Saskatchewan Tenders #GIEMS-RFP-A

GIEMS Nuclear Research Reactor FEL-1 Feasibility Study Work Packages

GIEMS is seeking proposals for four work packages supporting a FEL-1 feasibility study of a potential nuclear research reactor at the University of Saskatchewan’s Saskatoon campus. - Buyer and opportunity - Buyer: Global Institute for Energy, Minerals and Society Inc. (GIEMS), listed under Advanced Education. - The study will assess whether the concept is ready to advance to FEL-2; no reactor site has been selected. - The opportunity includes four independent work packages: specialized technical expertise (RFP-A), Indigenous engagement and environmental and societal assessment (RFP-B), business and economic assessment (RFP-C), and research, testing and training assessment (RFP-D). - OEMs and vendors - No reactor OEMs, manufacturers, or other vendors are named in the provided materials. - The University of Saskatchewan is the campus location for the study; GIEMS coordinates the study and workstream integration. - Requested services - RFP-A: assess reactor technology and configuration options, siting, infrastructure and campus integration, environmental considerations, regulatory and licensing pathways, safety, security and safeguards, emergency preparedness, fuel supply, spent fuel and radioactive-waste management, implementation needs, and technical risks and enabling conditions. - Develop a standardized framework for cost and schedule inputs, then validate and integrate inputs from the study workstreams into a FEL-1 Class D cost estimate and high-level project schedule. - RFP-A deliverables include assessments, matrices and registers, risk and issue inputs, an integration register, and supporting editable files. The estimate is expected to have 30% accuracy, subject to documented assumptions and limitations. - RFP-B, RFP-C and RFP-D address Indigenous engagement and environmental and societal assessment; business and economic assessment; and research, testing and training assessment, respectively. - Notable requirements and value - RFP-A has an upset limit of CAD $200,000, inclusive of fees, disbursements and applicable taxes. - Site visits to the University of Saskatchewan’s Saskatoon campus are required, along with participation in GIEMS-coordinated project integration activities. - The work is expected to be completed in approximately two months after commencement; the RFP-A cost and schedule input framework is due within five business days of commencement. - The RFP-A price must include associated travel and mobilization expenses. Proposals must remain valid for at least 120 days after the submission deadline.

Description

GIEMS is seeking a qualified proponent to provide specialized technical and engineering expertise for a FEL-1 feasibility study of a potential nuclear research reactor at the University of Saskatchewan’s Saskatoon campus. The work includes assessing reactor technologies and configurations, siting, infrastructure and campus integration, regulatory and licensing pathways, safety, fuel and waste management, and technical risks and enabling conditions. It will be delivered in two phases: a technical assessment and cost/schedule input framework, followed by integrating findings and workstream inputs into a comprehensive Class D cost estimate and high-level project schedule. The RFP states an upset limit of up to CAD $200,000, inclusive of fees, disbursements, and applicable taxes, and anticipates completion within approximately two months of project commencement.
