Mandatory Site Visit

It is mandatory that the bidder attends the site visit at the designated date and time. At least one representative from proponents that intend to bid must attend.

The site visits will be held July 2nd , 2011 and July 4th  , 2013.  Meet Mr. Bill Dean at 10:00 a.m., at the National Research Council, Plant Biology Institute, 110 Gymnasium Road, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to attend one of the site visits.

Bidders who, for any reason, cannot attend at the specified date and time will not be given an alternative appointment to view the site and their tenders, therefore, will be considered as non-responsive.  NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.

As proof of attendance, at the site visit, the Contracting Authority will have an Attendance Form which MUST be signed by the bidder’s representative.  It is the responsibility of all bidders to ensure they have signed the Mandatory Site Visit Attendance form prior to leaving the site.  Proposals submitted by bidders who have not attended the site visit or failed to sign the Attendance Form will be deemed non-responsive
