Background:
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) / Canadian
Coast Guard (CCG) has a requirement to replace the Propulsion
Control System (PCS) onboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship
(CCGS) Earl Grey. The CCGS Earl Grey is a Type 1050 class
vessel operated by the CCG that works year round, primarily on
the East Coast of Canada, performing Search and Rescue, Buoy
Tending and Ice Breaking operations. The ship is to undergo a
Vessel Life Extension (VLE) in 2015 and part of that VLE will be
to replace the current PCS.
The existing PCS aboard the CCGS Earl Grey is original installed
equipment from the ship's construction in 1985. The PCS is
obsolete and becoming unreliable.
Requirement:
A) To design, manufacture and factory test ready for
installation a replacement PCS that will provide the same
functionality as the old system with the reliability of a system
in current production and will meet or exceed the requirements
as stipulated in the RFP Annex A - Statement of Work (SOW),
B) To carry out, within the Work Period of the Contract, all
unscheduled work authorized by the Contracting Authority.
Note: The Technical Data Package (TDP) containing the available
drawings, reference books and specifications of the existing PCS
will be provided to bidders at the Bidder's Conference.

representative will not be given an alternative appointment and
their bids will be rejected as non-compliant. Any clarifications
or changes to the bid solicitation resulting from the site visit
will be included as an amendment to the bid solicitation.
