SA- Bathymetric Surveys

Public Services and Procurement Canada requires the provision of Bathymetric Survey services for projects in the following locations in Newfoundland & Labrador, the Arctic, Maritimes & Quebec, Saint Lawrence and the Great Lakes, and the Pacific. As final service delivery locations are undetermined at this stage, but may be for surveys on Canada’s navigable waters in areas subject to Comprehensive Land Claims Agreements (CLCAs), CLCAs may apply to the individual task requisitions. If a task requisition is for service delivery in location subject to CLCAs, this specific task requisition will be subject to the applicable CLCA and may include bid evaluation criteria such as:
- The existence of head offices, administrative offices or other facilities in a CLCA area;
- The employment of CLCA beneficiary labour; engagement of CLCA beneficiary professional services, or use of suppliers that are beneficiaries or beneficiary firms in carrying out the contract; or
- The undertaking of commitments, under the contract, with respect to on-the job training or skills development for CLCA beneficiaries
