U-61 Cooling Plant Optimization
Solicitation # 25-58079
The National Research Council Canada is seeking qualified Canadian contractors to perform the U-61 Cooling Plant Optimization project at 1920 Research Private, Building U-61, Ottawa, Ontario. The contract requires the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of cooling system components to enhance operational efficiency and ensure compliance with applicable technical and safety standards, with all work to be completed within 16 weeks from the date of tender acceptance, targeting an anticipated start date of August 26, 2026. Only suppliers registered as Canadian Contractors are eligible to bid, as this solicitation is governed by the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, and offers from non-trading partner countries will be rejected. Bidders must attend one of two mandatory site visits on July 29 or 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EDT, and sign the attendance sheet; failure to do so will result in bid rejection. All personnel, including subcontractors, must obtain the required security clearances—ranging from Reliability Status to Top Secret—and comply with strict safeguarding measures for PROTECTED and CLASSIFIED information; non-compliance will deny site access, and the contractor assumes all associated delays and costs. Contractors must adhere to safety protocols during site visits and on-site work, including wearing approved personal protective equipment, and must ensure all personnel are properly trained, wear NRC-issued identification badges, and are subject to immediate removal for safety violations. The evaluation of bids will be based on five equally weighted technical factors: Quality of Workmanship, Time, Project Management, Contract Management, and Health and Safety, each scored from 0 to 20 using adjectival ratings of Unacceptable, Not Satisfactory, Satisfactory, and Superior; the award will be determined through a trade-off process considering overall technical merit. The contractor is required to submit comprehensive deliverables including commissioning reports, maintenance documentation, training programs, electrical and piping labels, and inventory records in English and computer-compatible formats, all in accordance with CSA, ASME, UL, AWWA, and other specified standards. All submissions must be emailed to Max.Grohs@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca as individual, non-compressed attachments prior to the August 18, 2026 deadline, with no external links or ZIP files permitted. The contract includes stringent administrative and financial requirements, including compliance with the Government of Canada’s Integrity Regime, proper accounting practices, and statutory declarations
