The Government of Ontario is seeking proposals for the development of an Emergency Spill Response System (ESRS) for lakes and rivers. - Government buyer: - Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, Government of Ontario - OEMs and platforms highlighted: - MIKE 3 hydrodynamic modelling framework - EcoLab contaminant modelling templates - Real-time decision support platform (e.g., REDiT or equivalent) - Products/services requested: - Development of a web-based ESRS integrating: - MIKE 3 hydrodynamic modelling - Real-time decision support (REDiT or equivalent) - Live monitoring data and automated meteorological/hydrological forecast ingestion - Contaminant transport modelling (hydrocarbons, sulphate, mercury) - EcoLab templates for contaminant modelling - 24/7 online access for authorized responders - Unique requirements: - System must rapidly simulate contaminant transport and fate in aquatic environments - Automatic assessment of impacts to drinking water intakes and Great Lakes ecosystem - Must replace an older system requiring manual data inputs and specialized modelling expertise - Integration of live data and forecasts is mandatory - Estimated contract value: $165,000 - Initial contract duration: 12 months

Description

This solicitation is for the development of an operational Emergency Spill Response System (ESRS) capable of rapidly simulating the transport and fate of contaminants in aquatic environments and automatically assessing impacts to drinking water intakes and the Great Lakes ecosystem. The system will be built upon the MIKE 3 hydrodynamic modelling framework and use a real-time decision support platform to integrate live monitoring data, automated meteorological and hydrological forecast ingestion, and contaminant transport modelling into a single web-based system accessible 24/7 by authorized responders without requiring modelling expertise. The system must utilize existing EcoLab templates to model contaminants such as hydrocarbons, sulphate, and mercury, replacing an older specialized system that requires manual data inputs and modelling expertise. The procurement route is open and the estimated contract value is $165,000 with an estimated duration of 12 months.
