Description
As the custodian of most federal lands in Nunavut, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), Nunavut Regional Office (NRO) (the Department) is responsible for managing a number of contaminated properties that were abandoned by their previous occupants. The contamination of these properties is the result of 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. There are approximately 85 contaminated sites and waste sites remaining across Nunavut.
The sites are managed through the Contaminated Sites Program (CSP). The objective of this program is to manage contaminated sites in a cost-effective and consistent manner. The program aims to reduce and eliminate, where possible, risks to human and environmental health, and liability associated with contaminated sites in Nunavut. Priority is given to those sites posing the highest risks. The program is funded and managed through the government-wide initiative known as the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP). FCSAP is a long-term strategy to manage contaminated sites for which departments, agencies and consolidated Crown corporations have control or responsibility.
The Department anticipates initiating a series of environmental investigations, remedial activities, and/or long term monitoring at a number of sites throughout the Nunavut Region as part of its custodial responsibilities. As such, the Department requires professional services from qualified firms composed of environmental, geotechnical and engineering specialists with the capability and expertise to successfully complete specific tasks as required by the Department.
The department intends to award up to four Standing Offer Agreements for a period to July 31, 2021 with two one-year option periods.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
The Request for Standing Offers (RFSO) is to establish National Master Standing Offers for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the RFSO, to the Identified Users across Canada, including areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs).
