Public Works and Government Services Canada requires a Request
for Supply Arrangements (RFSA) for the provision of Heavy Civil
Engineering consulting services to locations in Atlantic Canada:
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and
Newfoundland and Labrador.  Any locations subject to any of the
Comprehensive Land Claim Agreements are excluded.  

The Heavy Civil Supply Arrangement includes the following
Specialty Services:
Civil /Municipal Engineering

Landscape Architecture

A supply arrangement is a non-binding arrangement between Canada
and pre-qualified suppliers that allows departments to award
contracts and solicit bids from a pool of pre-qualified
suppliers for specific requirements within the scope of the
supply arrangement. The intent of a supply arrangement is to
establish a framework to permit expeditious processing of
individual bid solicitations, which result in legally binding
contracts for the services described in those bid solicitations.

This requirement is subject to the North America Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), World Trade Organization Agreement on
Government Procurement (WTO-AGO), Canada-Chile Free Trade
Agreement (CCFTA) and Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA). 

Suppliers must identify the Specialty Service for each Region
that they are proposing to provide under any resulting SA.  It
is not necessary to submit a separate arrangement for all
Specialty Services to be issued an arrangement.  If a supplier
wishes to submit an arrangement for only a specific Specialty
Service in a specific region, it may do so.  There is no maximum
to the number of Supply Arrangements that may be issued as a
result of this RFSA.

Suppliers must provide a list of names, or other related
information as needed, pursuant to section 01 of Standard
Instructions 2008.

The Supply Arrangements will remain valid for a period of seven
years or until such time as Canada no longer considers them to
be advantageous to use them.  The period for awarding contracts
under the Supply Arrangement begins on the start date of the
Supply Arrangement.

The resulting Supply Arrangements will not be used for
deliveries within a Comprehensive Land Claims Settlement Area
(CLCSA).  All requirements for delivery within a CLCSA are to be
submitted to the Department of Public Works and Government
Services for individual processing.
