The base Contract is the Sidney Centre for Plant Health laboratory and greenhouse facility for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in Sidney, BC. PWGSC may add incremental Consultant Services to the Contract through Contract option(s). Science Facility laboratories in Sidney, British Columbia and Winnipeg, Manitoba may form part of the overall Contract as determined by the priorities of PWGSC’s LC program. This is a single phase selection process. The nature of the requirement and the anticipated limited number of responses by the industry leads PWGSC to believe that this approach will not unduly force a large number of firms to expend an overall unreasonable amount of effort in response to PWGSC. Proponents responding to this RFP are requested to submit a full and complete proposal. The proposal will cover not only the qualifications, experience and organization of the proposed Consultant Team, but also the detailed approach to the work, and the pricing offered. A combination of the technical (including a Presentation) and price of services submissions will constitute the proposal. The Proponent must be authorized to provide architectural and multidisciplinary engineering services, licensed, or eligible to be licensed, certified or otherwise authorized to provide the necessary professional services to the full extent that may be required by provincial law in any province of Canada. SECURITY REQUIREMENT 1. Industrial Security Requirement: (a) Prior to award, the Proponent must hold a valid Security Clearance as indicated in SC1 - Security Requirement. Failure to comply with this requirement will render the Proposal non- responsive and no further consideration will be given to the Proposal. (b) The successful Proponent’s personnel, as well as any subconsultants and its personnel, who are required to perform any part of the work under the subsequent Contract must meet the mandatory security requirement as indicated in SC1 - Security Requirement. 2. It is the responsibility of the successful Proponent to ensure that the security requirements are met throughout the performance of the Contract. Canada will not be held liable or accountable for any delays or additional costs associated with the successful Proponent’s non-responsiveness with the mandatory security requirement. 3. Proponents are reminded to obtain the required security clearance promptly. Any delay in the award of a contract to allow the successful Proponent to obtain the required clearance will be at the entire discretion of the Contracting Authority. 4. For additional information on security requirements, proponents should refer to the Contract Security Program of Public Works and Government Services Canada ((http://www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/esc-src/introduction-eng.html) website.
