Environment Canada requires one (1) Aquafine Chlorine Destruct
Unit to assist in their efforts to conduct
scientific research experiments on aquatic life at the
department's state-of-the-art Aquatic Life Research Facility
(ALRF). One of the most important aspects of any wet lab is
water quality delivered to the animals. It is important that it
is optimum for aquatic life and will not affect their health and
welfare. This aspect of live animal research is governed by the
Canadian Council of Animal Care (CCAC), which CCIW's own Animal
Care Committee enforces.
 
Chlorine is one of the most concerning chemicals found in
drinking water if used for wet labs. Many fish species are
extremely intolerant. It is recommended by the CCAC that
concentrations be below 10 ug/L. The incoming municipal water at
CCIW is usually above 1 mg/L.

The ALRF uses five large carbon tanks which remove chlorine from
the municipal water we use, but this carbon eventually needs to
be replaced every 2-3 years. With the addition of a Chlorine
Destruct UV system, the time for re-bedding the carbon tanks can
be delayed. This system will be installed downstream of the
current UV disinfection system, which does not destroy chlorine
or Total Organic Carbon (TOC).

All deliverables are requested 4 weeks after receipt of contract
award, but must be delivered on or before March 29, 2013. 

A bid must comply with the requirements of the bid solicitation
and meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria to be
declared responsive. The responsive bid with the lowest
evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract. 

Please refer to the Request for Proposal document for complete
details regarding this requirement, including the mandatory
evaluation criteria, and basis of selection.
