Defence Construction Canada (DCC) invites general contractors to express their interest in providing all labour, materials, and equipment necessary to build a new 25KV underground high voltage power line replacement from DND-owned, existing substation (SUB-STN B651) on the base side of 4 Wing to both the TAC side and the Airfield. This Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) is the first step of a two-step solicitation process, the second step being the Tender Phase. Only the general contractors who will have responded to this RFEOI will be invited to submit a bid during the Tender Phase. The Defence of Canada Fighter Infrastructure (DCFI) Power Grid Modernization project is to construct a new 25KV underground High Voltage power line on the base side of 4 Wing to both the TAC side and the Airfield. The project is divided into four phases, however, only the first two phases are planned to advance currently to support FFCP/DCFI: Phase 1 (basis of award): Main high voltage electrical distribution system from the existing Atco east substation to a new east switching station, through the existing switching station to the new west switching station. Concrete encased duct bank throughout. Phase 2 (basis of award): New high voltage distribution system to the QRA, Waterleap area, TAC ramp, Hangarettes, and FSF tying into the phase 1 distribution system. Upgrade all distribution equipment for multiple buildings (approx. 13) throughout the base. Concrete encased duct bank throughout. High voltage feeds from phase 1 to the water/wastewater area Waterleap area connections to buildings Phase 3 (future anticipated planned change order): Second Atco substation installation on the west side of base c/w overhead power lines to the west switching station. Construct a new 25KV underground High Voltage power line from DND-owned substation B651 on the base side of 4 Wing to both the TAC side and the Airfield Phase 4 (future anticipated planned change order): Upgrade lighting throughout the Base- Medley, TAC, Waterleap, Kingsway, west switch station area The Rough Order Magnitude estimate for this Contract is $87,500.000.00. The Rough Order Magnitude estimate, including all future anticipated planned change orders (Phases 3 & 4), is $101,200,000.00 (Current Year $).
