Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Services for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) for conversions, major refits, midlife modernizations (MLMs), and vessel life extensions (VLEs).
Letter of Interest (LOI)/Request for Information (RFI)/B to engage interested suppliers in the review of Draft Request for Proposal and Evaluation criteria.
DESCRIPTION
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) currently operates a fleet of over one-hundred vessels which it strives to keep operational so that it can deliver on its mandate and the various programs that exist to support that mandate. To support this effort, CCG conducts midlife modernizations, refits, and vessel life extensions (VLEs) to keep its fleet operational, even as vessels age. While CCG has plans to replace certain vessels within the fleet, there is an increasing priority to ensure that the fleet stays mission-ready while CCG awaits the arrival of these new vessels.
The objective of the Engineering Services Support (ESS) procurement is to secure additional support from naval architecture and marine engineering firms to support ITS-ME system engineers with the engineering and design work for midlife modernizations, major refits, and VLEs. It is anticipated that the selected Contractor(s) will work with collaboratively with CCG system engineers to develop technical solutions for major refit, MLM or VLE requirements. The selected Contractor(s) will be responsible for engineering and design and ensures the integration of all Vessel systems and will generate specifications and design drawings to be used by shipyards to conduct modification work.
All interested naval architecture and marine engineering firms having capabilities in all 3 disciplines of naval architecture, marine/mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering will be welcome to participate in the final review of Draft documents before the release of Request for Proposal (RFP)for Engineering Support Services anticipated in May 2021.
This final review will allow industry an opportunity to provide input on all aspects of the procurement, including procurement strategy, basis of payment, selection methodology and evaluation of bids.
