    SUMMARY:
    Through this Request for Pre-Qualification, the Town of Osoyoos (the “Town”) invites organizations that are experienced in the provision of engineering and professional consulting services related to water and wastewater infrastructure, to provide non-binding Submissions for the provision of such services to the Town on an ‘as and when’ needed basis for various water and wastewater related capital projects the Town has in its infrastructure program.  The types of projects and assignments that such services may need to support will vary but examples of anticipated projects are detailed herein.  The total value of capital projects by the Town related to water and wastewater infrastructure over the next several years could exceed $20 million depending on grant funding.
    Further details on the Town’s Water and Wastewater Infrastructure, and the RFQUAL process are provided herein.  Key summary details are as follows:
    • As an outcome from this RFQUAL, the Town will shortlist up to 2 Respondents that will then become ‘Pre-Qualified’ organizations.
    • For all future engineering and professional consulting service assignments required in support of the Town’s water and wastewater infrastructure program, including any Town water or wastewater related projects or assignments which may not be specifically identified in this RFQUAL (collectively referred to herein as the “Assignments”), the Town may at its sole option either:
      • Direct Award contracts to any Pre-Qualified organization, where the Assignment value is below $75,000 or where a direct award situation is justified in accordance with the Town’s policy and trade agreement obligations; or
      • Invite the Pre-Qualified organizations to participate in a ‘by-invitation’ only 2nd-stage RFP process for the specific Assignment; or
      • Conduct a public-Request for Proposals process open to both Pre-Qualified and non-Pre-Qualified organizations, where the specifics of the Assignment warrant a further public process at the sole discretion of the Town.
    • The Pre-Qualification of organizations from this RFQUAL will be valid for a period of 3 years, in accordance with the requirements of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).    No further notices to solicit Submissions for inclusion in the Pre-Qualified list will be issued during the three-year period. 
    • The project delivery model to be used for individual capital projects executed as part of the Town’s water and wastewater infrastructure program, will be determined on a case-by-case basis, and may involve collaborative models such as Construction Management using the Canadian Construction Documents Committee CCDC5B (Construction Management for Services and Construction) method.
    • While individual projects executed as part of the Town’s water and wastewater infrastructure program may require engineering and related services from more than one discipline (e.g. structural, civil, process mechanical), the Town requires the Pre-Qualified organizations from this RFQUAL to cover all identified disciplines (either through in-house services or through sub-consultants).  Additionally, the ‘Lead’ Engineering firm that provides the Submission to this RFQUAL must provide Water and Wastewater Engineering as one of its core disciplines to clients.

    Contract duration

    The estimated contract period will be 36 month(s).
