To execute the work described in the plan (Figure 1) project
number R.013202.016 dated 15 Aug 08 and specification number
R.013202.016 dated 2008-09-05 which forms part of the Invitation
to Tender, by supplying all necessary tools, plant, services,
materials and labour in a careful and workmanlike manner.

The Work consists of:
Contractor will remove bird guano on the two towers of the
Burlington Lift Bridge in Burlington, Ontario. The work will be
conducted in the open space, below the machine rooms on both
towers, extended to just below the high voltage wire raceway and
the catwalk but will also include the vertical surfaces of the
side walls protecting this area and any surfaces within this
described area.

Work at site will involve contact with:
Lead in paint.
Guano on majority of surfaces in work area

Work will be conducted at significant heights and over traffic
areas and therefore fall protection
equipment must be used at all times within the work area. Some
areas requiring work may involve suspension over large open
areas. Work will be conducted in the vicinity of high
voltage wires. Some work in this area may have to be conducted
after the power to these cables has been locked out by the
contractor after consultation with the Bridge Operator. Power
lockouts will affect bridge operation, traffic lights,
navigation lights, bridge span lights,
elevators and power to the Towers. Locking out of power, if
required, must be limited to agreed upon conditions with the
Bridge Operator.

After the guano has been effectively remediated, anti-roosting
devices will be applied to some of
the horizontal areas and the high voltage cable raceway to
prevent this contamination from
occurring again.

Approximate dimensions of areas to be remediated:
12 Joists (9 metres)
2 Beams (9 metres)
2 Beams (15 metres)
Cross brace members on three sides (0.6 x 15 x 1 metres)
Catwalk with railing (25 metres x 1 metre)
3 Horizontal Sections of OWSJ Bracing (6 x 5 x 1 metres)
Floor Deck (5 x 15 metres)
Vertical Ladder (3 x 1 metre)
High voltage cable raceway (15 x 2 metres)
OPTIONAL SITE VISIT

such that the Department considers attendance at the optional

should meet the Department Representative and the Contracting
Authority at the base of the South tower of the bridge which is

Bidders are requested to communicate with the Contracting
Authority 2 days before the scheduled visit to confirm
attendance and provide the name(s) of the person(s) who will
attend. Bidders may be requested to sign an attendance form.

from submitting a bid. Any clarifications or changes to the bid
solicitation resulting from the site visit will be included as
an amendment to the bid solicitation.
