Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a
requirement, on behalf of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), to
establish Supply Arrangements (SA) for Diving Services within
the Atlantic Region.

SAs are non-binding agreements between PWGSC and suppliers to
provide a range of services on an "as requested" basis.  They
are essentially a list of qualified suppliers for certain
services with a set of predetermined terms and conditions that
would apply to any subsequent contracts issued under the SA.

The purpose of this Request for Supply Arrangement is to
establish a list of pre-qualified Commercial Diving Contractors
in the Atlantic Region that Fisheries and Oceans Canada,
Environmental Response, Canadian Coast Guard will use to solicit
bids and issue individual contracts under the terms and
conditions of the Supply Arrangement for Pollution Abatement.

The following are the categories of services that may be
required under this SA:

 The Commercial Diving Operations may include: 
1. Underwater Vessel Inspection and survey 
2. Underwater hull repair including welding on both aluminum and
steel hulls 
3. Supply and installation of air bladders, plugs and patches to
stop the ingress of water and to allow repairs/maintenance
within the vessel. 
4. Prevention of pollution and environmental leakage 
5. Video documentation of damage and repairs. 
6. Supply and Operation of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) with
and/or without articulating arms. An ROV c/w manipulating arms
may need to be of size that can be operated from the PRV III (52
ft. vessel) and have the ability to be deployed and recovered
manually.
7. Other operations as required. Other operations not listed
above may require additional insurance to be carried by the
contractor. These requirements for additional insurance will be
indicated by PWGSC - St. John's, NL.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned

The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any
procurement.

Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
