Great Bear Lake Remediation Consultant Services

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to retain an individual consulting firm or joint venture to provide the professional services for the project as set out in this Request for Proposal (RFP).

This is a single phase selection process. The nature of the requirement and the anticipated limited number of response by the industry leads PWGSC to believe that this approach will not unduly force a large number of firms to expend an overall unreasonable amount of effort in response to PWGSC.

Proponents responding to this RFP are requested to submit a full and complete proposal. The proposal will cover not only the qualifications, experience and organization of the proposed Consultant Team, but also the detailed approach to the work, Indigenous Opportunity Considerations (IOC), and the pricing and terms offered.

A combination of the technical and price of services submissions will constitute the proposal.

Proponents must use the epost Connect service provided by Canada Post Corporation to transmit their proposals electronically.

Due to the nature of the solicitation, transmission of offers by facsimile will not be accepted.

Proponents must refer to GI16 Submission of proposal, and SRE 2 Proposal Requirements, of the bid solicitation, for further information.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC) is inviting a proposal from your firm to provide technical consulting services in support of the final stages of remedial planning, as well as manage, administer, and provide expert review of the work carried out by a remediation Contractor.

CIRNAC, as the custodian of most federal lands in the North, has responsibility, through the Contaminated Sites Program (CSP), to manage a number of contaminated properties that are no longer maintained by the original occupant. CIRNAC’s portfolio of contaminated sites in the North originated from private sector mining, oil and gas activities and government military activity dating back over half a century, many years before the environmental impacts of such activities were adequately understood. The Great Bear Lake (GBL) Sites project in the Northwest Territories (NWT) is one such example.

The Phased Bid Compliance Process applies to this requirement.
