Routine Detailed Inspections (RDI) and report for Transport Canada port Facility False Bay British Columbia (BC)

Transport Canada is seeking a contractor to conduct a Routine Detailed Inspection (RDI) of the False Bay Public Port Facility located on Lasqueti Island, British Columbia, to evaluate the condition of all structural components across submerged, intertidal, and above-water zones, estimate remaining service life, and recommend short- and long-term maintenance strategies to support asset management and future investment decisions. The inspection requires the use of commercial diving teams and/or remotely operated vehicles due to the remote marine location and access limitations, and must include visual and invasive assessments of key elements such as breakwaters, steel cleats, piles, pontoons, safety ladders, and float moorings, while explicitly excluding ultrasonic pile inspections. At least one team member must be a registered Structural or Civil Engineer in British Columbia. The work must be completed by March 31, 2027, with all deliverables—including inspection reports, capacity calculations, field notes, sketches, and color photographs of damage—becoming the exclusive property of Transport Canada. The contract is awarded on a lump sum firm price basis, payable only upon full completion of the work, with invoices subject to strict documentation requirements including time sheets, expenditure receipts, progress reports, and tax registration details. Payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of a conforming invoice. The solicitation is governed by the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement and the Policy on Reciprocal Procurement, limiting eligibility to Canadian suppliers and suppliers from applicable trading partners. Bidders must comply with Canada’s Code of Conduct for Procurement, anti-forced labor requirements, international sanctions, and environmental disclosures related to greenhouse gas emissions and net-zero commitments by 2050. Offers must be submitted in three distinct sections—technical, financial, and administrative forms—by August 5, 2026, and remain valid for 60 days post-deadline. Evaluation is based on a 70% technical score and 30% financial score, with mandatory technical criteria acting as pass/fail gates; failure to meet any mandatory requirement results in non-compliance. Technical proposals must demonstrate clarity, completeness, and alignment with the Annex Statement of Work, while financial proposals must be submitted in Canadian dollars and include all costs except applicable taxes. The contractor assumes full responsibility for insurance, legal compliance, and data security, including safeguarding confidential information and ensuring ownership of all deliverables transfers to Transport Canada. The contractor must also maintain accurate records of estimated and actual costs and comply continuously with all certifications provided
