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.
