    1.	Requirement
    
    Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf
    of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC),
    has a requirement for Mining Engineering Design Services at the
    Giant Mine Site in the Northwest Territories.
    
    Mining Engineering and Consulting Services for various projects
    are required regularly, on as needed basis, for PWGSC.
    Consultants are to assist PWGSC by providing multi-discipline
    mining engineering services to support care and maintenance and
    risk mitigation at the Giant Mine site. At the time of
    establishment of this Contract, some of the projects are known,
    but others will be defined as required due to changing site
    conditions. 
    
    The Consultant will be expected to provide a full range of
    mining engineering services including but not limited to: design
    and preparation of studies and assessments, risk mitigation and
    reclamation options, cost estimates, drawings and specifications
    and Quality Assurance (QA) during construction activities.
    
    PWGSC will act as the Project Manager throughout the duration of
    this contract. The Consultant will be the Prime Consultant and
    will be responsible to coordinate any Sub-Consultant or
    Specialty Consultant. The services outlined apply not only to
    the Consultant, but to any Sub-Consultant and Specialty
    Consulting disciplines that may be required for a specific
    project.
    
    Any resulting Contract is on an "as and when requested" basis,
    whereby the Contractor offers to provide the Work detailed
    herein, at the prices and terms and conditions set out in the
    resulting Contract, to Canada as and when Canada authorizes and
    orders such work in accordance with the provision hereof.

    starting in 1948; the most recent Mine Site operator ceased
    operations as of July 2004 and notified Government of Canada of
    its intention to terminate their obligations under the
    Reclamation Security Agreement (RSA) January 10, 2005. Care &
    Maintenance (C&M) of the Mine Site is currently being provided
    by a contractor, engaged by PWGSC on behalf of AANDC.

    from the bidders' conference will be included as an amendment to
    the bid solicitation. Bidders who do not attend or send a
    representative will not be given an alternative appointment but
    they will not be precluded from submitting a bid.
    
    It is mandatory that all persons attending the site visit have
