Fire-Resistant Boom Request For Information
The Canadian Coast Guard may be acquiring up to 1000 feet of commercially-available fire-resistant boom and associated equipment (herein after referred to as a Fire Boom System). The Fire Boom System will be used to contain a controlled in-situ burning of spilled oil offshore in unsheltered waters with the presence of ice and/or debris.
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to request that interested companies provide feedback and recommendations regarding the requirement as well as to answer the related questions in Annex A.
The objectives of this RFI are to: a) Provide Industry with general information on the potential scope of work, requirements, and provisions of a potential contract for the Fire Boom System; b) Enable Canada to request information and input from industry regarding the scope of work (please refer to Annex A of this RFI); and c) Enable Canada to progress to potential solicitations for this work.
The complete Request for Information can be downloaded below.
Background Information
Scientists are conducting research and developing new methods and techniques to respond to oil spills in the marine environment. One of these techniques includes the burning of oil on-site, known as in-situ burning (ISB). While ISB has the capability to remove large volumes of oil under ideal conditions, it currently has several limitations. The goal of infield research in this area is to investigate the effectiveness of current and new ISB technologies to remove spilled oil under Canadian conditions and build science-based evidence to support oil spill response operations.
Should field research proposals be approved to proceed in Canadian waters, the Canadian Coast Guard will be responsible to monitor the operations and ensure the safe deployment of all planned mitigation measures (oil spill response equipment to control the containment of the oil and minimize environmental impacts). As such, the Coast Guard requires fire-resistant booms to support these activities and ensure that the field experiments are carried out safely and efficiently, and that appropriate response equipment and techniques are in place.
