Alison Guilford is named as the buyer contact. - Project: One single-storey duplex in Thaıdene Nëné National Park Reserve, with one two-bedroom unit and one one-bedroom unit. - Services requested: Architecture and engineering, permits, modular fabrication (preferred), transportation and logistics, site preparation and utilities, foundation construction, installation and finishing, testing and commissioning, project close-out, handover, training, and warranty services. The electrical connection is identified as a $50,000 cash allowance. - Notable requirements: Durable, low-maintenance construction suited to a remote northern climate; energy performance at least 40% better than the NECB threshold; airtightness no greater than one air change per hour at 50 Pa; and a high-efficiency heat recovery ventilator with greater than 70% sensible heat recovery, or passive-house certification where feasible. The project also calls for water and sewage holding tanks, locally serviceable mechanical systems, and an electrical sub-panel configured for a Parks Canada-supplied generator. - Remote-site considerations: The site has no permanent road access.

The property is identified as purchased by LKDFN and leased by Parks Canada. - Indigenous participation: A plan with firm benefits commitments for Indigenous employment, businesses, and training in the contract area is required. - Evaluation and value: Proposals are weighted 30% for technical merit, 25% for Indigenous benefits, and 45% for price.
