AMENDMENT NO.1
The purpose of this amendment is to issue Addendum No.1 which answers bidders questions and modifies this Request for Proposal and to add attachments 1 to 8 inclusive.
Project Title: Update of Safety Code 6 Guidelines and Technical Bulletins
Description of Work:
The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) has published two Technical Bulletins (TB) based on the 2009 version of Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 (SC6):
TB 2008-3, Recommendations and Safe Practices for Working around RF Emitting Antennas on Vessels
TB 2008-2, Recommendations and Safe Practices for Working around RF Emitting Antennas at Shore Based Installations
The two CCG TBs state the safe distances, called Minimum Compliant Distances (MCD) for typical electronic communication and radar systems used by the CCG on its vessels and on its shore-based sites. According to these TBs, the MCD is the distance outside which a person can remain continuously, over a regular eight hour workday, and not exceed the limits of SC6.
There are 2 types of MCDs and they were based on the 2009 SC6: The MCDs based on the limits for "Controlled Environments" are intended for "CCG RF workers" whereas the MCDs based on the limits for "Uncontrolled Environments" are intended for fence requirements to protect the "general public".
Since it is difficult to theoretically calculate the RF levels (electric and/or magnetic fields) in the near-field area, a Contractor has visited some typical CCG vessels (between 2006 and 2009) and some typical CCG shore-based sites (in 2009). The Contractor then used electronic probes to measure the actual RF levels and determine the MCD and fence requirements for each system. Such RF measurements are referred to as "Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) surveys"
The Contractor must deliver:
1. Two PowerPoint presentations (English and French versions) on general 2015 SC6 guidelines.
2. An updated version of CCG Technical Bulletin 2008-3 (English and French side by side) titled "Recommendations and Safe Practices for Working around RF Emitting Antennas on vessels", according to the new rules of the 2015 SC6.
3. An updated version of CCG Technical Bulletin 2008-2 (English and French side by side) titled "Recommendations and Safe Practices for Working around RF Emitting Antennas at Shore Based Installations", according to the new rules of the 2015 SC6;
Period of Contract: Date of award to December 31, 2021
Security Requirements: There are no Security Requirements associated with this requirement.
