1. GENERAL
Questions regarding any aspect of the project are to be addressed to and answered only by the
Departmental Representative (or his designate) or the Contracting Authority.
Any information received other than from the Departmental Representative (or his designate) or
the Contracting Authority will be disregarded when awarding the contract and during construction.
Firms intending to submit tenders on this project should obtain tender documents through the
CanadaBuys.ca TMA services provider. Addenda, when issued, will be available from the
CanadaBuys.ca TMA service provider. Firms that elect to base their bids on tender documents
obtained from other sources do so at their own risk and will be solely responsible to inform the
tender calling authority of their intention to bid. Tender packages are not available for distribution
on the actual day of tender closing.
2. MANDATORY SITE VISIT
It is mandatory that the bidder attends one of the site visits at the designated date and time. At
least one representative from proponents that intend to bid must attend. The site visits will be held
on August 6th, 2024 and August 7th, 2024 at 9:00am MDT. Meet Camélia Kalakhi at the Lobby, 110
Gymnasium Place, Saskatoon. Bidders who, for any reason, cannot attend one of the specified
dates and time will not be given an alternative appointment to view the site and their tenders,
therefore, will be considered as non-responsive. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

- At the site visit, to limit contact and risks:
o The proponents will sanitize their hands at the hand sanitizing station.
o The proponents will be asked to sign the Attendance Form. It is the responsibility of
all proponents to verify information on the Attendance Form.
o The site visits could take longer than usual, therefore anticipate a longer meeting
duration.

o Physical distancing: keeping a distance of at least 2 arms-length (approximately 2
metres) from others may not be possible at all times, therefore the use of NRC issued
disposable face coverings to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is
mandatory.
o The proponents shall not impede safe access to and from the facility.
- Proposals submitted by bidders who have not attended the site visit or failed to submit their
identification and contact information at the site visit will be deemed non-responsive.
