NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT
PETROLEUM STORAGE TANK SYSTEMS - REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
SIX RCMP DETACHMENTS, NWT
REQUIREMENT:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) requires the
services of an environmental/mechanical engineering firm or
joint partnership, acting in the capacity of the coordinating
engineer of record, together with a multi-disciplinary team of
sub-consultants for the provision of services required for this
project.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC)
Environmental Services (ES) has been retained by PWGSC-RPS in
Yellowknife to manage the above ground petroleum storage tank
upgrade, removal and/or replacement program at six RCMP
detachments in the Northwest Territories.
As a responsible environmental steward, the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) developed a Sustainable Development
Strategy in 1997 with updates in 2000, 2003 and 2007. One of the
targets of the RCMP Sustainable Development Strategy in 2003 was
to achieve 100% compliance with the applicable storage tank
Codes and Regulations. In response to this target, in 2006 the
RCMP initiated a project to conduct a National Storage Tank
Baseline Study of 65 storage tank systems (including 102
individual tanks) at RCMP facilities across Canada. The results
of the Baseline Study in 2006 provided the RCMP with the
information necessary to prioritize their risks associated with
these tank systems.
PROJECT SCOPE:
The Work under this program includes six RCMP detachements in
the Northwest Territories as follows: (1) Tuktoyaktuk
(one-22,500 L gasoline tank); (2) Behchoko/Rae and Edzo
(ten-1135 L home heating fuel tanks); (3) Wha'Ti (four-1135 L
home heating fuel tanks); (4) Fort Good Hope (three-1135 L home
heating fuel tanks); (5) Fort Liard (three-1135 L home heating
fuel tanks); and, (6) Fort Providence (six-1135 L home heating
fuel tanks). Two of the sites are remote fly-in sites only.
All travel and field work should occur in as cost effective a
manner as possible (i.e. one flight from source to Yellowknife
which could be the hub for all NT travels). All Work to be
completed must be in compliance with all relevant codes,
guidelines, standards, criteria, Acts and regulations. Services
required include, but are not limited to; design and preparation
of construction specifications and drawings, and cost estimates;
tender and construction support services; commissioning and post
construction support services.
