Title
Environmental compliance, contaminated sites and Environmental assessments.

Description of Requirement
Transport Canada (TC) is seeking consulting firms able to provide, upon request, various environmental services, for different locations across Quebec. 

Transport Canada (TC) owns several port and airport facilities throughout Quebec and must ensure that these sites are well managed with regard to applicable environmental legislation. This legislation applies both to work carried out for maintenance and/or modification of these sites and to their operation. One of the challenges consists in improving the Ministry’s environmental practices and in taking steps to mitigate the environmental impact of its activities on the sites it owns. 

Whether to manage its operations and activities more soundly, adjudicate upon the environmental condition of one of its sites as part of a transfer, a lease or to develop a remediation project, the Ministry must conduct environmental site assessments (phase I, II or III ESA), environmental compliance audits (ECA), environmental monitoring or risk analyses for health and/or the environment for these port and airport facilities in the Quebec region.

TC’s environmental affairs team wishes to develop standing offers to retain professional services in the environmental field. 

To this end, the targeted services are divided into two parts and are associated with consulting services in environmental compliance and contaminated sites management and in impact assessment and natural environment management.
