EREP: Self-Propelled Advancing Skimmer (SPAS)

On behalf of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) is procuring Self-Propelled Advancing Skimmers to be manufactured based on the CCG’s requirements, following the related Request for Information (RFI) that closed March of 2017. The Self-Propelled Advancing Skimmers (SPAS) represents a vital part of CCG’s new Environmental Response capability. Presently, CCG is completely reliant on small portable skimmers for on-water oil skimming, which require external pumps and storage tanks as well as a vessel to transport the complete system. A SPAS is an autonomous piece of equipment, operated by only a few personnel, which can rapidly advance and recover spilled oil from the water using a built-in oil recovery and storage capability without relying on the use of any additional equipment. This system will greatly increase the response time for spills, stemming the dispersal of the slick and resulting in greater amounts of oil recovered.

This procurement is part of the Environmental Response Equipment (ERE) Program for the CCG, and forms part of the Oceans Protection Plan announced in November 2016. Under the ERE Program, CCG is renewing its suite of environmental response (ER) equipment, ensuring a robust and strategic national response capability. The ERE Program will replace aging ER equipment and introduce some new technologies to over 80 locations across the country through approximately 50-100 unique procurements for different types of equipment.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).

This procurement is subject to the Tsawwassen First Nation Final Agreement and may be Huron-Wendat Nation, Mohawks of Quebec, Regroupement Petapan Land Claim Agreements.

The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) for employment equity applies to this procurement; refer to Part 5 - Certifications and Additional Information, Part 7 - Resulting Contract Clauses and the annex titled Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Certification.
