PWGSC PROJECT NUMBER - R.057571.001

REQUIREMENT: 

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of
Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) has a
requirement for the supply of all labour, equipment and material
for remediation activities at Nottingham Island, Former Weather
Station, Nunavut.  Work for this requirement includes, but not
limited to, the following: 

Preparation of planning documents and submittals; Mobilization
and demobilization of all personnel, equipment, support
facilities and materials; 

Transport and off-site disposal of all nonhazardous demolition
debris and all other non-hazardous debris waste materials;

Off-site disposal of all hazardous demolition debris; 

Demolition of existing structures;

Off-site transportation and disposal of Asbestos Containing
Materials; 

Excavation, and off-site disposal of both Petroleum Hydro Carbon
(PHC) impacted, Metal impacted, and co-contaminated soils 

Provision of the following site support services:  Provision and
maintenance of Departmental Representative's vehicles;
Construction Camp facilities, including operation, maintenance,
catering and janitorial service; Safety, fire protection, office
and medical services;  Transportation services to site for
Departmental Representative and Departmental Representative
Authorized Personnel to site; Communication services for
Contractor and Departmental Representative and Provision of
Wildlife Monitors.

BACKGROUND:

The site is located approximately 140 km. southwest of Cape
Dorset, Nunavut in the Qikiqtaaluk region along the banks of the
Hudson Strait. Ivujivik, Quebec is situated approximately 80 km
south of the site and is the closest community.  The closest
Nunavut community to the site is Cape Dorset, Nunavut (~140 km.,
to the North).  The approximate centre of the site is located at
the coordinates 63.111974 N, 77.938633 W. 

At the present time the site is accessible by helicopter with a
landing pad south of the bunkhouse. There is no airstrip
available for fixed-wing aircraft on the island. Historically,
when the site was operational, it was accessible by boat with
the landing area on the beach immediately south of the site.  A
trail runs east to west along the north end of the site and is
approximately 2.7 m. wide with no embankment, and is accessible
by All Terraine Vehicle at the present time.  Existing saturated
soil conditions within the work area might require the use of
low weight bearing equipment in order to perform the remediation
activities.
