Stevedore Barge Replacement
The Department of National Defence (DND) has a requirement to replace 6 retired wooden stevedore barges with 4 new steel barges. The replacement barges are to operate from Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt under the Port Operations andEmergency Service Branch (POESB).
The primary intent of this RFI is to determine whether a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)* solution, which complies with the requirements outlined in Annex A, exists.
Should potential suppliers have a candidate barge which is not COTS, but would meet the requirements outlined in Annex A with reasonable design changes, they are requested to submit a response with their candidate vessel and identify the modifications to be made.
As indicated in Annex A, potential suppliers are requested to provide pricing and timeline details for the build, delivery and provision of spares for the barges.
Potential suppliers are also requested to answer the general questions outlined in Annex A and also provide any relevant feedbackor information concerning the barges which they feel might be of use to DND.
*For the purpose of this RFI, COTS refers to a vessel which was constructed by the potential supplier, is currently in operation, and meets the requirements set out in AnnexA without modifications.
