ECCC hydrodynamic modeling frameworks for shellfish-water studies

Environment and Climate Change Canada is procuring hydrodynamic modeling services for shellfish-water studies across Canada. - Government buyer: Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), Department of the Environment, through the Shellfish Water Classification Program; no specific office is identified. - OEM/platform: DHI hydrodynamic modeling software, specifically MIKE 3 and MIKE 21. No other commercial vendors are named. - Services and scope: Develop compatible meshes and hydrodynamic frameworks for 18 planned study sites: four Year 1 priority sites, six Year 2 sites, and eight optional Year 3 sites. The Year 2 site descriptions name seven locations despite stating a quantity of six. - Year 1: Semiahmoo Bay (also called Boundary Bay), Baynes Sound, Fraser River Estuary, and Minas Basin. - Year 2: Powell River, Coal Harbour, Victoria Harbour, Trail Bay, Porpoise Bay, Antigonish Harbour, and Pomquet Harbour. - Optional Year 3: Pender Island, Port Simpson (also referenced as Simpson Harbour), Eskasoni, Chapel Island, Pictou Landing, Tyne Valley (Lennox Island), Piccadilly, and Griquet. - Deliverables and requirements: Include a complete year of baseline data, model and configuration/input files, a technical memorandum covering setup and assumptions, and draft and final reports for each site. Frameworks must support two-week simulations that complete within 24 hours. - Purpose: Enable wastewater-effluent plume and sanitary-pollution assessment, including modeling fecal-coliform contamination in coastal and intertidal shellfish-harvesting waters.

Description

Environment and Climate Change Canada is seeking professional services to collect and organize physical oceanographic data into a usable format. The data will support accurate hydrodynamic models for predicting fecal coliform contamination in coastal and intertidal shellfish harvest areas during planned and unplanned events. The resulting models and frameworks will help ECCC Shellfish Water Classification Program engineers assess potential water quality near sanitary pollution sources and support wastewater assessment and hydrodynamic modelling. The contract period is from award through March 31, 2029, and the solicitation states that only Canadian suppliers are eligible.
