Environment and Climate Change Canada is seeking fabrication for a replacement hydrometric-station platform at Pointe-des-Cascades, Québec.
- **Buyer:** Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), through the Water Survey of Canada / Canada’s Hydrometric Survey Division; the attachment also names Ryan Paiva.
- **Procurement:** Fixed-price fabrication and supply of a hot-dip galvanized steel grated platform and related components for hydrometric station 02MC005. A preliminary site visit and review by a qualified professional engineer are required.
- **Products and quantities:** Platform components include beams, grating, railings, gates, mounting angles, fasteners and warning signage; no part numbers or quantities are specified. Optional work includes six galvanized helical screw piles, an ECCC-supplied stilling well and aluminum shelter (one each), a U-channel modification and one floating silt curtain.
- **Optional services:** Site preparation and transport of ECCC equipment; pile installation; platform, stilling-well and shelter installation; underwater connection support by a diver; electrical installation and disconnection; asbestos-tile removal; removal of existing structures; and site restoration. Optional work requires authorization by contract amendment.
- **Notable requirements:** Piles must be installed by a manufacturer-certified technician, with a report confirming depth and torque. Electrical work requires a Québec-licensed electrician and coordination with Hydro-Québec. A qualified professional engineer must review the fabrication and, if exercised, the installation. Site safety, compliant asbestos handling and disposal, and protection of the work area are also required.
- **Asbestos information:** Background sampling by Spheratest Environnement found 13.19% chrysotile asbestos in vinyl floor tile; acoustic ceiling tile tested negative. Tile removal is optional and must follow applicable handling and disposal requirements.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No platform or equipment OEM is identified. Spheratest Environnement is named in the background sampling reports; Hydro-Québec is identified for electrical-service coordination. The stilling well, shelter and silt curtain are to be supplied by ECCC.
- **Other procurement details:** The solicitation limits eligibility to Canadian suppliers and evaluates technical merit and price, weighted 60% and 40%, respectively. Work is at Pointe-des-Cascades, Québec, on the St. Lawrence River.
