EREP: Offshore Skimmer Package

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) has a requirement for 3 (three) Offshore Skimmer Packages and supporting accessories as described in this bid solicitation. The Canadian Coast Guard is the lead federal agency responsible for ensuring the clean-up of all ship source and mystery source pollution spills into waters under Canadian jurisdiction. To fulfill this legislated mandate, the Canadian Coast Guard requires high capacity skimming capability to recover spilled oil in offshore, unsheltered waters.

This procurement is part of the Environmental Response Equipment (ERE) Program for the Canadian Coast Guard (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 potentially introduce new response technologies to several locations across Canada; this objective will be realized through many unique equipment procurements.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA),the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA)and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) for employment equity applies to this procurement; see Part 5 - Certifications and Additional Information, Part 6 - Resulting Contract Clauses and the annex titled Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Certification.
