Advance Procurement Notice
A/B Jetty Replacement - Jetty Crane Procurement
CFB Esquimalt, British Columbia
(with Security Requirements)

Purpose of this Advance Procurement Notice
This is not a bid solicitation.  This is an advance notice of a potential project with anticipated security requirements to provide interested contractors an opportunity to apply for security clearances. Note that there is no guarantee that this project will proceed.

Description of the Project
The Department of National Defence is currently in the process of replacing two of the warship berthing facilities at the naval Dockyard located at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt in British Columbia. These jetties, known as “A” Jetty and “B” Jetty, are to be replaced by new jetty structures that will each require a new rail-mounted portal crane for Shipyard Operations to support future ship maintenance and operations.

Description of the Services
A contractor is required to provide, deliver, install and commission a new portal crane for each location (i.e., one crane for A Jetty and one crane for B Jetty). In addition, the contractor will be required to install power connections for the new jetty cranes, provide onsite demonstration and training to the users, and maintain and service the cranes after installation for up to 10 years. The project is estimated to be in the order of $30,000,000 for both cranes. It is anticipated that this procurement will be initiated in the Fall of 2023. This is conditional on DCC receiving approval to proceed by the DND.
