Q5. Can the City please clarify if the Bidders can utilize sub-consultants in order to comply

with the following required qualifications listed in Section 6.7 Bidder Qualifications:

1 of 10

mailto:[email protected]

o Visual Inspectors must have a minimum Level II, CSA Standard W178.2

o Ultrasonic testing personnel must be certified under CAN/CGSB 48.9712-
