Title
Decommissioning and installation of wells, groundwater quality
monitoring, soil characterization and wetlands -
Havre-Saint-Pierre airport
Background
Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf
of Transport Canada (TC), requires the services of an
environmental contractor to conduct groundwater quality
monitoring at the Transport Canada-owned site of
Havre-Saint-Pierre airport in Quebec. Related work will also
have to be conducted by the contractor, including the
decommissioning and installation of groundwater monitoring
wells, surface soil characterization near the two fuel storage
tanks, and identification and delineation of wetlands on the
airport site.
The work under this contract will be performed in preparation
for the proposed airport rehabilitation. TC intends to carry out
work on the movement area of the Havre-Saint-Pierre airport,
including the runway, taxiways and apron. The surface of these
facilities is past its useful life and work must be done to
restore the surface. The proposed work also includes expansion
of part of the apron to ensure safer aircraft manoeuvring on the
ground. Major earthwork in the graded areas will have to be done
to comply with new regulatory standards. This includes filling
drainage ditches and excavating rock and organic soils along the
runway in the transitional surface.
As part of groundwater quality monitoring carried out at the
site in previous years, various parameters were detected at
concentrations exceeding the applicable criteria, including
certain MAHs, PAHs, and metals.
The purpose of the work is to continue groundwater quality
monitoring, clarify the boundaries of the sector(s) affected by
groundwater contamination, verify the soil quality near the
storage tanks, and delineate the wetlands on the property.
Description of requirement
The work under this contract can be divided into the following
five categories:
decommissioning of monitoring wells located within the paved
surface rehabilitation areas and damaged or unused wells acting
as preferred contaminant migration pathways;
installation of two new wells in unconsolidated sediments;
groundwater quality monitoring for all wells at the site as well
as drinking water wells (Q-28 and Q-1);
surface soil characterization in the sector of the fuel storage
tanks located east of apron;
identification and delineation of wetlands on the property.
The purpose of the work is to provide a better understanding of
the environmental state of groundwater at the Havre-Saint-Pierre
airport site and to protect nearby drinking water resources.
Proposed contract period:
The proposed contract period is from the date of the contract
award to 16 weeks after the contract award.
Selection method:
A bid must comply with all requirements of the bid solicitation
to be declared responsive. The responsive bid with the lowest
evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract.
Ongoing opportunity for qualification:
A Notice will be posted once a year on the Government Electronic
Tendering Service (GETS) to allow new suppliers to become
qualified. Existing qualified suppliers who have been issued a
supply arrangement will not be required to submit a new
arrangement.
