Bidders' attention is drawn to the following articles herein (SI01 Introduction, para. 3; SI19 Contract Counterparty) which identify the nature of the specific changes as relates to this procurement.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a requirement for the construction of a new Long Term Waste Management Facility (LTWMF) and the remediation of the existing Port Granby Low Level Radioactive Waste Management Facility in the Municipality of Clarington, Ontario.

This is a two envelope, single phase selection process.

The Contractor shall perform and complete the Work within 286 weeks from the date of notification of acceptance of the bid.

The Port Granby Project involves the cleanup of buried historic low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) and industrial waste located at Port Granby Waste Management Facility (PGWMF) and the eventual safe containment of those materials within a new engineered, aboveground long-term waste management facility (LTWMF) to be constructed as per the upcoming contract. The containment system is to be built at a distance of approximately 700 m north of the existing waste burial area, all on federal lands but separated by Lakeshore Road. There is approximately 500,000 metric tons of waste that will need to be excavated, handled, transported and appropriately placed in the new LTWMF.

On February 27, 2013, Canada held an information session on the Port Granby Project and further information can be found here: https://buyandsell.gc.ca/procurement-data/tender-notice/PW-PWL-01 2- 1812.
