and sits along the scenic Bow River. 

The Cochrane RancheHouse serves as the Town of Cochrane’s administrative municipal building. It also serves as an Events Centre that hosts weddings, corporate events, and other gatherings. The intent of this RFP is to lifecycle and replace the existing two (2) boiler heating plant, with two (2) high efficiency commercial boilers and replace the existing glycol heating primary loop with water and add secondary glycol loops complete with heat exchangers. 

The Town seeks to engage a qualified contractor to perform inspection services on key sections of its water and wastewater mains (the “Pipelines”). Nine pipeline sections totaling approximately 20 kilometers of varying pipe material have been identified as candidates for inspection. The Town will collaborate with the successful Proponent to prioritize the inspection work based on available budget, technological capabilities, and the risks of each asset.

Due to its varied topography and built form, the Town operates a complex water and wastewater network. Significant elevation changes have resulted in twenty (20) pressure zones within the water distribution system and ten (10) collection basins within the wastewater system. The community was developed around the Bow River—an environmentally sensitive area—which increases environmental and regulatory risks associated with underground utilities in the riparian zone.

Much of the underground infrastructure is over 50 years old.  Although record information is generally good, some pipe materials and locations remain unknown.
