Validation of the recommended distances and assessment of emergency response guidance for boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE) behaviour in the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) using updated modelling techniques

Solicitation # T8080-260061

Transport Canada’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Program is seeking a contractor to validate and modernize the emergency response distances for boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVEs) involving propane and other liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) as outlined in the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG). The ERG, jointly developed by Transport Canada, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and Mexico’s infrastructure and transport secretariat, provides critical guidance to first responders during hazardous materials incidents, with the BLEVE table serving as a key reference for protective action distances. The current distances, based on 1995 modeling from limited physical testing, have been found inadequate in real-world BLEVE events, prompting this initiative to incorporate state-of-the-art data-driven techniques, including machine learning and advanced physics-based simulations, to improve predictive accuracy. The contractor must conduct a comprehensive review of existing BLEVE hazard models covering fireball, thermal radiation, blast overpressure, and projectile risks, develop a detailed data dictionary and management strategy, and then build and validate an open-source predictive model in Python using historical incident and test data. This model must output protective action distances compatible with ERG decision-making and be rigorously compared against current guidance to assess performance improvements and readiness for operational adoption. The contract, solicited under number T8080-260061 with a response deadline of August 17, 2026, has an initial term ending March 19, 2027, and is evaluated on a trade-off basis where technical merit accounts for 70% and price for 30%. Technical qualification is strictly gated by mandatory requirements including a project team with a qualified project manager, expertise in Python-based predictive modeling, experience in emergency response management, and specialized knowledge of pressure-liquefied gas containment standards in North America. Proposals are assessed on modeling experience using Python (50 points), data availability and methodology (30 points), work plan quality (30 points), and ERG-specific experience (10 points). Contractors must deliver a final report, monthly progress updates, and all model code publicly, with Canada retaining full intellectual property rights. The contract includes strict compliance clauses covering confidentiality, audit rights, insurance, anti-forced labor, international sanctions, and a prohibition on contingency fees. The work will be performed remotely by the contractor, with no specified physical delivery location, and all deliverables must be in English. The contractor must also demonstrate compliance with Canada’s procurement code of conduct and the Federal Contractors
