Professional Services in Environmental Impact Assessment and Ecological Services

BACKGROUND

The National Capital Commission (NCC) is a federal Crown corporation created by Canada’s Parliament in 1959 under the National Capital Act. Building on more than a century of experience, the NCC provides unique value in the Capital Region by fulfilling three specific roles: long-term planner of federal lands, principal steward of nationally significant public places, and creative partner committed to excellence in development and conservation.

INTENT

The NCC will retain the services of consulting firms to provide Professional Services in Environmental Impact Assessment and Ecological Services on an "as and when requested" basis under a Standing Offer Agreement (SOA). Projects completed under the SOA will be at various locations on NCC lands located within the National Capital Region in Ontario and Québec. 

All successful consultants must enter into a formal NCC SOA. Once awarded, these SOAs will serve as the instrument against which individual call-ups can be made (on a project by project basis). The NCC will award a maximum of eight SOAs. The SOAs will be active either for four years (from the date of award) or until total expenditure level is attained, whichever comes first. The SOA holder grants the NCC the irrevocable option to extend the term of the SOA by two (2) additional one-year period(s) at the same terms and conditions.
