Architectural Services - RCMP Atlantic Region

Notice of Proposed Procurement (NPP)
The RCMP requires the services of Architectural services to provide project planning, facility design, cost estimating, construction supervision, commissioning, technical investigations, and project management. The selected consultants shall provide the range of services identified in the Statement of Work (SOW) section for commissions in the Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. 
The total dollar value of the RFSO has been estimated to $7,500,000.00 with a maximum Call-up amount limit of $3,000,000.00. Under each RFSO, five (5) SOs are to be issued for an initial period of three (3) years each from the date of issuance of the SOs. Options to add up to two (2) additional period of one (1) year each are also included. 
For each individual Call-Up, consultants will be considered using a distribution system. This system will track all call-ups assigned to each consultant and will maintain a running total of the dollar value of business distributed. The system will contain for each consultant an ideal business distribution percentage which has been established as follows; 34% ($2,550,000.00) of the business for the top ranked consultant, 24% ($1,800,000.00) for the 2nd ranked consultant, 19% ($1,425,000.00) for the 3rd ranked consultant, 14% ($1,050,000.00) for the 4th ranked consultant, and 9% ($675,000.00) for the 5th. In the event fewer than five (5) consultants are successful, the undistributed % of business will be redistributed amongst the offerors being recommended using a formula detailed in the RFSO. The Consultant who is furthest under their respective ideal business distribution percentage in relation to the other consultants will be selected for the next call-up.

The Proponent shall be an architect licensed to provide the necessary professional services to the full extent that may be required by provincial or territorial law. If the Proponent is licensed to practice in only one of the provinces then that Proponent must be eligible and willing to be licensed in the province in which they are not licensed.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS : A specific Security Requirements Check List (SRCL) will be issued for each call-up issued against a Standing Offer. A specific security clause will be inserted in section SC 2 Security Requirements to reflect the security requirements for each call-up to be issued against a Standing Offer.
Proponents are hereby informed that call-ups against the Standing Offers will require that the consultants and their personnel providing the services must hold a valid personnel security status at the RELIABILITY level issued by the RCMP.
Inspection of the Consultant’s and sub-Consultants’ offices may be required for physical and Information Technology security. The Consultant and sub-Consultant will follow the security guidance provided by the RCMP after the inspection.
