E60PQ-140003 - Product Category 2 - Freestanding Height Adjustable Desk

This NPP is issued pursuant to PWGSC Supply Arrangement (SA) # E60PQ-140003/B and covers a requirement from the following Product Category(ies) of the SA:

Product Category 2 - Freestanding Height Adjustable Desk

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) requires the acquisition, delivery, and installation of up to 650 Sit/Stand Range Height Adjustable Work Surfaces to retrofit several CIC buildings. 

The initial contract will cover the purchase and delivery of 450 Freestanding Height Adjustable Desks as well as optional quantity that will be delivered at the Jean Edmonds South Tower building, 365 Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1, on 9 March 2018, at 18:00 hrs. Optional quantity: The Contract Authority will decide at Contract Award, how many extra Sit/Stand Range Height Adjustable Work Surfaces will be required up to a maximum of 200. These additional Sit/Stand Range Height Adjustable Work Surfaces will form part of the original Contract and will also be delivered at the Jean Edmonds South Tower building, 365 Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1, on 9 March 2018, at 18:00 hrs.

The installation of the Freestanding Height Adjustable Desks delivered at the Jean Edmonds South Tower building, 365 Laurier, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1L1, on 9 March 2018, at 18:00 hrs will be done in a phased approach and will not coincide with the delivery date. Installation will be done in different CIC buildings in the National Capital Region at different times. CIC (not the winning bidder) will be responsible to pre-positioned the number of units to be installed at the required location in the NCR. The Procurement Authority will provide the winning bidder the location, the number of Freestanding Height Adjustable Desks to be installed and timing of the installation at least 5 days in advance of the requirement. For planning purpose: a minimum of 40 Freestanding Height Adjustable Desks will be installed at a time. Installation cost for the Freestanding Height Adjustable Desks delivered at 365 Laurier will therefore be a firm unit price and invoices will be submitted separately every time an installation is completed.
