Description
Trade Agreement: CETA / WTO-AGP / NAFTA / CFTA / FTAs with Peru / Colombia / Panama / Korea Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: ESAP (Mechanical & Electrical Industrial Engineering) - RFSO Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is inviting consulting firms with Mechanical and Electrical Industrial Engineering expertise to submit proposals for a Standing Offer to support PWGSC Energy Service Acquisition Program (ESAP). To be considered, the firm shall have extensive experience in district energy systems and use of sustainable fuels. The selected consultant shall provide a range of services as identified in the Required Services section of this document for industrial projects in the National Capital Area (NCA). ESAP is a PWGSC initiative to modernize PWGSC heating and cooling infrastructure within the NCA. PWGSC operates six central heating and/or cooling (CHCP) plants that serve over 80 buildings within the NCA. Five heating plants operate on high pressure steam and one operates on high temperature hot water. Based on a review of best practices and on technical and economic analysis of central heating systems worldwide, it is clear that the government can achieve greater efficiency, savings for taxpayers and a greener more sustainable solution through modernization and converting all of the heating systems to low temperature hot water. The Energy Service Acquisition Program (ESAP) will use a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Maintain contract that will involve a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). In anticipation of conversion of all the central heating plants and distribution systems to low temperature hot water, PWGSC is now in the process of preparation of converting the buildings connected to these systems. Cooling technology and medium will likely remain unchanged except for life cycle equipment replacement and that chillers must be changed from steam driven to electrical and to eliminate chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants in consideration of the Montreal Protocol. The selected Consultants should be familiar with best practices in district heating and cooling and potential innovations that will facilitate improved financial, energy efficiency and environmental performance. The Consultant shall have experience in sustainable fuels including biomass and renewable fuel oil(s). PWGSC has initiated pilot projects in use of such fuels. ESAP stage 2 "Deeper Greening", which is in the planning stage will examine further the use of sustainable fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proponents shall be licensed or eligible to be licensed to practise in the province of Quebec and Ontario. If a Proponent is licensed to practise in only one of the two provinces, then that Proponent must be eligible and willing to be licensed in the province in which they are not licensed. Firms should be able to demonstrate successful delivery of these services for a broad variety of projects over the last five (5) years. In general, the firm and its personnel will be evaluated on the basis of their demonstrated understanding of the scope of services, their approach and methodology to providing those services, the quality of their relevant experience in this area, as well as the cost of the provision of the services. It is PWGSC's intention to authorize a single Standing Offer, for a period of four (4) years from the date of issuing the Standing Offer with two (2) optional periods of one (1) years each. The total dollar value of all Standing Offers is estimated to be $8,000,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included). Individual call-ups will vary, up to a maximum of $1,500,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included). Proponents should note that there is no guarantee that the full or any amount of the Standing Offer will be called-up; PWGSC will issue call-ups only when the specific services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed. Please refer to Section SP5, CALL-UP PROCEDURE. Consulting firms that consider themselves qualified to provide these services may order the Request for Standing Offer document from the Government of Canada Electronic Tendering Services through MERX. Late submissions will not be considered. 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.
