This document is an outline of the scope for work beginning in the fiscal year 2021/22 and ending March 31, 2023 in support of a Request for Proposal seeking an engineering consultant for the assessment phase for Arctic Gold and Silver and Venus Mine Site. The purpose is also to provide a basis for a class 5 cost estimate and allow discussion to occur with the CIRNAC contracting authority and the Carcross and Tagish First Nation (C/TFN). The assessment phase of the project will involve at minimum, consideration to some extent the phases provided below. Considerable amount of work has taken place at both sites so the work required for certain phases may not be extensive. All deliverables (i.e. reports and presentations) should first be submitted to CIRNAC in draft form for approval prior to issuing the final versions.

• Background Review
• Data Gap Analysis
• Data Collection
• Conceptual Site Model and HHERA
• Standards Development
• Remedial Options

Working Location: The vendor will work from their own location unless needed on CIRNAC mining sites, should they required on GoC premises, they will be escorted at all times. When the vendor is required to conduct a workshop this may be completed in person at a suitable location proximate to the community of Carcross, or virtually by teleconference. When a vendor is required to conduct an open house this should be completed in person at a suitable location proximate to the community of Carcross. Workshops and open houses should follow the most recent COVID-19 guidance from the Yukon Chief Medical Health Officer and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation; allowances will be made for changing conditions which may make in-person events inadvisable.
