Solicitation No. EQ754-152162/A, Project No. R067842.004,
Surveying Transport Canada Lands North of Queen Elizabeth Way,
Niagara Region, ON.

SCOPE OF WORK:

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) intends to
retain a firm of Surveyors to survey Transport Canada (TC) lands
north of Queen Elizabeth Way in Niagara Region, Ontario.

The required work involves obtaining a series of boundary
surveys for parcels that are under the custodianship of TC in
the Niagara area.  The Department of Transport Canada owns lands
which are managed by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management
Corporation (SLSMC).  This project includes cadastral surveying
work required in order to establish the limits of certain TC
lands in the Niagara area.  These lands include approximately
730 hectares of land area and 541 hectares of water lot.  The
lands and water lot are located immediately east of the working
Welland Canal running from Lake Ontario to the Queen Elizabeth
Way.

This project requires professional surveying services to provide
TC with an up-to-date report on extent and quality of ownership
of certain St. Lawrence Seaway lands located in the City of St.
Catharines and the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The report is to
include the results of a search of the local Registry Office
records, field surveys and the preparation of Reference Plans of
Survey.
