EREP: Ice Skimmer Package

The Canadian Coast Guard is the lead federal agency responsible for ensuring the clean-up of all ship source and mystery source pollution spills into waters under Canadian jurisdiction. To fulfill this mandate, the Canadian Coast Guard requires high capacity skimming capability to recover spilled oil in offshore, unsheltered and ice covered waters.

The Canadian Coast Guard has a requirement for Ice Skimmer Packages and supporting accessories as described in this bid solicitation.

This procurement is part of the Environmental Response Equipment (ERE) Program for the Canadian Coast Guard, and forms part of the Oceans Protection Plan announced in November 2016. Under the ERE Program, Canadian Coast Guard is renewing its suite of environmental response equipment, ensuring a robust and strategic national response capability. The ERE Program will replace aging environmental response equipment and introduce some new technologies to over 80 locations across the country through approximately 50 to 100 unique procurements for different types of equipment.

The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA). Procedural requirements of the other international trade agreements such as Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will be fulfilled following compliance to the procedural requirements of the CUSMA and WTO-AGP.

This bid solicitation may establish a contract with task authorizations for the delivery of the requirement detailed in the bid solicitation, to the Identified Users across Canada, including areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements.

At the time when a Task Authorization is issued, the Contracting Authority and/or Project Authority will discuss with the Contractor to determine if there is an opportunity to include an Indigenous Benefits Plan which generates socio-economic benefits (employment, training and subcontracting) for Indigenous people or businesses.

The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) for employment equity applies to this procurement; see Part 5 -  Certifications and Additional Information, Part 7 - Resulting Contract Clauses and the annex titled Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Certification.
