Feasibility Study for a Megawatt-Scale Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Testing Facility
Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN):An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
Definition of the requirement:The proposed work involves the following:
Executing services to complete a feasibility study for the implementation of a new Megawatt-Scale Hybrid-Electric Research and Testing Facility for aircraft propulsion. This feasibility study includes electric propulsion technology analysis, evaluation of the market needs for such a facility in Canada, capital cost estimations for the facility, economic viability of the facility based on estimation of operational costs and potential impacts, benefits and risks associated with the new facility within the government objective of making Canada a world leader in clean technology. The Feasibility study must include the following items:
Defining the required technological features and performance capabilities for the Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Testing and Reserach Facility.
Providing a conceptual description and block diagrams of the facility
Providing a comprehensive market analysis; including Canadian and international players; identifying potential clients, competitors and risks.
Providing an estimate of capital investment cost and a schedule to implement the facility.
Providing an estimation of operational cost of the facility per year.
All the parts of the Feasibility Study must be consolidated in a final report to be delivered to the NRC according to the project schedule.
