1.1.1 The Department of National Defence (DND) requires multi-year Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment (HHERA), and/or Risk Management services to facilitate development and implementation of: a Clearance and Remediation Plan for the clearance of Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO); remediation of Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs); and infrastructure removal at the former Camp Ipperwash at Stony Point, Ontario (the Site), as per the terms of the Ipperwash Final Settlement Agreement between the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (the Final Settlement Agreement).
The scope of tasks to be completed under this environmental services contract will not include development of the Clearance and Remediation Plan. DND will develop the Clearance and Remediation Plan with support from Stantec Consulting Ltd. (Stantec) under a separate contract.
The scope of services to be completed under this environmental services contract will be those related to AECs and not those related to UXO. UXO clearance of specific areas will be carried out prior to ESA field investigations. However, the scope of tasks to be completed under this environmental services contract will include development and implementation of site-specific health and safety plans for ESA field investigations that identify, control, and mitigate risks associated with the potential presence of UXO in working areas.
The scope of tasks to be completed under this environmental services contract will not include UXO clearance, remediation of contaminated media, or infrastructure removal but may involve completion of Remedial/Risk Management Options Evaluations (ROEs), Risk Management Plans (RMPs), and/or Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for AECs.
The specific scope of tasks to be completed under this environmental services contract will be determined by DND, as required, within individual Task Authorizations. DND will oversee implementation of the work and PSPC will administer the contract. Stantec (under a separate contract) will provide project management support and technical support services to DND, including quality control support services (including review of work plans and reports produced by the Contractor), for implementation of the work.
The term of the contract will be from the date of award until 31 March 2020 with an option for Canada to extend the Contract by three additional one year periods to 31 March 2023.

Bidders who do not attend the mandatory site visit or do not send a representative will not be given an alternative appointment and their bid will be declared non-responsive.
