Title: Way Ahead
1Implementation of a National Shipbuilding
Procurement Strategy Steve Durrell President ,
Irving Shipbuilding Inc. COExThe Road Map to A
Sustainable Industry
2Brief History
- Due to over capacity in the Mid 80s Government
introduced Shipyard Rationalization Assistance - Shipyards Closed in
- British Columbia
- Ontario
- Quebec
- Atlantic

4Shipyard Capacity
- Today our industry is only sustainable if we have
a federal program - Canada can not afford any further reduction if we
are to meet pent-up demand - Contracts are required immediately to maintain
current capacity
Company Confidential
5Overview
- Existing Marine procurement for fleet renewal
requirements contains high risk elements, it is
very complex, time consuming and expensive for
both Government and Industry. - Stakeholders recognize the need for change given
significant government shipbuilding requirements
and the need to ensure capable and qualified
Canadian shipyards have continuous work in order
to maintain a strategic asset. - Our proposal was submitted in response to the
July 27, 2009 National Shipbuilding Procurement
Strategy Consultations. Most Western nations
have chosen a model similar to our submission.

6Future For Canadas Shipyards
- Majority of work will be Government
- Some commercial in booming markets this market is
not predictable. - Perhaps some niche markets
- Lake Vessels
- Provincial ferries and tugs

7Continuous Procurement (New Builds) Essential to
Maintain Ongoing Viable Industry
- History of the Boom/Bust industry
- Canadian Patrol Frigate (CPF)contract signed
1983 - Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel (MCDV) contract
signed 1992 - Next Navy MCP new build contract ?
Company Confidential
8Government New Build Solicitations
- Cost of bidding is very high and the time from
Request for Proposal (RFP) to contract award is
exceptionally long - CPF 7 years from expression of interest to
contract - Bid cost 20Million
- MCDV 4 years from expression of interest to
contract - Bid cost 8Million
- JSS solicitation suspended project exceeds
budget - million spent - MSPV bid 3 times before award
- Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships (AOPS) Awaiting
communication.

9National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (NSPS)
Consultations were held with Industry on July
27th 28th, 2009
Company Confidential
10Some of the Assumptions (or Objectives) of the
NSPS
- Federal Ships will be built in Canada
- The Finite Federal demand will be over a 30 year
horizon - Limited number of yards would be involved
- Government ship operators will level-load the
requirements (No Boom Bust)
Company Confidential
11National Shipbuilding Procurement Strategy (the
Road Map)
- Establish two (2) Centres of Excellence (COEx)
for fleet renewal Major Crown Projects (MCP)
through a competitive qualification process. - One COEx would be qualified for medium, complex
combatant vessel capability. - One COEx would be qualified for large, complex,
non-combatant vessel capability.

12FAQs
- What is the competitive Process?
- What is the Contracting Process?
- What do other western countries do?
- How is value for money achieved?
- What are the benefits of a COEx approach?
- What about the SMEs and small yards?
- What is the Irving and Davie deal about?
Company Confidential
13Competitive Process
- Utilize the proven and successful Procurement
Strategy, recently used on other Major Marine
Procurements prepared in collaboration with
Industry - Competitive Solicitation of Interest and
Qualification Process (SOI-Q) on MERX - Compete Capability not Scope of Work
- Utilize Appropriate (risk reducing) Qualification
Criteria - Adequate existing facilities
- Qualified resources skilled labour
- Management strength and experience
- Financial strength
- Recent proven experience in ship construction
- Past performance
Company Confidential
14Contracting Procedures
- Award a Contract to the 2 Facilities emerging
from the SOI-Q process - Utilize (Shipbuilding) Supply Arrangements (SSA)
as basis for contracts that ensure Best Value. - Negotiate contracts by particularized project.
- Build incentives into the projects, reward
performance and share savings with Canada.
Company Confidential
15How do other Western Countries do this?
- The COEx model of contracting is similar to other
countries - U.S.A.
- U.K
- France
- Australia
Company Confidential
16Value for Money
- SSA would use contract cost principles 1031-2 and
include contracting templates to ensure fair
value utilizing - Annual Rate Negotiations
- Contract Audits For Profit Limitation
- Earned Value Performance Measurement
- Continuous Improvement Incentives Through Shared
Risk - Integrated Project Management Teams
- Use contract incentives for continued incremental
infrastructure investment

17Benefits of a COEx approach
- Canada can preserve Sovereign Capability and
Maintain shipbuilding as a Strategic Asset for
Canada - Provide a steady work load into the future (30
Years) - Retain and develop high value jobs with subject
matter expertise - Provide stable facilities for the cost effective
delivery of all MCPs - Allow for incremental investment to keep pace
with a world wide industry - Reduce industries cost of proposals, more money
for facility investment and HR development

18Benefits of a COEx approach (continued)
- Provide the basis for a long term shipbuilding
industrial strategy - Expedite the government procurement process,
while respecting contract policy - Provide earlier delivery of vessels
- Reduce Canada's Project Management Office level
of effort - Reduce Canada's costs in the project definition
and implementation phases - More available for the ship and project
deliverables - Reduce risk to the program, the Contractor, and
to Canada
