- Master Agreement

1. Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting consulting firms with Architectural or Engineering expertise to submit proposals for Standing Offers. The selected consultants shall provide a range of services as identified in the Required Services section of this document for building projects in the National Capital Area. 2. Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practise in the province of Quebec Ontario. If a Proponent is licensed to practise in only one of the two provinces, then that Proponent must be eligible and willing to be licensed in the province in which they are not licensed. Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years. In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the provision of the services. 3. It is PWGSC's intention to authorize up to five (5) Standing Offers, each for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuing the Standing Offers. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $15,000,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $1,500,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included). Proponents should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offers will be called-up; PWGSC will issue call ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed. Please refer to Section SP5, CALL-UP PROCEDURE. 4.This procurement is subject to the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) World Trade Organization - Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP) and Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
