AI Contract Overview
The Department of National Defence is seeking a qualified contractor to dismantling, disposing, and recycling the MV Capt. Earl W. Winsor, a retired roll-on/roll-off ferry constructed in 1972 and modified in 1998, following extensive environmental damage from a 2024 flooding incident and prior oil contamination. The vessel, made of steel and previously used in Canadian coastal service, has been inactive since 2016 and currently resides in Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador. The contractor must comply with all Canadian environmental regulations and execute a government-approved Ship Recycling Plan, including necessary preparations for towing the vessel to an approved recycling facility if required. The contract period extends up to seven months from the award date, with no security deposit required. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience in marine salvage or commercial marine operations within the past 15 years and have completed at least two prior pollutant removal and steel hull dismantling projects. The proposal must identify key personnel with proven expertise in pollutant removal, marine survey and stability assessments, and steel vessel deconstruction. A comprehensive response plan detailing vessel access, bulk pollutant removal, dismantling procedures, and a clear operational timeline is mandatory. Proposals will be evaluated strictly on compliance with these mandatory criteria and lowest evaluated price, with the procurement subject to multiple international and domestic trade agreements including CETA, CPTPP, and CFTA. The solicitation is open under number 30007433, with submissions due by May 28, 2026.
