If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.

Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier 

The Medium Ice Breaker (MIB) project consists of three sister vessels; the CCGS Captain Molly Kool, CCGS Jean Goodwill and CCGS Vincent Massey which were added to the Coast Guard Fleet in 2018. The three vessels are a Class of Vessel meaning they are to be maintained identically in-regards to fitted equipment for commonality, national spares, training and program delivery. As it’s a maintained Class of vessel, no substitutions can be accepted. 

To maintain class configuration; DERA Maritime Corporation was solicited to provide a quote for the exact same model of Lifeboat and Davit Package that was supplied for the previous refurbishment contract for both the CCGS Jean Goodwill and CCGS Vincent Massey.

The sole source is linked to the refurbishment strategy to maintain Class of Vessel for the MIB to allow for commonality, national spares, training and identical work platform across the Class of vessel. 
 
This Lifeboat/Davit Unit can be ready for delivery within three months after firm order; therefore, meeting our requirements with regards to scheduling.

This Lifeboat and Davit have been approved by CCG for use on MIB Project Vessels. By installing the same Lifeboat and Davit as the CCGS Jean Goodwill and CCGS Vincent Massey, parts will be readily available in case of breakdown.  With all three MIB Vessels maintaining commonality across the Class of Vessel, expensive spares can be managed and purchased nationally and the vessels will maintain an identical platform essential for Class Management.

DERA Maritime Corporation is also certified by DNV as an Approved Service Supplier for “Servicing and maintenance of lifeboats, launching appliances, on-load release gear and davit-launched life raft automatic release hooks, in accordance with Class Programme DNVGL-CP-0484”.
There are no alternative sources of supply for the same material in Canada. To maintain Class Configuration of the MIB Class Vessels, equivalent material will not be considered.

Period of the proposed contract or delivery date 
The product/system/equipment (as appropriate) must be delivered within 3 months after receipt of order. 

Cost estimate of the proposed contract 
The estimated value of the contract, is $358,645.00 (GST/HST extra).
