Natural Resources Canada extended yesterday the deadline for submittals to the Request for Response Evaluation on the government’s procurement to manage Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s nuclear laboratories. The extension adds an additional month to the already extended RFRE end-date. The final response intake date is now Jan. 5, 2014, with a Jan. 30, 2015 closing date for the RFRE. The original closing date of Dec. 22, 2014 was itself an extension from a September deadline. According to Natural Resources Canada, the additional time was needed to allow the Government to continue to engage with industry on the procurement.
The Canadian government’s procurement for a contract to manage Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s nuclear laboratories, including the Chalk River Laboratories, the Whiteshell Laboratories, the three prototype reactor sites and the Laprade heavy water storage site under a Government-owned Contractor-operated (GoCo) model is still in the Request for Response Evaluation phase. Four teams have been announced to have qualified for the RFP stage of the procurement. The teams include: Canadian Nuclear Revitalization Partners, made up of Bechtel, Hatch Ltd. Golder Associates; Innovation Canada Alliance, made up of B&W, Battelle, and the U.K. firm Cavendish Nuclear; Canadian Nuclear Energy Alliance, made up of EnergySolutions, CH2M Hill, Lockheed Martin and SNC Lavalin; and Northern Nuclear Laboratories Alliance, which is made up of URS and Ontario Power Generation.
