    AMENDMENT 003 CONTAINS RELEVANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF THE SOLICITATION'S CLOSING DATE AND CHANGES TO MANDATORY CRITERIA M.1, SUB-ARTICLE 4.1.1.1 
    
    Public Services and Procurement Canada on behalf of Library and Archives Canada is seeking the services of a Contractor to design and build an exhibition on the subject of Canada’s Prime Ministers.
    
    
    Showcasing a mix of original material and reproductions, the exhibition must display examples drawn from across LAC’s collection, including published materials, art, photography, audiovisual, ephemera, and textual records. Contents must aim to be as representative as possible of Canada’s regions and peoples, and present material related to all 23 Prime Ministers. A special area of focus is the Prime Ministers’ book collections; LAC will not only draw on its own significant holdings in this area, but may also seek loans from other institutions as well as private individuals such as former PMs and/or their families.
    
    
    The exhibition must be displayed in three adjacent areas: a closed room (Room C) and a sunken lobby of approximately 3,500 sq. ft. each, and the wall adjacent to the lobby running approximately 78 linear ft. It is anticipated that the exhibition will include up to 20 original items for display in Room C and 50 reproduction images of LAC’s collection material for display in the lobby. While some originals will be shown for the entire duration of the exhibition, rotation of specific material is anticipated.
    
    
    The spaces available for the exhibition are non-conventional. Their layout, location and associated restrictions require creative design solutions. Based on a defined curatorial approach, the Contractor must develop an original and dynamic design concept threading together all three exhibition areas. The requirements include, but are not limited to, the design and fabrication of free-standing structures, furniture, audiovisual equipment, graphics treatment and supports, etc. The sunken lobby affords no anchoring possibilities for stability—all structures must be free-standing. Room C offers the opportunity to anchor in the floor and to the wall as of 8 to 13 ft. LAC has an inventory of exhibition-quality showcases available for the presentation of original material. (LAC also owns a few interactive tools such as iPads.)
    
    
    Two optional services: 
    - Traveling Exhibition
    - Complete Exhibition Installation
    
    
    The period of the contract will be from award date until March 31, 2019.
    
    
    The requirement is subject to the provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).
    
    
    The requirement is limited to Canadian goods and/or services.
    
    Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
    
    The Crown retains the right to negotiate with suppliers on any procurement.
    
    Documents may be submitted in either official language of Canada.
