NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROCUREMENT

This request is for e-Learning design and development to produce
an interactive training program consisting of a duo purposed
courseware and Electronic Performance Support tool that will
allow AVN (Aviation Systems Technician) and/or ACS (Aircraft
Structures Technician) students to develop the knowledge and
skills to perform 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line maintenance repair and
overhaul of the Emergency Breathing System (EBS).

The EBS course is required by technicians posted into the Life
Support Equipment (LSE) Section at ATESS.  The LSE Section is
the CF authority in the highly specialized areas of EBS
performance, calibration and cleaning.

The eLearning program would include:

1.	 a self-paced pre-course package to replace the first 3 days
of a 4 day course, 

 2.	an EPSS tool to serve as both a training aid (to replicate
the practical training on the course) and as a job aid for use
by technicians (who do not have the AIOS qualification)
performing 1st line maintenance on the EBS, and 

 3.	an EPSS tool to serve as a replacement for practical
training on the course and as a job aid for use by AIOS graduate
students remaining in the LSE Cell, who perform 2nd and 3rd line
maintenance on the EBS.





To be declared responsive, a bid must:

a.	comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation; and
b.	meet all mandatory criteria; and
c.	obtain the required minimum of 70 points overall for the
technical evaluation criteria 		which are subject to point
rating. The rating is performed on a scale of 2000 points.

2.	Bids not meeting (a), (b) and (c) will be declared
non-responsive. 

3.	The selection will be based on the highest responsive
combined rating of technical merit and price. The ratio will be
60 % for the technical merit and 40% for the price. 

4.	To establish the technical merit score, the overall technical
score for each responsive bid will be determined as follows:
total number of points obtained / maximum number of points
available multiplied by the ratio of 60 %.

5.	To establish the pricing score, each responsive bid will be
prorated against the lowest evaluated price and the ratio of 40
%. 

6.	For each responsive bid, the technical merit score and the
pricing score will be added to determine its combined rating. 

7.	Neither the responsive bid obtaining the highest technical
score nor the one with the lowest evaluated price will
necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the highest
combined rating of technical merit and price will be recommended
for award of a contract.

The table below illustrates an example where the selection of
the contractor is determined by a 60/40 ratio of the technical
merit and price, respectively.  

Basis of Selection - Highest Combined Rating of Technical Merit
(60%) and Price  (40%) 			
Bidder 	Bidder 1	Bidder 2	Bidder 3
Overall Score for All the Point Rated Technical Criteria  	OS1:
120/135	OS2: 98/135	OS3: 82/135
Bid Evaluated Price	P1: C$60,000 	P2: C$55,000 	LP and P3:
C$50,000 
			
Calculations	Technical Merit Score (OSi x 60)	Pricing Score  (
LP/Pi x 40 )	Combined Rating
Bidder 1	120/135 x 60 = 53.33	50/60 x 40 = 33.33 	86.66
Bidder 2	98/135 x 60 = 43.55	50/55 x 40 = 36.36	79.91
Bidder 3	82/135 x 60 = 36.44	50/50 x 40 = 40.00	76.44
