ADVANCE NOTICE TO INDUSTRY PRE-TENDER OPTIONAL SITE VISIT
Prior to posting the Request for Proposal (RFP), Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) is conducting an Optional Pre-tender Site Visit for Participants who are interested in the upcoming remediation project for Nottingham Island, NU. (former Department of Transport (DOT) Weather Station). It is anticipated the Request For Proposal (RFP) documents will be available on Buyandsell.gc.ca by mid October 2013 (estimated).
The Site is located about 140 km southwest of Cape Dorset, NU at approximately 63.111974 N latitude and 77.938633 W longitude. The nearest community is Ivujivik, Quebec, located approximately 80 km to the south of the Site. The Site is situated on the banks of the Hudson Strait. The Site consists of 17 structures, two empty above ground storage tanks, a number of antennae and a large amount of debris scattered around the site. Off-site features include debris piles, a roadway, a communication tower and nearby lakes/surface water features. The site previously acted as a former DOT weather station and radio transmitter station, originally established in 1884 and was decommissioned in 1970. Nottingham Island was named by the English explorer Henry Hudson (Grant 2011) in the 1600s. The island has been used historically for hunting and fishing by the surrounding Inuit communities.
It is anticipated that the remediation of the DOT weather/radio station will require up to three construction seasons (summers of 2014 / 2015 / 2016) depending how the work is sequenced. A typical construction season for these locations normally starts in June and concludes by late September, which allows approximately 90 days. Potential hazards inherent with a remote northern location are wildlife and arctic weather conditions. Due to the logistical challenges associated with this project, a number of the risks have been identified, primarily those with mobilization and demobilization; remediation and construction activities; work schedules; weather delays; air charter; and replenishment of food and materials have been identified.
PWGSC on behalf of AANDC has scheduled an Optional Pre-tender Site Visit on Monday, August 19, 2013 for remediation activities at Nottingham Island,NU., (former Department of Transport (DOT) Weather Station).
Those who do not attend will not be precluded from submitting a bid when the Request for Proposal (RFP) is issued. However, Participants are strongly encouraged to attend.
It should be noted that Participants who do not attend or send a representative will not be given another opporortunity to travel to the site.
