Advance Procurement Notice

Environmental Program FY 2018-2020

CFS Alert & Eureka, Nunavut

(with Security Requirements)

Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice

This is not a bid solicitation. This is an advance notice of potential projects with anticipated security requirements to provide interested Consultants an opportunity to apply for security clearances. Note that there is no guarantee that these projects will proceed.

Description of the Project and Services

The purpose of the work is to identify historical and/or current areas of potential environmental concern (APECs), Areas of Concerns (AECs) and potential contaminants of concerns (COCs) based on a review of available historical information, data gap analysis, site visits and interviews, and develop a conceptual site model (CSM) that depicts site conditions both present and past, potential sources of contamination, migration pathways and potential receptors.

The Consultant Program will consist of desktop studies, site reconnaissance and environmental field programs. The program may include, but is not limited to environmental assessment, risk assessment and environmental remediation. Additional technical services supporting the program may also include, but not be limited to, land surveying, materials testing, geotechnical and environmental studies. 

Overall program value is estimated at $5,000,000.00, with the maximum value of any individual project estimated at $2,000,000.00.

Description of the Services

The program will consist of services that may include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)

• Investigative Work Plan (IWP)

• Phase II ESA and Delineation

• Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment

• Soil Sampling

• Water Sampling

• Biopile Management

• Conceptual Site Model (CSM)

The primary site is located at Canadian Forces Station (CFS) in Alert, Nunavut. Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert is a Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) station located on the North-Eastern tip of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut; that is supported by 8 Wing Trenton. Due to the remote nature of CFS Alert, DND provides air travel departing from and returning to 8 Wing Trenton. The alternate site that may be included in this project is Eureka, Nunavut; travel to Eureka is also coordinated through 8 Wing Trenton.

It is anticipated that the procurement for these projects will be initiated in the period of December, 2018 through March 31, 2020. This is conditional on the project receiving approval to proceed by DND.
