ATKINSREALIS AWARDED OWNER'S ENGINEER SERVICES CONTRACT FOR BELLEVILLE TERMINAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. has been awarded the contract to deliver owner's engineer (OE) services for the Belleville Terminal redevelopment design-build project in British Columbia by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

"Not only does this project underline Atkinsrealis's innovative approach to excellence, but it also marks another milestone in a long track record of delivering comprehensive solutions for complex infrastructure projects across the world," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer. "We thank the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for the continued trust and confidence placed in our team."

The Belleville Ferry Terminal serves as a crucial link between Vancouver Island and Washington State, facilitating cross-border transportation services and supporting international trade. The redevelopment project will transform the terminal into a state-of-the-art international gateway for passengers and cargo. It will also help stimulate economic growth, while creating a welcoming port of entry for tourists and business travellers in the region, and greatly improve the travelling experience of all ferry passengers.

"We will leverage our multidisciplinary engineering teams and extensive experience in marine terminal projects for the benefits of the community," said Stephanie Vaillancourt, president, Canada, at Atkinsrealis. "We have a long history of successful project delivery with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, having supported various phases of the Belleville Terminal redevelopment project since 2017. We look forward to helping create a more sustainable infrastructure that enhances the travel experience for all ferry passengers and meets the evolving needs of this key transportation hub."

The upgraded terminal will align with the Canada-U.S. land, rail, marine and air transport preclearance agreement (LRMA). The scope of Atkinsrealis's contract includes:

• Co-ordinating with the ministry and the project team to prepare a comprehensive, multidisciplinary statement of requirements;
• Supporting the ministry and the project team during the procurement phase by participating in collaborative meetings with design-build proponents, responding to inquiries and evaluating submissions;
• Supporting the implementation of the design-build agreement throughout the design, construction and commissioning phases.
