ADVANCE NOTICE TO INDUSTRY
PRE TENDER OPTIONAL SITE VISIT FOR POTENTIAL BIDDERS
Public Works & Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) is preparing bid documents and Terms of Reference for the Main Construction Management contract at Giant Mine, located on the Ingraham Trail just outside of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Prior to posting the Request for Proposal (RFP), PWGSC is conducting an optional site visit for potential bidders who are interested in submitting a proposal for the Main Construction Management contract at the Giant Mine Site. The intent of the site visit is to provide potential bidders the opportunity to see the site prior to winter conditions as it is anticipated the requirement will be tendered this winter, 2013-2014. This Letter of Interest request only describes an anticipated solicitation, provision of a Letter of Interest and attendance at the site visit does not constitute a contract between Canada/PWGSC and the interested proponent.
The majority of site work commencing in the fall of 2014, including ongoing care and maintenance to the end of remediation, is expected to be delivered using a construction manager. Phase I of the Main Construction Management contract will include the care and maintenance of the mine, fulfilling the mine manager function (responsible for overall Health & Safety) as defined in the NT Mines Health & Safety Act, and the implementation and management of a site environmental management system. Phase I will also include elements of advisory and support services, project administration, work package development, cost estimating, cost management, time management, and risk identification and management primarily associated with building the schedule and substantive cost estimate for the total remediation project. Additionally, if there is any work remaining from the site stabilization plan or urgent work required to address an identified health or safety concern, this contract would be utilized to complete it.
Under Phase II of this contract, the focus will shift to the completion of the overall remediation activities along with care and maintenance responsibilities. The Construction Manager will provide the following pre-construction, construction and post-construction services: advisory and support services, project administration, work packaging, cost estimating, cost management, time management, risk management, scope control and management, quality control and assurance, general contractor services, tendering services that include subcontracting all work packages using competitive bidding processes, subcontractor coordination, etc. The current understanding for the overall remediation work to be delivered by the Main Construction Manager is a combination of design-build (D/B) and design-bid-build (D/B/B) work packages. Consequently, the Construction Manager will be issuing contracts with engineering components, specific to the work package requirements. The table below summarizes the work packages PWGSC has identified for planning purposes, along with a brief description and the anticipated procurement approach (D/B or D/B/B).
