Introduction: Health Canada is identified as an Expert Support Department with the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP). Part of Health Canada’s roles and responsibilities within FCSAP is to provide public involvement guidance related to contaminated sites to federal departments with custody of contaminated sites throughout Canada.

Aboriginal Peoples are important stakeholders in contaminated sites management. Canada’s Aboriginal community is as varied as it is distinct, featuring a myriad of cultural, political and social factors shaping Aboriginal Peoples’ perspectives. The ability of federal custodial departments to understand Aboriginal cultural, political and social realities and to involve Aboriginal Peoples meaningfully is essential to managing a contaminated site successfully.

The Contractor will develop a public involvement Guidance Document, for use by all federal departments, containing practical information and approaches for effectively involving Aboriginal Peoples in the contaminated sites management process.

The Guidance Document must be based on the “Involving Aboriginal Peoples” training session delivered by Health Canada’s Contaminated Sites Division and complemented by relevant external information and materials.

$ 25,000, including travel and living expenses (if applicable) and all applicable taxes.

Ownership of Intellectual Property:The Crown will own Copyright. The primary purpose of the proposed contract is
to develop a Guidance Document to be delivered publicly. Section 6.4 of the Treasury Board Policy on Title to Intellectual Property Arising Under Crown Procurement Contracts stipulates that the Crown may retain copyright :
6.4 where the main purpose of the Crown Procurement Contract, or of the deliverables contracted for, is :
6.4.1 to generate knowledge and information for public dissemination

Security Requirement:It is a condition that, prior to performance of any obligation under any contract resulting from this RFP, the Contractor and sub-contractors and their employees assigned to the performance of such contract will be security cleared by the federal government at the enhanced reliability level.
