Surrey council to vote Monday on nearly $22M in infrastructure projects, including road upgrades, waterpark renewal, and energy system expansions.
Surrey Poised to Greenlight $22M in Public Works
On Monday, Surrey city council will decide the fate of a massive public works package worth nearly $22 million. From expanding energy systems to refreshing community spaces, the proposed contracts are designed to support the city’s rapid growth and prepare for future demands.
Expanding Surrey’s District Energy System
First on the agenda: a contract worth $738,597 for Kerr Wood Leidal Associates. If approved, they’ll take on the design and construction planning for 1,700 metres of new energy distribution piping. The project, valued at $11 million, will also relocate a temporary energy centre to strengthen Surrey’s downtown energy network.
Work is expected to begin this month, with design wrapping up by February. Construction would then follow in summer 2026, finishing by the end of 2027.
Boiler Upgrade for West Village Energy Centre
Council will also review a $3.3 million contract for All-Pro Services. The project involves installing a high-capacity boiler at the West Village Energy Centre on Central Avenue.
The facility, built in 2018, already powers 41 buildings, with five more on the way by 2027. Two boilers have already been upgraded, but a third is now required to meet peak winter demands expected by 2026.
Major Road Improvements on 96 Avenue
Drivers in Surrey may soon see smoother commutes along 96 Avenue from 116 Street to Scott Road. Council will vote on a $7.2 million contract for Arsalan Construction Ltd. to deliver road improvements.
In addition, Aplin Martin Consultants Ltd. could secure a $184,186 contract to provide engineering support for the project.
Bear Creek Park Waterpark Set for Renewal
One of Surrey’s most beloved attractions, the Bear Creek Park waterpark, is due for a complete overhaul. Built in 1985 and last renovated in 2006, the facility has reached the end of its life cycle.
To bring it back to life, Van der Pauw Landscaping Ltd. is being considered for a $927,695 contract. If approved, the new waterpark would be ready for families to enjoy by fall 2025.
Cloverdale Gets Turf and Parking Upgrades
Sports enthusiasts in Cloverdale could see major upgrades at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Two contracts are up for approval:
WhiteStar Property Services Ltd. for $7.4 million to build two synthetic turf fields and a new parking lot.
Tarkett Sports Canada Inc. for $1.6 million to supply and install the artificial turf.
Together, these projects aim to expand recreation opportunities for the growing community.
Developer Reimbursement in West Clayton
Finally, city staff recommend reimbursing Zenterra 180 Street Ltd. $523,228 for sanitary sewer upgrades in the West Clayton neighbourhood. The developer is building more than 700 apartment units and has been asked to install larger sewer infrastructure to serve both the project and the future Hillcrest SkyTrain Station area.
What’s Next
If all proposals pass, Surrey will commit to nearly $22 million in infrastructure spending. From stronger energy networks to refreshed parks and modern roads, these investments signal a city preparing not just for today—but for decades ahead.
