Status Report on Major Crown Projects

Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels

Description

The Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels (MSPV) project will acquire up to 9 Mid-Shore Patrol Vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet - five of the nine MSPV will be used primarily to support the Conservation and Protection Program in the Maritimes, Quebec and Pacific Regions. The other four vessels will be used in a joint program with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to enhance maritime security along the Great Lakes – St. Lawrence Seaway system. This project serves two purposes:

  • Fleet Renewal - the acquisition of conservation and Protecction patrol vessels represents the first step in modernization of the CCG fleet and will ensure the integrity of the fishery monitoring program and will provide the capacity for DFO to support the strategic role in fisheries enforcement; and
  • Maritime Security - the acquisition of MSPV for Maritime Security will allow CCG, in conjunction with the RCMP, to respond to the Government's commitment to enhance the security of the nation's coasts and waterways.

Project Phase

The MSPV Project is currently in the Implementation phase.

Project Outcomes

The MSPV project supports the Fleet Renewal Objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

No specific outcomes other than project milestones had been developed for the MSPV project. The Major Crown Projects Directorate of CCG is currently working on the development of a Performance Measurement Framework for 2011-12 in line with changes being undertaken to the DFO Program Activity Architecture and Management, Resources and Results Structure.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

CCG had originally planned to procure 12 new Mid-Shore patrol vessels. Following the cancellation of two Requests for Proposal solicitations in 2007 and 2008, CCG successfully issued a third RFP in March 2009. In September 2009, a contract was awarded to Irving Shipbuilding Inc. for the procurement of 9 MSPVs, all that could be maintained within the funding envelope. To meet program requirements, vessel life extensions will be undertaken on 3 existing vessels.

All 2009-10 objectives for the MSPV project were achieved.

Detailed vessel specification and vessel baseline is nearing completion and fabrication of the first of the 9 MSPVs is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2010-11.

Industrial Benefits

Canadian industry will benefit from this project. The RFP requires overall Industrial Benefits equal to 100% of contract value. Regional allocation of industrial benefits is monitored by Industry Canada.

Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels

Description

The Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels (OFSV) project will acquire three OFSV for the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) Fleet. The OFSV will replace three aging Coast Guard ships on the east and west coasts of Canada that provide a platform from which critical scientific research and ecosystem-based management can be performed.

Project Phase

The OFSV Project is currently in the design phase.

Leading and Participating Departments and Agencies
Lead Department Canadian Coast Guard, Department of Fisheries and Oceans
Contracting Authority Public Works and Government Services Canada
Participating Departments Industry Canada; Treasury Board Secretariat; Privy Council Office; Indian and Northern Affairs Canada; Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency; Western Economic Diversification Canada; Canadian Economic Development; Finance Canada.

Project Outcomes

The OFSV project supports the Fleet Renewal Objectives of the Canadian Coast Guard.

No specific outcomes other than project milestones had been developed for the OFSV project. The Major Crown Projects Directorate of CCG is currently working on the development of a Performance Measurement Framework for 2011-12 in line with changes being undertaken to the DFO Program Activity Architecture and Management, Resources and Results Structure.

Progress Report and Explanations of Variances

During 2009-10, the concept design work was finalized and associated Design Instructions and Guidance were developed.

The spring 2009 decision to move from a one stage contract process to a two-stage Design then Build process delayed the OFSV contract award expected for 2009-10. This approach was adopted to increase project management efficiencies within the approved funding envelope and consists of contracting the development of a design with associated construction specifications and cost estimate, then using this information as the basis to advance into the construction contract phase. The design contract is now expected to be awarded in 2010-11.

The OFSV is currently in the design phase. Project milestones have been revised and all vessels are expected to be delivered by 2015.

Industrial Benefits

Canadian industry will benefit from this project. Regional distribution will be determined at contract award.
