LNG Canada announced that it has notified two of its four potential engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors that they have been shortlisted for the company’s proposed LNG export facility in Kitimat, British Columbia.
LNG Canada will choose the preferred EPC contractor during 2018. Negotiations will be held with the two EPC contractors to determine the most commercially competitive proposal.
LNG Canada informed the partnership of TechnipFMC plc and KBR, and the partnership of JGC Corporation and Fluor Corporation, for the construction of the LNG facility in Canada.
LNG Canada delayed the decision in 2016 to identify a preferred EPC contractor for the LNG Canada project on a lump sum basis. LNG Canada prequalified four EPC consortia based on several criteria, such as prior experience in LNG design and modularization, track record of project completion, and experience with construction in Western Canada.
“LNG Canada’s proposal evaluation criteria included health and safety management, financial strength, technical design, execution plans, contract price and schedule. The proposers also committed to living up to LNG Canada’s values and the commitments it has made to local communities, First Nations, as well as the company’s high standards of social and environmental performance,” LNG Canada said in a statement.
