The Correctional Service Canada requires the services of a contractor to remove and replace three (3) existing Fulton boilers with new compatible high-efficiency boilers.

Their replacement is essential to maintain uninterrupted service and operational efficiency.

The Contractor must:
1. Complete their own site assessment.
2. Decommission, disconnect, remove and dispose of the current boilers.
3. Supply and install three (3) new boilers, including all necessary electrical work and rigging.
