Summary:

Through this Request for Proposals, the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) invites Proposals for the design, manufacture, supply and delivery of a flat landing and exit ramp that is required as one component of a wider project the OBWB is coordinating to manufacture a prototype ‘Modular Mussel Eradication Station’ (MMES), that will be used to remove invasive mussels from watercraft at highway inspection stations within Alberta. 

The OBWB’s technical performance specification requirements for the landing and ramp Equipment are provided as part of this RFP document, and are based upon design and performance criteria which have been developed based on the project’s unique needs. Respondents are required to carefully read these technical performance specification requirements, and address each requirement fully in their proposal.  It is anticipated that the Supplier selected as a result of this RFP will be required to perform some design services, prior to the Ramp Equipment being manufactured.

The Supplier selected from this RFP will enter into a supply contract with the OBWB initially.  Later, once the OBWB has identified a final manufacturer of the ‘Modular Mussel Eradication Station’ prototype, the OBWB intends to assign its rights under the supply contract over to that final manufacturer via a ‘novation agreement’.

More details on the requirements are contained in the attached RFP document.
