In this context, "Team A" will provide AES related to initial design phases which incorporate applicable Canadian standards, while "Team B" will provide the AES required to complete final documents to obtain local permits and for construction. Through all phases however, both teams ("Team A" and "Team B") will collaborate with each other, as necessary, with coordination, as needed, from the Departmental Representative and GAC’s Subject Matter Experts (SME) to implement the project.
