Painting at Anticosti Island

Painting work on Anticosti Island

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) owns lighthouses that may contain lead paint.

In an effort to address the potential release of lead to the environment, DFO wishes to scrape, clean and paint the exterior of the lighthouses listed in this statement. The objective of scraping and cleaning is not to strip the entire building, but rather to completely remove the paint that may contain lead in order to avoid any future emissions and to make some minor repairs from the surface when necessary. The subsequent application of a paint that meets current environmental standards should allow the remaining paint to be sealed.

During the works, all precautions must be taken to avoid chips, paint residue or other contaminants from contaminating the environment (air, water, soil) and avoid disturbing migratory birds potentially present near the site.

In order to proceed with the repair of the lighthouses, DFO requires from your firm to submit a full fee proposal for the work mentioned in this statement.
