Nature of Requirements:
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) fleet of Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV) primarily supports the Search and Rescue (SAR), icebreaking and marine navigation services mandate in the Central Region, and the Western region. See Annex B for operational areas for both ACV bases in Vancouver and Trois-Rivières. The ACV has the unique capability of navigating shallow waters and mudflats as it hovers on an air cushion above surfaces. This vehicle provides medium lift capability and access to areas inaccessible to all other vessels. As such, the ACV also conducts numerous secondary missions including support to law enforcement and response to emergency situations and natural disasters in cooperation with other federal, provincial, and municipal government agencies. For more information about the ACV visit the following web page: https://inter-j01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fdat/vessels/98.
The current ACV fleet is composed of 2 vehicles commissioned in 1998, one commissioned in 2008 and the last one commissioned in 2014. These vehicles have a relatively short in-service life expectancy due to their aluminum build and icebreaking core duty in harsh environment.
The CCG is beginning the procurement process for the replacement of its aging ACV fleet and is therefore seeking information on existing vehicles and proven designs. Understanding market availability of applicable and suitable technical solutions will be key to help shape the procurement strategy.
With its first Request for Information (RFI), Canada sought to understand market availability of applicable and suitable technical solutions, with the purpose of: 1.Apprising potential bidders of the requirements of this project; 2.Collecting preliminary information regarding the technical feasibility of the requirements; 3.Seeking industry feedback to streamline the technical and solicitation requirements; and 4.Seeking costing information from industry for budgetary purposes.
Purpose of this Request for Information Through this second RFI, Canada is seeking to continue its industry engagement by conducting additional activities (one-on-one sessions) which will help inform the procurement strategy and technical requirements, and ensure that Canada conducts a process that is fair, open and transparent.
Response is requested on or before November 8, 2022.
Shipyards and ship designers are encouraged to respond.
Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
