Notice Description

	New Westminister Rail Bridge Study Trade Agreement: WTO-AGP/NAFTA/AIT Tendering Procedures: Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: New Westminister Rail Bridge Study T7000-090001/A Armstrong, Wendy Telephone No. - (604) 775-7691 Fax No. - (604) 775-7526 The New Westminster Rail Bridge Study area is illustrated in Figure 1. It will focus on the bridge and its key approaches (i.e. the yellow box), but will include the Fraser River Trade Area (which includes and extends beyond the area of the map) as its area of influence. The study will be undertaken within the broader context of future rail network planning for the Fraser River Trade Area, with appropriate consideration given to the impacts of the supporting rail network and approaches to the New Westminster Rail Bridge. Any ongoing or planned projects within the Fraser River Trade Area that will result in significant impacts to the rail bridge and its key approaches will also be identified and considered. 3.2 Study Focus and Objectives The New Westminster Rail Bridge Study will focus on three key areas: " Future Demand and Capacity Review: The New Westminster Rail Bridge Study will examine the future rail demand of CN, CP, other railways and Port Metro Vancouver to determine if the current New Westminster Rail Bridge will be able to handle the projected volumes. The Study will consider scenarios with and without the co-production agreement between CN and CP. The Study will also review the forecasted marine traffic demand passing through the bridge. The majority of the rail and marine traffic volumes will likely be generated by port-related activities. " Structural Engineering Review: The New Westminster Rail Bridge Study will investigate the structural condition of the bridge and the approaches, including estimates of the remaining service life based on its structural conditions. " Rehabilitation and Replacement Options: Depending on the outcomes of the rail capacity and structural engineering reviews, the New Westminster Rail Bridge Study will assess either rehabilitation or replacement options for the bridge and approaches. More specifically, the New Westminster Rail Bridge Study has three key objectives: 1) To determine the crossing capacity requirement and remaining life of the existing bridge and approaches; 2) To identify and estimate the cost of future upgrade and replacement options and conduct a comprehensive multiple account evaluation (MAE) of the final options; and 3) To recommend option(s) for the future of the New Westminster Rail Bridge. 3.3 Study Tasks The consultant will prepare the proposal based on the required tasks identified in the following section. However, the consultant is encouraged to suggest additional useful or creative approaches within the maximum level of effort. Seeking active input of the partners will be a valued part of this assignment. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement. Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada. Armstrong, Wendy 800 Burrard Street, 12th Floor 800, rue Burrard, 12e etage Vancouver, BC V6Z 2V8 (604) 775-7691 ( )
