Enbridge’s Line 10
Local business opportunitiesProject construction will benefit Southern Ontario communities
The proposed Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project will provide a broad range of participation opportunities for qualified southern Ontario goods and services providers, including local Aboriginal businesses. Many other area businesses, such as hotels, grocery stores and restaurants, will also benefit from the presence of work crews during project construction.
How can my business get involved in exploring potential opportunities on the Westover Segment Replacement Project?
As a first step, we ask that you download and complete our Supplier Information Form and send it along with copies of your business development/promotional material to: [email protected]
We encourage you to keep business development and promotional material brief and to the point, but sufficiently detailed to allow an informed overview of your service or product.
What happens after I make my submission to Enbridge procurement? How will I know if you’re interested?
An Enbridge procurement representative will contact you if your materials and/or services are a match to our current needs. Skilled suppliers are important to our success and we thank everyone for their interest.
What qualifications will I need to work on this project for Enbridge?

Aboriginal participation
Enbridge is committed to providing economic opportunities, such as procurement of goods and services, contract provision training, job training and employment, to qualified Aboriginal businesses during development of the Line 10 Westover Segment Replacement Project. Our goal is to maximize local Aboriginal participation in our growth projects and in meeting our ongoing operational needs.
We do this by:
• Identifying business and employment capacity within local Aboriginal communities early in a project;
• Assisting Aboriginal businesses entering and completing our pre-qualification process and vendor certification systems;
• Creating awareness among our general contractors, of Aboriginal businesses with the capacity to provide ancillary services; and,
• Encouraging collaborative opportunities between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal businesses, to build capacity and support mutual interests.

Project timing
Before proceeding with construction, the project requires approval from the National Energy Board (NEB) and Enbridge’s Board of Directors. Our project team is preparing to file a regulatory application in November 2015. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 2017 with the pipeline coming into service in the first quarter of 2018.
What we’ll be looking for…
The majority of business opportunities on this project will come from our primary construction contractor. This firm will not be selected until 2017 and Enbridge will encourage them to use local contractors, provided they are able to meet our standards of quality, service and cost-competitiveness.
Potential subcontracting opportunities may include:
• fuel services• yard setup• office supplies• catering• coffee and
water delivery• portable toilet facilities• janitorial and
laundry services• water and
hydrovac trucks• crane services
• farm equipment• straw bales,
seed and tackifier• mulching, gravel,
sand and lumber• waste containers
and disposal• medics and
EMT support• fencing and posts• line sweeping and
snow removal
Enbridge direct…
During the planning stages, Enbridge will directly source certain services including: environmental surveying; geotechnical studies; tree planting; stockpile site preparation; security fencing; and stockpile pipe.
In July 2015, J.D. Barnes Limited, one of the largest survey companies in Ontario, was awarded the preliminary survey contract for the project. They have subcontracted line locating work to Telecon Inc., another Ontario-based firm.
Area businesses, such as hotels, grocery stores and restaurants, will benefit from the presence of work crews during project construction.
This project will provide opportunities for qualified local goods and services providers, including Aboriginal businesses.
