Proponents are allowed to inspect the site where the Project will be constructed by individual site investigation. Site investigation provides Proponents with the opportunity to personally review the site where the Project will be constructed and to satisfy themselves as to the technical aspect of the Project.
Proponents are allowed to investigate the site on their own. Site investigation will be arranged according to the following protocols:
• Proponents will request access to the site for site investigation through Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation (if owned by the department) or the SIO (if owned by the SIO).
• Proponents are allowed to conduct site investigation up until the deadline of the RFP.
• Proponents are allowed to visit the site more than once for site investigation. Nonetheless, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation or SIO reserves the right to limit the number of site visits to ensure fairness of the process.
• Proponents are required to enter into an agreement with Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation or the SIO specifically for the site investigation. The agreement must be executed prior to granting access to the site to Proponents. The terms and conditions should be identified in the RFP
• Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation or the SIO will endeavour to accommodate the date/time of preference for Proponents to access the site.
• Proponents are required to report any accidents that have occurred during their site investigation.
