LETTER OF INTEREST - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

SOLICITATION NUMBER K1A12-139060/A

This Request for Information is for:  Environment Canada (EC)

Nature of Request for Information
The intent of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit
feedback from Industry on all aspects detailed in the draft
Statement of Work (SOW). 

Overview
The Government of Canada has a requirement to modernize the
integrated energy, emissions economy simulation model.  This
modernization focuses on several key elements:

a)	Acquisition of a 10-province and 3-territory Canadian dynamic
macroeconomic model with foreign/regional linkages and that is
fully aligned with Statistics Canada's Canadian National System
of Accounts -2012.
b)	Full and dynamic integration of the new macroeconomic model
(10-province and 3-territory) to create a new Canadian ENERGY
2020-macroeconomic model (E3MC).
c)	Acquisition of a US open economy dynamic macroeconomic model
with an appropriate level of regional disaggregation that can be
fully integrated with the US Energy 2020 model to create a US
ENERGY 2020-macroeconomic model (E3US).    Full and dynamic
integration of the E3MC to E3US to create a North American
integrated energy, emissions and economy model (i.e., a US
Canadian ENERGY 2020-macroeconomic model).

As such, this requirement would involve the acquisition of a
Canadian and US dynamic macroeconomic model which then would be
linked the ENERGY 2020 (Environment Canada's in-house energy
model) to create an integrated energy, emissions and economy
model that could be run in various regional levels (i.e., as
North American model, as a Canada or US model or as stand-alone
provincial/territorial or US regional/state model).
