LETTER OF INTEREST ADVANCE NOTICE TO INDUSTRY - PRE-TENDER OPTIONAL SITE VISIT
Prior to posting the Request for Proposal (RFP), PWGSC and Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) is conducting an optional potential bidders site visit for qualified firms who are interested in submitting a proposal for the remediation work at the former FOX-D Kivitoo DEW Line Site . It is anticipated that the RFP documents will be available for download on Buy & Sell by approximately October 2015. In order to meet the operational project requirements, advance notice of this opportunity is being advertised for Industry to make the necessary arrangements and preparations for the optional Bidders Site Visit on August 14, 2015, and the Crown to secure the required air services.
PWGSC on behalf of AANDC and has a requirement for the remediation of the former FOX-D Kivitoo DEW Line Site.
a. FOX-D (Kivitoo) was an Intermediate Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line Site constructed in 1957 and operated until October 1963. The site is located on the Davis Strait. The site is located 50 km to the west of the nearest community, Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, at approximately 67° 57' 01" N latitude and 64° 55' 04" W longitude.
b. The Upper Site is located 450 m above sea level. Shortly before the site closed in 1963, a fire completely destroyed the main building train. Charred remains are still present at the site. To the northeast of these remains, two imprints of what were believed to be temporary accommodations are visible. Currently, all that remains at the Upper Site are pieces of a toppled tower, two POL tanks, a small transfer tank sledge, burned remains of the building train, garage and warehouse foundations, two dumpsites and a sewage outfall area.
c. The Lower Site is located on a coastal plain to the south of the upper site. Currently, the foundation of the two POL tanks, the remnants of the airstrip, and one small shed are all that remain. The Upper Site to the Lower Site is connected by a 4 km access road.
d. Access to the site is by fixed wing aircraft, helicopter, and sealift. An assessment of site access was conducted in 2013.
i. The existing airstrip is located at the Lower Site. It was assessed as being in good condition with overall fill thicknesses ranging from 1.2 m to 1.5 m. The airstrip is 950 m long and approximately 48 m wide with an overall grade of approximately 3% towards Davis Strait.
ii. The existing barge area is in good condition and appears to be a suitable area to land a sealift and/or barge. It is connected to the main access road by a 300 m± long road.
iii. An existing 6.5 km access road connects the existing airstrip with the Lower and Upper Sites. The road varies in width from less than 5 m to greater that 6 m and has existing grades of 0% to greater than 15%. The existing condition of the road varies and will require upgrading in order to facilitate remediation works.
e. The site is a remote northern location. As such, hazards may include (but are not limited to) the presence of: Physical hazards of dilapidated structures, Wildlife, Extreme cold and remote site conditions, Hazardous materials including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead paint, batteries, and asbestos, Contaminated soils, Steep slopes and rugged terrain, Scattered debris including nails, metal and broken glass, Inclement weather, and Lack of facilities.
f. Remedial activities will include PHC soil treatment, Excavation and offsite disposal of contaminated soils, excavation and off-site disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and barrel clean-up.
