(b)  Description :

Provide, as and when requested, rental services for specialty light vehicles (short term (30 days or less) and long term (more than 30 days)) to all Government of Canada departments, organizations, Crown corporations and agencies in the Quebec Region (including those described in the Financial Administration Act), located in one of the administrative regions described in the Annex "A" of the Request for a Standing Offer. This Standing Offer will cover specialty light vehicle rental services for Very Large SUVs and flatbed pickup trucks.  

For the Standing Offer purposes, the regions to be covered will be set out according to fifteen (15) province of Quebec administrative regions.  The Outaouais (administrative region 07) and the Nord-du-Quebec (administrative region 10) are excluded.  See annex "A" for the list of regions to be covered.

An offeror directory will be created for specialty light vehicle rental services, by region and for various categories of vehicles, as defined in Annex A - Requirement. In addition, the results of this process will be used to establish 2 "lists" of offerors within the directory. A "General List" composed of all the retained offerors and a "Green List" composed of the retained offerors that demonstrate an environmental commitment (see Annex E for details).

The Standing Offers will be used only for operational needs of Federal departments and agencies (example : to increase the vehicle fleet ). Rental must be on behalf of a department and not an individual.
 
(c)  Standing Offer Period :

The Standing Offer will be for a period of 2 years with an anticipated start date in January 2018.

(d)  Multiple Standing Offers :

Canada expects to issue multiple standing offers resulting from this process to offerors who meet the evaluation criteria and pass the selection procedure detailed in the Request for Standing Offers.  All responsive offerors who have submitted an offer will be registered in the directory.

(e)  Standing Offer value :

An undetermined number of Standing Offers may be established subsequent to this Request for Standing Offers. To make administration of the Standing Offers easier, all Standing Offers issued subsequent to this solicitation will reflect a dollar value of "NIL". This does not limit the volume of business the Offeror may do with the Federal Government.
