EREP: Portable Oil Recovery Vacuum System

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is the lead federal agency responsible for ensuring the cleanup of all ship-source and mystery-source pollution spills into waters under Canadian jurisdiction. In fulfillment of this legislated mandate, the CCG requires portable Vacuum Systems capable of suctioning light to heavy fuel oils and small solids.

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 over 80 locations across Canada; this objective will be realized through approximately 50 to 100 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 Canada-UK Trade Continuity Agreement (Canada-UK TCA), the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) and procedural requirements of the other international trade agreements such as Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will be fulfilled following compliance to the procedural requirements of the WTO-AGP.

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.
