    Description

    This ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada intends to award a service contract to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a Statement of Capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in this ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.

    REQUIREMENT :

    The Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Agassiz, BC requires building control programming and software and hardware maintenance to a Delta OrcaView Control System, Version 3.33 on an ‘as and when required basis.

    The contractor will provide the following services to the Building Control Equipment which operates Boilers, Chiller Pumps, Air Handling Units, Pumps with speed drives, Heat Pumps and VAU Boxes, and Fan Coil Units.:

    1. 8 HOUR SCHEDULED SERVICES to include

    PRE-IDENTIFIED SUPPLIER :

    ESC Automation Inc.

    17850 - 56th Avenue

    SURREY BC V3S 1C7

    CONTRACT PERIOD :

    The contract will be for a four (4) year period from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2022.

    ESTIMATED VALUE :  $ 60,000.00 (plus applicable taxes)

    SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION :

    With the building control software being proprietary only one firm is capable of performing the contract without replacing the current software package and then reprogramming the building controls to integrate with the replacement software. This would be extremely disruptive to building operations and considerable more costly than continuing with the current supplier. The time requirement on the part of the AAFC facility maintenance staff alone to support a reconfiguration of replacement software would be extremely onerous.

    SUBMISSION OF STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES CLOSING DATE AND TIME :

    The closing date and time for accepting Statement of Capabilities is November 22, 2018 @ 2:00 pm CST

    Suppliers who consider themselves fully qualified and available to provide the goods, services or construction services described in the ACAN, may submit a statement of capabilities in writing to the contact person identified in this notice on or before the closing date of this notice. The statement of capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the advertised requirements.

    ACAN NOTICE :

    You are hereby notified that the government intends to negotiate with one firm only as identified above. Should you have any questions concerning this requirement, contact the Contracting Authority.

    An Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) allows departments and agencies to post a notice, for no less than fifteen (15) calendar days, indicating to the supplier community that it intends to award a good, service or construction contract to a pre-identified contractor.

However, should a Statement of Capabilities be found to meet the requirements set out in the ACAN, then the Contracting Authority will proceed to a full tendering process.
