Renovation of a communication facility in St. John's, Newfoundland. Completed plans call for the renovation of a communication facility.

Closing Time: 3:30 PM (NT) The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) requires a Contractor to perform design and installation of a freestanding radome tower, along with integration of the new satellite antenna system. This will be performed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada facility at 308 Brookfield Road, St. Johns NL, A1E 0B2. The self-supported tower must be designed by a professional Engineer licensed in good standing in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to incorporate the new antenna system. To determine the tower location, a survey of the surrounding terrain must be conducted by the Contractor, at the 66% design review presenting geotechnical consideration, siting and environmental consideration. The geotechnical survey must be completed to the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual standards (latest edition), along with any local and provincial codes/mandates. The antenna vendor will deliver the antenna system with electrical certification to CSA 22.2 standards. The Contractor must provide power, trenching and conduit to a mounting platform for the antenna pedestal. This installation must meet all provincial and federal requirements and be inspected by authorities having jurisdiction. The tower must be tall enough to have the center of the antenna at 10m above the plane of the driveway. Once the location of the tower is determined, the exact height of the tower (from foundation to base of antenna) can be determined. The tower must be able to support the structural loads of the 2.4 m dish antenna listed in Table 2 and the 4.3 m Radome listed in Table 3 of Appendix A. The Contractor must secure the tower access with fences or any locked mechanism appropriate for the design and location where the tower will be installed. The security fence must be ~2.5 m tall with barbed wire on top and fit a radius that is at least 3 m wider than the Radome were it siting at ground level. The Contractor must install a gravel pedestrian walkway coming from the north-west facing door of the ops building to the access at the base of the tower. The Contractor must perform and complete the Work by May 30, 2025.
