The Scope of  Work is, when requested, to repair, overhaul (R&O)
and test, modify and/or reduce to spares, four (4) groups of

Special Investigation Technical Studies (SITS), Technical
Investigations and Engineering Studies (TIES), supply of Field
Service Representative support or Mobile Repair Parties for the
stated equipment and its applicable systems, when requested. 
These pumps are used in fluid systems onboard various Department
of National Defence (DND) Ships.  The equipment is predominantly
pumps used in fresh & salt water, and in fuel & lube oil
systems, but also includes some pumps from pollution abatement
and other systems. The above Work shall be performed in
accordance with the requirement description and with the
Technical and Logistic Statements of Work attached to the bid
solicitation as Annexes A and C, respectively.

Canada may award up to four contracts (one for each group of
pumps).  Bidders are invited to bid on more than just one group
of items in the requirement, as Canada's preferred option is to
aggregate as many groups of items as possible under the fewest
number of contracts possible, in accordance with the evaluation
criteria and conditions of award set herein.

For the selected group(s) of Annex A, Bidders shall clearly
demonstrate in their bid that the Technical Data and R&O
Specifications required to undertake and successfully complete
all aspects of the R&O services described in the bid
solicitation are available to them at the time of bid closing
because: i) the bidder is the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) of the selected items; or, ii) the bidder has a current
license or agreement with the relevant OEM.

It is acceptable to use subcontractors to perform either part
of, or all aspects of, the R&O services described in the bid
solicitation; however, relationship and division of the work
must be clearly indicated in the bid submission.  The Contractor
shall be responsible for undertaking and completing all work as
requested.

Canada shall not be held liable for providing to the Contractor
any technical information other than the Equipment Performance
Sheets for each item in Appendices 4 to 7 of Annex A.  Canada
may provide limited technical information, if available, for
bidding purposes only. The technical information may be subject
to Limited Intellectual Property Rights and shall only be
released to bidders provided they request such data, and provide
certification of non disclosure to the Contracting Authority. 
This technical information for the pumps described herein has
been delivered to Canada under various Contracts since 1960.  As
the technical information has not been fully updated since that
time, Canada is unable to, and will not warrant its accuracy or
completeness. Canada shall not be responsible or liable for any
damage or loss which may result from use of, or reliance on,
this technical information.  The Contractor shall acknowledge
that it has no right to assert against Canada any claim or
demand based on the technical information resulting in its
inability to perform any of its obligations under the Contract,
including, without limitation, its obligation to meet the
Equipment Performance Specifications set out in Annex A of the
Contract.  

The Work shall be performed in the Contractor's or
Subcontractor's Plant or by their Mobile Repair Party on an as
and when requested basis for work authorized from date of
contract award to 31 March 2015.  Canada shall have the option
to extend the contract period  to 31 March 2016, and further to
31 March 2017 without recompeting the requirements.

Canada shall also have the option to add R&O services for any
new naval pump item or for any naval pump item without
contracted R&O services, to any resulting contract at any time
during the period of the contract at prices to be negotiated
with the Contractor. 

The Work, also described herein as "Major Overhaul", is
repairing and overhauling the equipment to 'as good as new'
condition and performance.  The Work shall be done as requested
herein and in section 3 of the Technical Statement of Work
(TSOW) and shall include: all labour and material required to
perform pump repairs and overhauls including receipt,
disassembly, visual, dimensional and non destructive
inspections, mandatory part replacements,  missing components
replacement, cleaning, repair, rebuilding and reconditioning
work resulting from inspections, reassembly, fitting,
calibrating, testing, painting, preservation, preparation for
delivery, packaging and shipping.  It shall also include, when
items are delivered to the contractor in reusable containers,
the inspection of the containers and all minor container
repairs, such as: partial repainting, stenciling, patching of
holes, recaulking of the seals and weather-stripping.

The Contractor shall supply all replacement parts required for
the repair & overhaul of the listed equipment as Contractor
Furnished Material (CFM).  The timely provision of parts to meet
the requested Turn Around Time (TAT) shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor.  

DND holds an inventory of spare parts associated with this
requirement and wishes to make these spares available at certain
conditions to the Contractor until full depletion of the
inventories.  All requests for Canadian Forces Supply Stock
(CFSS) by the contractor will be sent to the Requisition
Authority for approval prior to ordering from NDQAR authority. 
There will be no incentive basis of payment, the full market
value of the item ordered from the CFSS will be subtracted from
the contract fixed price of the item being overhauled. 

The Contractor shall also be responsible for providing all
necessary repair tools and test equipment.

Interested bidders must download the solicitation document and
attachments from MERX and, under separate cover, request in
writing the eight (8) appendices to the Technical Statement of
Work and eight (8) related specifications available only from
the Contracting Authority.
