It is PWGSC's intention to authorize one (1) Standing Offer, for
a period of three (3) years from the date of issuing the
Standing Offers with two (2) one year option periods.  The total
dollar value of the Standing Offer is estimated to be
$460,000.00 (Applicable Taxes included).  Individual call-ups
will vary, up to a maximum of $100,000.00 (Applicable Taxes
included). Proponents should note that there is no guarantee
that the full or any amount of the Standing Offer will be
called-up; PWGSC will issue call-ups only when the specific
services to be provided under the Standing Offer are needed. 
Please refer to Section SP5, CALL-UP PROCEDURE.
Proposals that are responsive (i.e. which meet all the mandatory
requirements set out in the Request for Standing Offer) will be
reviewed, evaluated and rated by a PWGSC Evaluation Board. In
the first instance, price envelopes will remain sealed and only
the technical components of the proposal will be evaluated in
accordance with the following to establish Technical Ratings:

To be considered further, proponents must achieve a minimum
weighted rating of seventy (70) out of the hundred (100) points
available for the rated technical criteria as specified above.

No further consideration will be given to proponents not
achieving the pass mark of seventy (70) points.  


PRICE OF SERVICES

All price proposal envelopes corresponding to responsive
proposals which have achieved the pass mark of seventy (70)
points are opened upon completion of the technical evaluation.
When there are three or more responsive proposals, an average
price is determined by adding all the price proposals together
and dividing the total by the number of price proposals being
opened. This calculation will not be conducted when one or two
responsive proposals are received.

All price proposals which are greater than twenty-five percent
(25%) above the average price will be set aside and will receive
no further consideration.

The remaining price proposals are rated as follows:
1.	The lowest price proposal receives a Price Rating of 100
2.	The second, third, fourth and fifth lowest prices receive
Price Ratings of 80, 60, 40, and 20 respectively.  All other
price proposals receive a Price Rating of 0.
3.	On the rare occasions where two (or more) price proposals are
identical, the matching price proposals receive the same rating
and the corresponding number of following ratings are skipped. 

The Price Rating is multiplied by the applicable percentage to
establish the Price Score.
SRE 5	 TOTAL SCORE
Total Scores will be established in accordance with the
following:
Rating	Possible Range 	% of Total Score	 Score (Points)
Technical Rating	0 - 100	 90	0 - 90
Price Rating	0 - 100	 10	0 - 10
Total Score		100	0 - 100


The proposals will be ranked in order from the highest to the
lowest using the total score (technical plus price).  The
proponents submitting the highest ranked proposals will be
recommended for issuance of a standing offer.  In the case of a
tie, the Proponent submitting the lower price for the services
will be selected.  Canada reserves the right to issue one (1)
Standing Offer.

There is a Security Requirement associated with this requirement
