Description
Trade Agreement: WTO-AGP/NAFTA/AIT/Canada-Peru FTA/Canada-Colombia FTA Tendering Procedures: All interested suppliers may submit a bid Attachment: None Competitive Procurement Strategy: Best Overall Proposal Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No Nature of Requirements: Regional Individual Standing Offers (RISOs) - Environmental Services & CEAA Assessments - Nova Scotia Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has a requirement to establish Regional Indivdual Standing Offers (RISOs) for a range of Environmental Services for federally owned properties in the province of Nova Scotia, as per the attached Required Services. These Environmental Services may include any or all of the following: Phased Environmental Site Assessments, Site Remediation, Risk Assessments, Environmental Auditing, Environmental Management Systems Support, and Environmental Impact Assessments, including related permitting and scientific studies (eg. Biology, Oceanography, Archeology). Unlike previous Standing Offers, this one includes Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) related work and there will not be a separate EIA Standing Offer. The Required Services (RS 2.1) has been amended in order to reflect these new requirements. PWGSC is intending to issue four (4) RISOs in response to this Request for Standing Offer (RFSO). This requirement will be evaluated in accordance with pre-set mandatory, technical and price criteria. Offers will be rated with regard to the: Proposed Team Approach and Management of Services, Past Experience of the Offeror, Senior Environmental Specialist Expertise and Experience, and Project Personnel Expertise and Experience, as well as the proposed price of services. The four (4) highest ranked offers will be recommended for issuance of a RISO based on ideal business distribution percentages which have been pre-established as follows: 30% of business volume to the top ranked consultant, 27% to the second, 24% to the third, and 19% to the fourth. Should we receive less than four (4) resposive offers, the value of the business distributed will be adjusted accordingly. The total value of these RISOs is estimated to be $7,000,000.00 (HSTI). Individual call-up amounts will vary, up to a maximum of $150,000.00 (HSTI). A Standing Offer is an agreement and not a contract. Canada does not guarantee that the full amount, or that any amount, will be called-up on any resulting RISO. The term for these RISOs will be two (2) years from the date of issuance, on an "as and when requested basis." IMPORTANT NOTE TO OFFERORS: Offerors are responsible for obtaining copies of solicitation forms, special instructions, and specifications which are now available directly from the MERX site. Offerors will arrange to print the documents they require at a printer of their choice or on their own equipment. Amendments, when issued, will be available from the MERX service provider. It is the responsibility of the Offerors to ensure that all amendments issued prior to solicitation closing have been obtained and addressed in the submitted offer.
