Thirty (30) Stonex S900A New with IMU and UHF GNSS Receivers and Accessories, RCMP K Division Traffic Services Collision Reconstruction Unit, Spruce Grove, Alberta

Description: The RCMP “K” Division requires the supply and delivery of Thirty (30) “Stonex S900A New” Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Receivers with an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Ultra-High Frequency Radio (UHF) and accessories, with an option to purchase up to Twenty (20) Additional units within a Thirty-Six (36) month period following contract award.

The GNSS receivers are the replacement equipment to evergreen (end of life replacement) of the K Division Traffic Services Collision Reconstruction unit’s GNSS Receiver fleet inventory. This equipment is used for measuring serious collision scenes, as well as for high-profile investigations, to create accurate scale diagrams of the incidents. They are used as the primary method of accurately measuring the aforementioned matters in an accurate and highly efficient manner, and are used in almost every investigation a collision reconstructionist responds to, which is approximately 400 times per year. There are no other investigative units, within the province of Alberta, that have the mandate to accurately measure and process these High profile / High public awareness investigations in an effective, efficient and accurate manner.

The RCMP’s Collision Reconstruction Unit provides forensic support to operational units across Alberta to assist in determining the series of events and causal factors related to serious collisions; as well as provide specialty assistance in other high-profile/serious investigations. To complete this work members rely on highly accurate measurements obtained at collision/crime scenes, where the scope of accuracy can only be accomplished with the use of various survey and measurement instruments.

All Collision Analysts and Reconstructionists in the province are trained in the use of various measurement tools that includes the use of GNSS receivers in a base/rover real-time kinematic (RTK) configuration. Due to the vast coverage areas as well as varying terrain and weather conditions, most incidents are attended by a single Reconstructionist. This entails that any survey equipment utilized at the scenes also be capable of single person operation with highly efficient data processing both in the field and in the office.

Delivery Date: The deliverables of the initial order of hardware and software should be received on or before March 31, 2021.

The Contracting Authority may exercise the options within Thirty-Six (36) months after contract award by sending a written notice to the Contractor.
