Parks Canada Agency (PCA) is posting this Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP) to advise industry of three (3) upcoming solicitations. Parks Canada is in the process of consolidating its National Collection of 25 million historical and archaeological artifacts under its care, from four remaining facilities in three cities to a purpose-built facility nearing completion in Gatineau, Quebec. Parks Canada's Historical and Archaeological artifacts are presently stored in warehouses in Winnipeg, Manitoba Quebec City (2 locations), Quebec and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. and will need to be relocated to a new, purpose-built artifact collections facility presently under construction in Gatineau, QC. Upon completion of construction of the new facility, the collection, representing a volume of approximately 4500 m3, will need to be moved from the four facilities to the new facility over an estimated period of 1 1/2 years, from 2025 to 2026. Starting in the fall of 2024, Parks will be posting separate request for proposals (RFPs) for each city that remains to be relocated. Below is a list of cities with facilities and estimated timelines for the RFPs as well as the estimated time frame as to when the first truck will be able to deliver artifacts to the new facility. Park's goal is to provide as much lead time as possible to the successful bidder before the first load can be delivered. This will also allow time to start preparation work (creating swing space, packing, etc.) at the existing facilities.
