RFI 01-2025 Design-Build Services - Supply and Site Integration of four (4) 25kV Floating E-Houses

This Request for Information is for the purposes of gathering information from the marine electrical, steel fabrication, and ship building industry to ascertain the interest and capability to design-build marine electrical and marine structural infrastructure (the “Services”) for the Island Class Terminal Electrification Program (the “Program”). The Program will introduce four (4) rapid-charging facilities on two inter-island routes (Route 19-Nanaimo Harbour-Gabriola Island & Route 23-Campbell River – Quathiaski Cove), allowing the new plug-in hybrid diesel-electric Island Class vessels, currently under construction, to operate in full electric mode. BC Ferries has identified the e-house solution to be an integrated power assembly within a steel pontoon designed for placement in salt water for the entire duration of its design life (“floating e-house”).
