    1.	Requirement
    
    Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf
    of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC),
    has a requirement for Civil Engineering Design Services at the
    Giant Mine Site in the Northwest Territories.
    
    This procurement will result in a task authorization agreement
    to supply civil engineering and design services required on an
    "as and when requested basis" to advance surface water
    management, Baker Creek re-alignment, tailings covers and borrow
    components of the remedial approach currently under review. The
    final scope of services to be completed by the successful
    Proponent cannot be finalized until the formal EA review process
    is complete and the remedial approach is confirmed.
     
    The Proponent will be expected to provide a full range of
    engineering and design services on an "as and when requested"
    basis including but not limited to hydraulic, municipal,
    geotechnical soils and tailings cover specialization
    engineering, as well as cost estimates, risk assessments,
    on-site supervision, quality control & assurance, commissioning
    witnessing/verification and project close-out coordination.  The
    Proponent may also be required to provide technical support to
    PWGSC through the regulatory process. The Proponent will be
    responsible for the overall design integration for the project.
    
    The Proponent will also assist PWGSC and the Construction
    Manager to develop work packages to support Design-Bid-Build,
    Design-Build and Design-Build-Operate project delivery
    approaches. PWGSC will act as the Project Manager throughout the
    duration of this Agreement.
    
    Any resulting Contract is on an "as and when requested" basis,
    whereby the Proponent 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. 
    
    
    2.	Background
    
    Giant Mine is a former gold mine located within the City of
    Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. It covers 872 hectares
    and encompasses a number of ponds and small lakes - including
    Baker Creek, Pocket Lake, Trapper Lake and a portion of
    Yellowknife Bay (Great Slave Lake).  Giant Mine is roughly a
    10-minute drive from downtown Yellowknife along Highway 4
    Ingraham Trail. From 1948 to 2004, Giant Mine produced 7.6
    million ounces of gold. While gold mining in Yellowknife was a
    significant economic driver to the economy, it left a legacy at
    Giant. The processing of gold resulted in the production of
    approximately 237,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide, and that
    trioxide is currently stored in solid rock in underground
    vaults. There is also arsenic contamination on the surface. In
    1999, the owner of Giant Mine, Royal Oak Mines, went into
    receivership. The court assigned the site to the Government of
    Canada through Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development
    Canada (AANDC) whom effectively inherited the site and its
    environmental condition.
    
    
    3.	Period Of Contract
    
    The Contract is from Contract award until 31 March 2017
    (approximately 3 years) with 8, 1 year option periods.
    
    
    4.	Optional Site Visit and Proponents Conference
    
    It is recommended that the Proponent or a representative of the

    NWT.
    
    A proponents conference will be held after the site visit at
    12:30 PM. The location of the proponents conference will be
    provided to registrants once the location has been determined.
    
    The scope of the requirement outlined in the bid solicitation
    will be reviewed during the conference and questions will be
    answered. Any questions and answers, clarifications or changes
    to the proposal solicitation resulting from the proponents'
    conference will be included as an amendment to the proposal
    solicitation. It is recommended that proponents who intend to
    submit a proposal attend or send a representative. Proponents
    who do not attend or send a representative will not be given an
    alternative appointment but they will not be precluded from
    submitting a proposal.
    
    The Pre Design Reports (PDRs) will be provided at the Proponents
    Conference. The PDRs available for this conference include Baker
    Creek, Borrow, Tailings and Surface Water Management.
    
    Proponents are requested to communicate with the Contract
    Authority before the scheduled visit and conference to confirm
    attendance. Proponents should provide, in writing, to the
    Contract Authority, the names of the person(s) who will be
    attending and a list of issues they wish to table at least 5
    working days before the scheduled conference.
