Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of Transport Canada, requires a supplier specializing in marine sewage systems to disconnect, dismantle and remove the existing sewage treatment plant and supply, install and commission the necessary replacement equipment onboard the MV Confederation.

It is understood that the Supplier will supply the equipment and have the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Field Service Representative (FSR) present to oversee the commissioning, set to work and certification of the system. The new system must meet present regulations for the operating locations of the vessel. The successful supplier is responsible for all material and work required in completing the removal/disposal, supply, delivery and installation. Any sub contract work required to complete the installation will be the sole responsibility of the contractor. The vessel will be berthed in Caribou, NS or Pictou, NS during the installation phase. The new system must be capable of managing the same hydraulic load as the existing unit (17.5 m³ /day).

Arrangements have been made for the site visit to be held on board MV Holiday Island on September 15th, 2022, beginning at 1300 local time at 3722 Highway 106, Caribou, Nova Scotia B0K 1H0.
