The Nunatsiavut Government is planning to build a new certified airport for the Inuit Community of Nain, NL to replace the existing airport infrastructure that is currently under stress from the effects of climate change. The new site will have a gravel airstrip measuring 5000 ft in length and 100 ft in width, exclusive of the maneuvering areas, with a surface area of approximately 1300 m set aside for future development. The new airport will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to serve the local population during all season and will act as the center for emergency response for the region.
The Nunatsiavut Government is currently seeking proposals for the completion of the R3 Environment Review – Desktop Assessment.
The full detailed scope of work, instructions and requirements for proposals, and any further information on the project can be found on the Nunatsiavut Government Merx posting at www.merx.com
Proposals are to be received no later than 4 pm on March 24, 2022 to Colin Gilbride, Director of Infrastructure and Planning at colin.gilbride@nunatsiavut.com and must be clearly marked: Nunatsiavut Government Nain Airport: R3 Environmental Review – Desktop Study.
