REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)

TITLE: CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY (CBSA) CLOSE CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV), SYSTEM UPGRADE AND EXPANSION PEACE BRIDGE CAMPUS.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has a requirement to upgrade and expand their current closed circuit television (CCTV) system at the Peace Bridge Campus in Fort Erie, Ontario.

The work includes the design, supply, installation, testing, provide operational and technical training and establish maintenance and support agreements for the new closed circuit television system (CCTV) equipment as described in the Statement of Work (SOW) (Refer to Annex A). Work will have to be accomplished with minimum disruption to the daily operation and security of the site.
 
This project will provide an opportunity to upgrade and expand the current CCTV system to an Open Enterprise Level Architecture (OELA) and will allow CBSA to:

- Quickly scale the CCTV system as CBSA changes and grows;
- Have a system with failover functionally that in-turn provides high      availability;
- Be in-line with the CBSA’s future plans; and
- Have industry standard IT components (i.e. servers, storage arrays,     network gear, etc.).

The Peace Bridge Campus site address is:
- 2 Peace Bridge Plaza, Fort Erie, Ontario L2A 0A7 (Traffic Building)
- 10 Queen Street, Fort Erie, Ontario L2A 5N7 (Commercial Building)

Delivery is requested to be completed within 20 weeks after contract award.

MANDATORY SITE VISIT

There is a mandatory bidders’ site visit associated with this requirement where personnel security screening is required prior to gaining access to the site.

It is mandatory that the Bidder or a representative of the Bidder visit the work site. Arrangements have been made for site visit to be held on May 17, 2018 at the Peace Bridge Campus, Fort Erie. Interested Bidders shall meet at the Principal Entrance of the Peace Bridge Campus, 2 Peace Bridge Plaza, Fort Erie, Ontario L2A 0A7. Bidders will be required to sign an attendance form at the site visit.

Bidders should confirm in their bids that they have attended the site visit.  Bidders who do not attend or send a representative to the site visit will not be given an alternative appointment and their bids will be rejected as non-compliant.  

The onus is on the bidders to arrive at the site visit in a timely manner.  Bidders arriving late may not be permitted to attend the site visit.

The Bidder must have at least one attendee at the site visit.

It is also a mandatory condition of this requirement that all attendees provide an e-mail confirming their attendance to the site visit.

Bidders are requested to clearly identify the name of the participant, the name of the company, e-mail address and provide the information requested in Section 2.6.1 Mandatory Conditions for the Site Visit below within the body of their e-mail along with a valid government issued piece of identification (ID) (i.e. Front and Back of Driver’s License or Passport) and submit it to the Contracting Authority by e-mail at robert.dube@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca or by fax to (819) 953-4944. It is requested that this information be received by this office no later than May 14, 2018.
