	RENTAL SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE OF A WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) wishes to
obtain services for the leasing and maintenance of water
purification systems for the Defence Research and Development
Canada buildings located at 2459 Pie-XI Boulevard North in
Quebec City. Defence Research and Development - Valcartier (DRDC
Valcartier) has internationally recognized expertise in optronic
systems, information systems and combat systems. DRDC Valcartier
brings together multidisciplinary teams to provide the Canadian
Forces with leading-edge scientific expertise, world-class
facilities and turnkey project management.

DRDC Valcartier receives its drinking water from the water
distribution system of the Valcartier Garrison, which is located
nearby. The part of the system that supplies the DRDC Valcartier
facilities is outdated and corrosion is present in many sectors.

Water quality is generally satisfactory but exceedances of iron,
lead and colour occur in some sectors.

PWGSC wishes to lease drinking water distribution systems
(refrigerated fountains) to ensure that the water quality is in
compliance with the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water
Quality (Health Canada) at all times. Twenty-three (23) devices
must be installed within two (2) weeks of the contract award.
Four (4) additional devices will be installed in the summer of
2013. Ten (10) more devices may need to be installed during the
term of the contract.

The required devices will supply refrigerated water only (no hot
or lukewarm water); the drinking water must be treated
sufficiently to meet the applicable standards. The devices will
reduce the iron, lead and colour currently present in the water
at DRDC Valcartier to levels below the maximum acceptable
concentrations set out in the Health Canada guidelines.

The term of the contract will be three (3) years plus two (2)
option years.
