Sea to Sky Highway Improvement Project
Introduction
This report examines, from a construction management point of view, the Sea to Sky Highway Improvements Project. The project was initiated in 2004 and completed in 2009. The impetus for the project was the awarding of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games being awarded to Vancouver/Whistler British Columbia in 2003.
The report includes; 1. Background information describing the age of the existing highway, some of the engineering difficulties associated with the proposed improvements, and the anticipated benefits of the improvement project. 2. The selection process describes the method used to select the preferred proponent. Information is provided on the five stages of selection, starting with the Registration of Interest and culminating in the Contract Award. 3. A closer look at the Request for Proposal (RFP) portion of the selection process follows. The three criteria applied to the RFP process and how the criteria were scored is discussed. 4. The Final Contract is examined and describes the roles and expectations of the parties involved. This section gives specific information on the terms of the contract, incentives and penalties, defines roles and obligations. 5. The environmental portion discusses enhancements that were enabled by
