distribution on the actual day of tender closing.
2. MANDATORY SITE VISIT
It is mandatory that the bidder attends one of the site visits at the designated date and time. At

* Due to COVID-19, we are taking additional measures to protect you and our employees at the
site visits.
- At the site visit, to limit contact and risks:
o The proponents will sanitize their hands at the hand sanitizing station.
o The proponents will be asked to sign the Attendance Form. It is the responsibility of
all proponents to verify information on the Attendance Form.
o The site visits could take longer than usual, therefore anticipate a longer meeting
duration.
o Physical distancing: keeping a distance of at least 2 arms-length (approximately 2
metres) from others may not be possible at all times, therefore the use of NRC issued
disposable face coverings to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is
mandatory.
o The proponents shall not impede safe access to and from the facility.
- Proposals submitted by bidders who have not attended the site visit or failed to submit their
identification and contact information at the site visit will be deemed non-responsive.
