Defence Construction Canada / Construction de Défense Canada - Ottawa, Ontario
Defence Construction Canada is seeking abbreviated proposals from engineering consulting firms to design replacement hydronic heating systems at seven northern Long-Range Radar sites in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and Yukon. The work appears to include plans and specifications, plus support during the later tendering and construction phases. The anticipated construction value is approximately $19 million; this is an estimated construction cost and not necessarily the value of the consulting contract. The solicitation lists hourly-rate roles for project management, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering, architecture, technical support, and asbestos-abatement design. It also includes allowances and pricing requirements described in the RFAP. The selected consultant will be required to hold a valid SECRET-level Facility Security Clearance issued through PSPC’s Contract Security Program. The procurement includes Indigenous business set-aside measures under applicable trade agreements and Modern Treaty requirements, so the RFAP should be reviewed carefully for eligibility, partnership, and participation rules. The tender is open and closes September 22, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice indicates that the closing date has been amended more than once, while the closing time remains unchanged. Proposals must be submitted through the MERX Electronic Bidding System. Questions must be sent only to the contact identified in the official notice; contacting another party could create a disqualification risk. This opportunity potentially matches firms with multidisciplinary engineering and architectural capacity, northern or remote-project experience, and the required security clearance. However, a business should not rely on this summary to determine its eligibility. Review the complete RFAP, all amendments, security requirements, Indigenous set-aside provisions, submission instructions and evaluation criteria on MERX before deciding whether to bid.Official source: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/4005406623/abstract?language=EN
